Hong Kong s southern hemisphere rivals South Africa have also confirmed their team for the 2009 Sixes with a squad loaded with short-game specialists. The team includes popular power hitter Loots Bosman, a Sixes veteran. The 32-year-old has played 12 ODIs for his country and scored the fasted fifty (from 22 balls) in South Africa's domestic Twenty20 competition making him the ideal batsman for the small Kowloon Cricket Club boundaries.
In addition, Davy Jacobs, Werner Coetsee, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan Bailey, Farhaan Behardien and David Wiese will come to Hong Kong along with Corrie van Zyl as coach/manager

Some interesting Rules
=======================
General
Each game shall be played between two teams of six players. A game consists of a maximum of five six-ball overs bowled by each side, except for the Finals which will consist of five eight ball overs. (N.B The tournament organisers reserve the right to revert that match to six ball overs in the event of unavoidable delays occurring during the course of the tournament)
Bowling
Each member of the fielding side shall bowl one over, with the exception of the wicketkeeper.
The wicketkeeper must be nominated at the time of the toss and must wear wicket-keeping gloves at the instant of delivery otherwise 'No ball' will be called. A different wicketkeeper may be nominated for each game but cannot be changed during the course of a game except under Rules A8 or A9.
Under-arm bowling is prohibited.
Wide
A wide shall count as 2 extras to the batting side and an extra ball shall be bowled.
Two lines shall be drawn, one at a distance of 24' on the off-side from middle stump and 18' on the on-side from middle stump, each at right angles to the popping crease. Any ball, which in the opinion of the Umpire, passes the batting crease, over or outside these lines shall be called a wide, providing it does not touch the bat and/or any part of the striker and irrespective of it being within reach of the striker.
Upon a call of 'Wide' the ball shall remain live.

No Ball
A No ball shall count as 2 extras to the batting side and an extra ball shall be bowled. Any runs scored from a No ball (off the bat, byes, or leg-byes) will be credited in addition to the 2 extras for the No ball.
Any ball, which, after bouncing, passes the batsman above shoulder height standing upright, or would have passed him above shoulder height if it strikes his bat or body, shall be called a No ball.
Any ball that, having not bounced after leaving the bowler's hand, passes the batsman above bail height and would, in the opinion of the umpire, have passed the popping crease above bail height, shall be called a No ball.
If, at the instant of delivery, the wicketkeeper is more than 25 meters away from the stumps at the striker's end, the square leg umpire shall call No ball.
The ball remains live after the call of No ball.
Last Man Stands
If five wickets fall (not including batsmen retiring not out under rule A7) before 5 overs are completed, the last remaining batsman shall bat on with the 5th out batsman acting as runner. The last remaining batsman must always take strike. He shall be declared out if his partner is declared out. The innings shall be completed at the fall of the sixth wicket.
Batsman Retire
A batsman must retire 'not out' on reaching a personal score of 31 runs, but may not retire before reaching 31 runs. The batsman may complete all runs possible off the stroke that takes him to 31 and the full score shall count. If one of the last pair of batsmen is out, any retired 'not out' batsman may resume his innings. If more than one batsman retires then they must return in the order in which they retired. Any batsman having not returned in order will be automatically 'retired out |
