  • Umpiring for Beginners
    THE LAWS OF CRICKET THE PREAMBLE – THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit of fair play rests with the captains. 1. There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the captain. Responsibility of captains The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the game as well as within the Laws. Player’s conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct the latter to take action. 2. Fair and unfair play According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required. 3. The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of: • Time wasting • Damaging the pitch • Dangerous and unfair bowling • Tampering with the ball • Any other action that they consider to be unfair 4. The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for: • Your opponents • Your own captain and team • The role of the umpires • The game’s traditional values 5.

What are the conditions under which a captain is allowed to withdraw an appeal? A. He must obtain the consent of the umpire within whose jurisdiction it falls and must seek this consent before the batsman concerned has left the field of play. B. He must obtain the consent of either umpire. C. He can only do so from a fair delivery. D. There are none – once an appeal has been made it stands and once the umpire has made a decision this cannot be altered under any circumstances. 2.

  • Legality of the Nottingham Test Ian Bell‟S Controversial Run Out
    Legality of the Nottingham Test Ian Bell‟s controversial run out dismissal on the third day of the Nottingham test which was subsequently revoked will be remembered in years to come more than the drubbing Indian team received at the hands of his team. It has divided right in the middle the whole cricketing fraternity on the issue of “spirit of cricket”. Did Dhoni & co. do the correct thing by withdrawing the appeal? Were Strauss and Flower right in approaching the Indian captain to persuade him to do the same? Whether what happened was morally correct or not has been discussed by everyone from the television commentators, cricketing icons to the school going kids in the streets of Mumbai. Some may even have discussed the role of umpires in this whole incident. But I have serious doubts over the legality of the cricket that was played subsequent to this event in that test match. This is what the ICC law 27.8 says about the withdrawal of an appeal: “The captain of the fielding side may withdraw an appeal only if he obtains the consent of the umpire within whose jurisdiction the appeal falls. He must do so before the outgoing batsman has left the field of play. If such consent is given, the umpire concerned shall, if applicable, revoke his decision and recall the batsman.” The first clause in this law is very clear. The withdrawal of the appeal was done with the consent of the umpires Asad Rauf and Marais Erasmus, which is certainly in accordance with the law.

  • Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12Th 'B' Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher
    ON Name – Nitin Kumar Class – 12th ‘B’ Roll No. – 9752*** Teacher – Rajender Sir http://www.facebook.com/nitinkumarnik Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School No. 3 INTRODUCTION Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held. The ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. The game is most popular in Australasia, England, the Indian subcontinent, the West Indies and Southern Africa.

  • Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller Starts to Look at the Most Controversial Form of Dismissal
    Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller starts to look at the most controversial form of dismissal Of the 40 wickets that fell in the match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan at Cheltenham that ended on 1st August 2010 as many as 18 of the victims were dismissed lbw. Was this, I wondered, a possible world record? Asking Philip Bailey to interrogate the files of Cricket Archive, I discovered that it was not: back in 1953/54 a match between Patiala and Delhi had seen 19 batsmen lose their wickets in this way. However, until the start of the 2010 season the record in English first-class cricket had stood at 17, but, barely credibly, Cheltenham had provided the third instance of a match with 18 lbws in the course of the summer. Gloucestershire had already been involved in one of these, against Sussex at Bristol, while the third occasion was the Sussex-Middlesex match at Hove. Was this startling statistic for 2010 an indication that leg before decisions are more freely given nowadays? It seemed to correlate with an impression that modern technology has given umpires a better feel for when a ball is likely to hit the wicket and that the days when batsmen could push forward and feel safe were now over. I determined to dig deeper and examine trends over time. This article confines itself to matches played in the County Championship since World War I. I propose looking at Tests in a future issue. The table below shows how the incidence of lbw dismissals has fluctuated over time.

  • Umpires Technique Manual
    UMPIRES TECHNIQUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION – WHAT IS GOOD TECHNIQUE Good technique is the ability to cope with all aspects of the game. On the field of play, knowledge of the Laws, the intentions and interpretations must be applied to ever changing situations. A decision made during the first session of play may not evoke the same emotional response from either the player or umpire as one made late in the day when the match is in the balance. Theoretical knowledge is one thing but being able to make reasoned and consistent decisions from split second actions when under pressure is quite another. There are many aspects which go towards attaining good technique including: • Preparation • Working as a team • Focus and concentration • Dealing with Captains and Players • Self-Assessment • Coping with pressure • Earning respect This manual has been introduced to assist umpires in carrying out their duties in a more consistent and competent manner. Some of the suggestions as written may not suit each individual umpire but can be refined to suit your nature and style and should not be rejected outright. It is recommended that, if you require clarification of these techniques, you should discuss them with the Training and Development Officer. i CONTENTS Section Topic Page 1 Before the Match ....................................................... 1 2 Signals and Calls ........................................................ 2 3 Decision Making ........................................................ 3 4 Positioning ................................................................

  • Cricketing Chances
    CRICKETING CHANCES G. L. Cohen Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty of Science University of Technology, Sydney PO Box 123, Broadway NSW 2007, Australia [email protected] Abstract Two distinct aspects of the application of probabilistic reasoning to cricket are considered here. First, the career bowling figures of the members of one team in a limited-overs competition are used to determine the team bowling strike rate and hence the probability of dismissing the other team. This takes account of the chances of running out an opposing batsman and demonstrates that the probability of dismissing the other team is approximately doubled when there is a good likelihood of a run-out. Second, we show that under suitable assumptions the probability distribution of the number of scoring strokes made by a given batsman in any innings is geometric. With the further assumption (which we show to be tenable) that the ratio of runs made to number of scoring strokes is a constant, we are able to derive the expression (A/(A + 2))0/2 as the approximate probability of the batsman scoring at least c runs (c ~ 1), where A is the batsman's average score over all past innings. In both cases, the results are compared favourably with results from the history of cricket. 1 Introduction In an excellent survey of papers written on statistics (the more mathematical kind) applied to cricket, Clarke [2] writes that cricket "has the distinction of being the first sport used for the illustration of statistics", but: "In contrast to baseball, few papers in the professional literature analyse cricket, and two rarely analyse the same topic." This paper analyses two aspects of cricket.
