10 years of LMS cricket

Johannesburg - It is not an Internet start-up, the latest fitness craze, or even the makings of a global fast food empire. Rather, cricket is its forte, but not quite as you know it.

The rules of Last Man Stands (LMS) cricket differ from the cricket you are used to seeing on television or at your local field.

These include teams being eight-a-side versus the typical 11, overs are five balls each instead of six, only one extra ball is permitted an over for wides and no-balls and a second wide or no-ball in an over is punished with three penalty runs instead of one.
