  • A Cricket Field Can Range from 100-160 Yards Across and Be Any Size Or Shape As Long As It Is Hard and Fairly Flat. Equipment
    A Cricket field can range from 100-160 yards across and be any size or shape as long as it is hard and fairly flat. Wicket Equipment: Cricket Ball - Hard, cork and string ball, covered in leather. Joined in two hemispheres with the seam like the equator and the stitching is raised on the seam. The ball is traditionally dyed red, with the stitching white. Cricket Bat - Made of willow and the blade is flat on one side. It is humped on the other side for strength. The bat can only be a maximum of 38 inches long. Wickets - There are 2 wickers - wooden structures made up of 3 stumps topped by a pair of bails. Stumps - 3 wooden posts 1 inch wide by 32 inches high. Bails - 2 wooden crosspieces that sit in grooves atop the stumps. The Game: Cricket is a team sport for 2 teams of 11 players each. A formal game of cricket can last anything from an afternoon to several days. Although the game play and rules are very different, the basic concept is similar to that of baseball. Teams bat in successive innings and attempt to score runs, while the opposing team fields and attempts to bring and end to the batting team's innings. After each team has batted the same number of innings the team with the most runs wins. Play begins when the bowler (like a pitcher) bowls a ball to the batsman. It must be bowled over arm and the arm must be straight. The difference between bowling and throwing is that the elbow is cocked when you throw.

  • Credit to Possible Off a Bowler Fielder No Ball? Wide?
    DISMISSALS IN CRICKET Which Credit to Possible off a Method umpire? Bowler Fielder No Ball? Wide? Bowled Bowler’s end Yes No No Impossible Caught Bowler’s end Yes Yes No Impossible LBW Bowler’s end Yes No No Impossible Hit-wicket Striker’s end Yes No No Yes Stumped Striker’s end Yes No No Yes Hit the ball twice Bowler’s end No No Yes Impossible Handled the ball Bowler’s end No No Yes Yes Obstructing the field Bowler’s end No No Yes Yes Run out Either No No Yes Yes Timed out Bowler’s end No No No No Retired out Bowler’s end No No N/A N/A Notes: • Being bowled takes precedence over any other form of dismissal. Eg: If the batsman is hit on the pads and could be deemed LBW but the ball goes on to hit the wickets, the batsman is out bowled. • Being caught takes precedence over all other forms of dismissal except for being bowled. • Timed out: this happens when the new batsman takes longer than 3 minutes to take their position unless there is some valid reason for this. • Hit the ball twice: this happens when the batsman hits the ball in play, and then before the ball is touched by the fielder hits the ball again. This does not apply if the batsman is returning the ball to the fielder, if it has already been touched by a fielder, or if the batsman is attempting to protect their wickets. • Hit wicket: this is when the striker hits their own wicket with their bat or person, while the ball is in play.

  • The Laws of Cricket
    CHANGES TO THE LAWS OF CRICKET (With effect from 1st April 2019) OFFICIAL Marylebone Cricket Club Changes to The Laws of Cricket (With effect from 1st April 2019) 1 Changes to the Laws of In 2017, MCC published a new Code of Laws, which incorporated the most wide- Cricket – with effect from ranging and ambitious alterations to the Laws of Cricket for almost two decades. 1 April 2019 The Code has been well-received, and had a positive impact on cricket the world over. However, over the last two years, some issues have emerged, and so MCC has produced a second edition, which will come into force on 1st April 2019. The majority of these changes are simply minor corrections or clarifications, and will not make a material difference to the vast majority of cricket played around the world. One change removes a whole clause (the previous Law 41.19), but this is simply because, after changes to Law 41.2, the clause was duplication. However, there are a few significant changes. First, the decision was taken to rework Law 41.7, which relates to full-pitch deliveries over waist height (known colloquially as ‘beamers’). MCC listened to significant feedback and has handed more control to umpires to determine whether a delivery is dangerous. Also relevant to that Law, and at the behest of umpires, MCC has for the first time put into the Laws a definition of the waist – something that has long-since been a point of contention, particularly in the recreational game. There is also a slight change to Law 41.16, which should further confirm the principle, established in the 2017 Code, that it is the non-striker’s duty to remain in his/her ground until the bowler has released the ball.
