There will be three Power Plays, which have capital letters in the official press release, thus making them more powerful than playful. The first PP must be taken during the first 10 overs and the final two by the batting side at any time except from the 35th over onwards ... Teams will be able to use all 12 players at, if I have got this entirely right, any time during the match. So, if, say, Albie Morkel is chucking down juicy beef pies, the coach or captain can call him off the field and replace him with the 12th man, who will be wearing an armband to let every one know that he is indeed the 12th man.
