  • A Glossary of Cricket Terms
    A glossary of cricket terms Cricket, more than most sports, is full of expressions and terms designed to bewilder the newcomer (and often even the more seasoned follower). Arm Ball A ball bowled by a slow bowler which has no spin on it and so does not turn as expected but which stays on a straight line ("goes on with the arm") The Ashes Series between England and Australia are played for The Ashes Asking rate - The runs required per over for a team to win - mostly relevant in a one-dayer Ball Red for first-class and most club cricket, white for one-day matches (and, experimentally, women once used blue balls and men orange ones). It weighs 5½ ounces ( 5 ounces for women's cricket and 4¾ ounces for junior cricket) Ball Tampering The illegal action of changing the condition of the ball by artificial means, usually scuffing the surface, picking or lifting the seam of the ball, or applying substances other than sweat or saliva Bat-Pad A fielding position close to the batsman designed to catch balls which pop up off the bat, often via the batsman's pads Batter Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in Beamer A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on) Bend your back - The term used to signify the extra effort put in by a fast bowler to obtain some assistance from a flat pitch Belter A pitch which offers little help to bowlers and so heavily favours batsmen Blob A score of 0 (see duck) Bodyline (also known as leg theory) A tactic most infamously used by England in 1932-33, although one which had been around for some time before that, in which the bowler aimed at the batsman rather than the wicket with the aim of making him give a catch while attempting to defend himself.

  • AUTUMN 2020 NEWSLETTER of WALES ACO
    AUTUMN 2020 NEWSLETTER of WALES ACO Welcome to the AUTUMN Newsletter from WALES ACO-keeping you informed of developments in the UMPIRING and SCORING World around WALES. 2020 THE SEASON THAT NEARLY WASN’T Well we finally got there after months of fretting that there wouldn’t be any cricket in 2020, in late July we were given the go ahead to start the 2020 season. Full credit must go to CRICKET WALES for their behind the scenes efforts in persuading the politicians that CRICKET was safe to return. We saw a number of protocols put in place e.g. running lanes, hand sanitising and limiting the number of people in the playing “bubble” First out of the blocks were GUERNSEY and former WALES ACO and VALE CRICKET CLUB member CARL BROOKS officiated in the first game. Carl has kindly penned and article for us which you can find later in this NEWSLETTER. We thank Carl and send our best wishes to him and all our friends and colleagues involved in Cricket in Guernsey The Leagues were condensed into smaller groups or “Clusters” to add a competitive edge. The response of scorers and umpires was remarkable with excellent availability. It has to be understood that a few of our members, quite rightly, decided that it wasn’t appropriate for them to officiate and this is fully understood and appreciated, who hope to see them all back fit and well for the 2021 season. One disappointment was that the North Wales League decided not to have appointed Umpires which, although a good number of Umpires found games, didn’t help in the attracting of new Umpires.

  • CHANGE to LAW 41.7 (From 1St April 2019)
    CHANGE TO LAW 41.7 (From 1st April 2019) OFFICIAL Marylebone Cricket Club Change to Law 47.1 (From 1st April 2019) 1 Introduction In October 2017, MCC published a new Code of Laws. The 2017 Code was the first complete review and rewrite of the Laws in almost two decades. It was the result of a global consultation, took three years of drafting and sought to make the Laws fairer, more inclusive and easier to understand. In the year since publication of the 2017 Code, MCC has listened to a great deal of feedback from around the world. Happily, most of it has been positive, with the Laws being adopted and understood by players, umpires and supporters. However, there have been some errors spotted, and one Law change in particular has proved unpopular. MCC is thus publishing the 2nd Edition of the 2017 Code, which will come into force on 1st April 2019. Most of the changes which will differentiate this 2nd Edition from the first are small – minor corrections, explanatory clarifications, and the odd alteration to a Law that was drafted imperfectly. These will be published, in full, at the start of January 2019, giving all stakeholders plenty of time to read and process them before they come into force. There is, however, one more significant change, which will have an impact on players and umpires – a reworking of Law 41.7, which relates to full-pitch deliveries over waist height (known colloquially as ‘beamers’). Because this will affect umpire training, MCC has chosen to publish the new Law at the earliest possible date.

  • Michael Surwald Life Member # 23
    Life Member Michael Surwald Life Member # 23 Mick Surwald - One of the best spin bowlers in FTGDCA during the 80’ & 90’s and his stats tell you why. He is the all-time leading wicket taker at our club (since 1978) with 489 wickets at 15.43. Mick won 11 bowling averages. He won 7 in the 1sts in 8 years, 3 of which were also association averages. He also won 4 in 2nds (2 association) and the 2nd XI bowling award is named in his honour. He was a left arm orthodox bowler and legend has it – never bowled a full toss in his career. He was also an outstanding slip fieldsman. A 1st XI premiership player with best figures on 7/22 in the 1’s. Mick was secretary for many years, and as a teacher at Monbulk High School, was always on hand to serve the club so diligently. Mick wrote down some memories of his time the MCC throughout the 1980’s In the 1970s I played cricket for Mont Albert as an opening fast bowler. We were all fast bowlers back then – Lillee and Thompson opened bowling for Australia. But it was not much fun, the ball lost it shine after 5 overs, so as the afternoon wore on it was harder to move the ball. A friend talked me into trying spin bowling, arguing that there were not many cricketers bowling spin at the time. So when my young family moved to Monbulk in 1980, I fronted up to the club and told the captain I was a spin bowler.
