Cricket

The first book on the market to deal with the new cricket rules.

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.

Reviews for Wisden's The Laws Of Cricket

Cricket fans will need - and love - this book, which tells you everything you need to know about the 42 new laws, a 2000 update of the 1980 code, from what they were changed from to what the new rulings say, and how the decisions were arrived at. Contentious issues such as those affecting the 'no ball' law are also aired. Surprisingly clear and full of interesting insights into the history and practice of the game. (Kirkus UK)
