WISDEN'S THE LAWS OF CRICKET sets out in full the text of the new laws of cricket, 42 in number (with permission of the MCC which own the copyright in them). For each law it provides a commentary covering the reasons for any changs, explaining the background, and highlighting how they are likely to affect the way the game is played at every level. Full discussion is devoted to the major contentious issues, such as the introduction of penalty runs for various misdemeanours, and the revisions to the 'no ball' law. Don Oslear, the distinguished umpire, has been intimately involved over several years in the process of drafting the new laws, and explains why they needed changing, what views his committe recieved from the governing bodies of all the cricketing nations and from players, spectators and the media, how these were resolved, and what effect they are expected to have on the future of the game. No one who plays cricket, or is seriously interested in the game, can afford to miss this book.

This version of the Laws of Cricket - Simplified is based on the 2nd edn 2019 of the 2017 Code of the MCC Laws of Cricket. A new version.written by this author, based on the 3rd edn 2022 is, also, available on Google Playbook. Though the MCC has issued a 3rd edn 2022 which is to come into effect worldwide on 1st Oct 2022, the BCCI, the controlling body for Cricket in India has decided to continue using the 2017 Code 2nd edn 2019 during the cricket season 2022-23. You will find this book useful if your home Board has not yet migrated to the new version (3rd edn 2022) of the MCC Laws. I am making available this version as an eBook since umpires & cricketers will continue to find this book helpful for understanding the Laws during the coming season, till your home board adopts the new laws. ABOUT THIS BOOK Ever since the 2000 code of the Laws of Cricket was released, and I taught the same at the MCA entrance level, I have felt that the Laws of Cricket have been drafted in a manner that acommon lay person will be able to comprehend without the guidance of a tutor. The Laws of Cricket, in its present form, is inundated with many cross-references that might, in my view, make the lay reader, the schoolboy; the club cricketer; the budding umpire, shy away from the study of the Laws of Cricket, should he happen to pick up a Law book. I shudder to think how those, whose first or second language is not English, cope with this. With a view to making the Laws of Cricket easily understandable for just these persons, who are at the grassroots of the game, I set about writing this book. This book is based on the 2017 Code, 2nd edition 2019 of the Laws of Cricket. To help in understanding some of the more complex of the Laws, which, at places, have a statement of law & exceptions to it, and exceptions to exceptions, and with cross-references to cross-references, I have included a few charts / tables to help break down some of the more complex Laws into smaller and more easily digestible morsels. Since I have always found it useful to do so, I have highlighted, by underlining, and making bold, certain key phrases and keywords in the Laws, which help the learner to understand it better. Also, certain alerts are provided in the margins, to draw the attention of the reader to critical rules. My efforts are to make the Laws of Cricket more user-friendly. This book does not seek to replace the official Laws of Cricket, the copyright for which is owned by the governing body for the Laws of Cricket, the Marylebone Cricket Club, but to help spread it wider and to penetrate to the grassroots. For any dispute or further study, a reference should be made to the original Laws of Cricket. Though this has made the rephrasing or paraphrasing of the Laws infinitely more difficult, I have retained the original numbering of clauses & sub-clauses, so that the reader can go to the relevant clause in the original Laws of Cricket as and when needed. I recommend that the student-reader have a copy of the ‘Blue-book’ ready when reading my book. I hope the students of the game will find this book useful as also will anyone preparing for an umpiring test at any level. It will be my pleasure to answer any query on the Laws of Cricket sent to [email protected] M. R. Singh

Now, incorporates the amendment made by the MCC on 19.01.2023 Some content is revised as of 24.05.2023, basically, highlighting some aspects. IMPORTANT - Added a table on page A70. ABOUT THE BOOK After the encouraging success of the first book based on the 2017 Code (2nd edn 2019), the author presents this book which incorporates the changes made by the MCC in the 3rd edn 2022. For ease of understanding, these changes are marked in red throughout the book, accompanied by suitable notes & explanations. The original Laws of Cricket are generally seen as presenting quite a challenge for any reader, what with the ‘legalese’ and the long, complex sentences, and the use of several cross-references. ‘The Laws of Cricket – Simplified’, is written for the aspiring young umpire, the schoolgirl/boy, the casual cricketer, the club cricketer, the cricket commentator - even the armchair expert - whose interest in the game might arouse within him/her a desire to pick up a copy of the official Laws of Cricket, and who might be somewhat flummoxed by the intricacies of the Laws. This is an effort to help the lay reader understand the Law, by simplifying the language used and breaking up long sentences. The book is embellished with illustrations, charts & tables in order to break up the more complex Laws for easier understanding. The simplification of the Laws is somewhat limited by my desire to keep its basic structure the same to enable easier look-up in the original Laws in case it is desired. It is hoped that the serious learner might, also, find this book useful, especially the accompanying charts & tables.

This QUESTION BANK is based on the Laws of Cricket 2017 Code (3rd edition 2022). As the name, QUESTION BANK, suggests, this book is a compilation of questions – 1001+ practical game-situations in Cricket, which are designed to test the knowledge of the serious student of the game. The QUESTION BANK is divided into convenient sections. The questions are all multiple-answer questions, and are aimed at highlighting some of the little-known nuances of the Laws. Answers for the questions, along with explanations wherever necessary, are provided at the end, in a separate section. In addition, I have added four Appendices as follows because I thought these might help the practical Umpire: Appendix Z1 – Examples of Calculation of Minimum Overs (Law 12) Appendix Z2 – Examples of working of Penalty Time (Law 24) Appendix Z3 – Graphics that explain what is a ‘Batter’s Ground’ (Law 30) Appendix Z4 – Graphics that explain the various possible situations of a Batter with a Runner’ (Law 25) The QUESTION BANK is, primarily, aimed at the aspiring Umpire who might be preparing for some umpiring qualification test at some level. Besides, I believe that the knowledge of an Umpire is best tested by evaluating how he applies his learning to the many varied situations the game can throw up. That is why I have chosen to put before the student, game situations to which he can apply the knowledge he might, already, have acquired. I think, however, this book can be of immense use to just about anyone associated with the game. If you are a player, coach, match referee, sports journalist, commentator, and, even, a spectator, you will find this book to be of use when faced with a peculiar game-situation. Even as I pen this, the 3rd Test match of the England-India series is on, and questions have arisen about the guard position of Indian player, Rishab Pant. I found that senior and experienced commentators did not know if the Umpire was at all empowered by the Laws to check the erring Striker. In the same game, a question arose about Rishab Pant, again, taping the last two fingers of his wicket-keeping gloves. The Umpires had ruled that it was illegal and had asked him to remove the tape. Many such situations arise in the game, the answers to which are not always clear. It has been my experience that players, their Captains, match referees and commentators do not really know some of the more intricate laws. In fact, I have seen some who don’t know even some of the simplest of the Laws! This book will answer all the questions they can possibly think of, and did not know whom to ask. I have no doubt that a better understanding of the Laws can make one a better player and a better coach. In my view, every batch of cricket trainees should undergo a session or two on the Laws of Cricket where the focus can be on the laws most concerning them. They need not be put through the whole lot. Besides, every player will hang up his boots one day. The knowledge acquired through this book might kindle some interest and might lay the foundations of an umpiring career ahead. I hope this book is found to be of use. mrsingh 28.08.2021 Preface to the REVISED edition After the publication of the first Question Bank in 2022, I soon realised that there were quite a few small but embarrassing errors. In a book of this kind, on which a lot of newbie umpires relied, this was most unacceptable and, also, damaging to my reputation and credibility. Most of the errors were minor in nature, like pointing to a wrong answer option or merely typos. But, to my everlasting regret, a few were not. I owe my buyers an apology on this account. In this edition, I have, hopefully, managed to eliminate all these errors and make this a book that readers can rely upon. I have, also, added a few more questions based on recent events. And I wish my student umpires good luck in their endeavors in mastering the Laws of Cricket. M.R. Singh 1. 11. 2023

Of all the rules governing sport, the laws of cricket are among the oldest. The first written rules of 1744 survive uniquely on the border of a piece of linen at the MCC Museum of Cricket. They were drawn up by certain 'Noblemen and Gentlemen' at a time when gambling on cricket matches was rife. The 'laws' were codified to ensure a fair outcome when so much was riding on the game. The story of the evolution of these laws and how they affected the game is a fascinating and seldom told chapter in the history of cricket.Following on from the success of The Rules of Association Football 1863 and The Original Rules of Rugby, this book reproduces the complete text of the original laws and is illustrated with images from the unique manuscript held at the MCC as well as images of the game from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also includes what is thought to be the first known image of cricket dating from a fourteenth-century manuscript now in the Bodleian Library.

Cricket, law and the meaning of life ... In a readable, informed and absorbing discussion of cricket’s defining controversies – bodyline, chucking, ball-tampering, sledging, walking and the use of technology, among many others – David Fraser explores the ambiguities of law and social order in cricket. Cricket and the Law charts the interrelationship between cricket and legal theory – between the law of the game and the law of our lives – and demonstrates how cricket’s cultural conventions can escape the confines of the game to carry far broader social meanings. This engaging study will be enjoyed by lawyers, students of culture and cricket lovers everywhere.
