Product Description
Book Description
The first book on the market to deal with the new cricket rules.
Product Description
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. (20000208)

Format:Paperback
This is the ideal reference for all cricket lovers. Not intended to be glamourous, or read like a novel, the book achieves its aims by being a comprehensive rulebook. The commentary provided by Don Oslear is informative and helpful, and highlights many of the new changes with the 2000 code.

Format:Paperback
This is essential reading for all cricketers and cricket umpires. There are 119 changes to the laws, including a 5-run penalty for dissent. So we can't rely on our old memories of what the laws used to be. Unless of course the umpire hasn't read this book ...

2003 update to the Laws of Cricket
17 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This book is a useful reference for umpires and others with an interest in the details of the Laws of the game. By providing a rationale behind the evolution of the Laws, the reader is better able to understand the game as it is played today. However one should note that the version available via Kindle (which I sampled only) is based on the 2003 version of the Laws, and a 2010 update has since been released.
