  • LAW 24 NO BALL 1. Mode of Delivery
    LAW 24 NO BALL 1. Mode of delivery (a) The umpire shall ascertain whether the bowler intends to bowl right handed or left handed, over or round the wicket, and shall so inform the striker. It is unfair if the bowler fails to notify the umpire of a change in his mode of delivery. In this case the umpire shall call and signal No ball. (b) Underarm bowling shall not be permitted except by special agreement before the match. 2. Fair delivery - the arm For a delivery to be fair in respect of the arm the ball must not be thrown. See 3 below. Although it is the primary responsibility of the striker's end umpire to ensure the fairness of a delivery in this respect, there is nothing in this law to debar the bowler's end umpire from calling and signalling No ball if he considers that the ball has been thrown. (a) If, in the opinion of either umpire, the ball has been thrown, he shall (i) call and signal No ball. (ii) caution the bowler, when the ball is dead. This caution shall apply throughout the innings. (iii) inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket, the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side of what has occurred. (b) If either umpire considers that after such caution a further delivery by the same bowler in that innings is thrown, the umpire concerned shall repeat the procedure set out in (a) above, indicating to the bowler that this is a final warning.

  • The Laws of Cricket (2017 Code) Major Changes Effective from 1
    The Laws of Cricket (2017 Code) Major Changes effective from 1 October 2017 The Laws have been re-ordered into a more logical sequence and written in language applying to all persons. While there are still 42 Laws in the 2017 Code, two Laws have been deleted and two Laws added. The Handled the ball Law has been deleted and merged into Law 37 (Obstructing the field) thus reducing the number of dismissals from ten to nine. The Lost ball Law has been deleted and is now dealt with under Law 20 (Dead ball). The following is a summary of the major changes to the Laws. Law 2 (The Umpires) If either umpire considers conditions are dangerous or unreasonable then play will be suspended. For play to resume both umpires must agree. Law 5 (The Bat) Limits are now placed on the depth and thickness of a bat which may be no more than 67mm (2.64in) in depth with 40mm (1.56in) edges. The width of a bat remains unchanged at 108mm (4.25in). Provision for junior bats for use only in junior cricket e.g. coloured bats, is now made. Law 8 (The Wickets) Law 8.4 has been amended to allow the tethering of bails to the stumps to help prevent injury. Law 21 (No ball) A ball bouncing more than once before reaching the popping crease will now be called a No ball. No ball will also be called for a bowler’s delivery which lands off the pitch. Law 24 (Fielder’s absence; substitutes) This Law now allows, with the umpires’ consent, a substitute to keep wicket.

  • FIELDING: Throwing Skills 1
    FIELDING: Throwing Skills 1 Learning Outcome: • Throw a ball accurately Starter Skill: Overarm Throw Look at these pictures of a boy about to throw a ball underarm and overarm at the stumps. What are the skills involved in each type of throw? Discuss your answers in groups of four and then share your thoughts with the rest of the class. Agree which you think is the right answer. • Stand side-on and point non-throwing arm at partner. • Lift your throwing arm up and bend it at the elbow. • Rock backward then forward, releasing the ball quickly. • Keep your eye fixed on the target. • For accuracy, aim to throw the ball into the wicket keeper’s hands if attempting to hit the stumps. Some Fielding Rules • Each team has a minimum of eight players including a wicket keeper who does not bowl. • A captain is appointed to each team. • The captain, in consultation with team mates, is responsible for field placements and order of batting. • Waiting batters can act as scorers and umpire. Warm-up and Stretching Can you think of some good warm-up exercises to prepare you for throwing? Think about the parts of the body you will use most. Remember to include: • Cardiovascular activity to get your heart and lungs working • Dynamic stretches • Static stretches FIELDING: Throwing Skills 1 Have a go Extensions • Once you are confident of your technique, repeat the exercise standing further away from the stumps.

  • LAWS of CRICKET 2017 CODE (2Nd Edition - 2019)
    THE LAWS OF CRICKET 2017 CODE (2nd Edition - 2019) © Marylebone Cricket Club Laws of Cricket 2017 Code (2nd Edition - 2019) 1 THE PREFACE The game of Cricket has been governed by a series of Codes of Laws for over 270 years. These Codes have been subject to additions and alterations recommended by the governing authorities of the time. Since its formation in 1787, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has been recognised as the sole authority for drawing up the Code and for all subsequent amendments. The Club also holds the World copyright. The basic Laws of Cricket have stood remarkably well the test of time. It is thought the real reason for this is that cricketers have traditionally been prepared to play in the Spirit of the Game, recognised in the Preamble since 2000, as well as in accordance with the Laws. The changes made in this 2017 Code reflect views following a global consultation with players, umpires and administrators at all levels of the game, including the International Cricket Council, the sport’s global governing body. The game has evolved quickly, requiring six Editions of the 2000 Code to be published in only fifteen years. A new Code was necessary to rationalise these amendments and to list the Laws in a more logical format and order. The guiding objectives behind the changes, evidenced from the consultation, have been to maintain a fair balance between bat and ball, to make the Laws easier to understand, to safeguard players’ welfare, and to give umpires more mechanisms to address instances of poor behaviour by players.
