Book Description
Of all the rules governing sport, the laws of cricket are among the oldest. The first written rules of 1744 survive uniquely on the border of a piece of linen at the MCC Museum of Cricket. They were drawn up by certain 'Noblemen and Gentlemen' at a time when gambling on cricket matches was rife. The 'laws' were codified to ensure a fair outcome when so much was riding on the game. The story of the evolution of these laws and how they affected the game is a fascinating and seldom told chapter in the history of cricket.Following on from the success of The Rules of Association Football 1863 and The Original Rules of Rugby, this book reproduces the complete text of the original laws and is illustrated with images from the unique manuscript held at the MCC as well as images of the game from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also includes what is thought to be the first known image of cricket dating from a fourteenth-century manuscript now in the Bodleian Library.

Book Description
This QUESTION BANK is based on the Laws of Cricket 2017 Code (3rd edition 2022). As the name, QUESTION BANK, suggests, this book is a compilation of questions – 1001+ practical game-situations in Cricket, which are designed to test the knowledge of the serious student of the game. The QUESTION BANK is divided into convenient sections. The questions are all multiple-answer questions, and are aimed at highlighting some of the little-known nuances of the Laws. Answers for the questions, along with explanations wherever necessary, are provided at the end, in a separate section. In addition, I have added four Appendices as follows because I thought these might help the practical Umpire: Appendix Z1 – Examples of Calculation of Minimum Overs (Law 12) Appendix Z2 – Examples of working of Penalty Time (Law 24) Appendix Z3 – Graphics that explain what is a ‘Batter’s Ground’ (Law 30) Appendix Z4 – Graphics that explain the various possible situations of a Batter with a Runner’ (Law 25) The QUESTION BANK is, primarily, aimed at the aspiring Umpire who might be preparing for some umpiring qualification test at some level. Besides, I believe that the knowledge of an Umpire is best tested by evaluating how he applies his learning to the many varied situations the game can throw up. That is why I have chosen to put before the student, game situations to which he can apply the knowledge he might, already, have acquired. I think, however, this book can be of immense use to just about anyone associated with the game. If you are a player, coach, match referee, sports journalist, commentator, and, even, a spectator, you will find this book to be of use when faced with a peculiar game-situation. Even as I pen this, the 3rd Test match of the England-India series is on, and questions have arisen about the guard position of Indian player, Rishab Pant. I found that senior and experienced commentators did not know if the Umpire was at all empowered by the Laws to check the erring Striker. In the same game, a question arose about Rishab Pant, again, taping the last two fingers of his wicket-keeping gloves. The Umpires had ruled that it was illegal and had asked him to remove the tape. Many such situations arise in the game, the answers to which are not always clear. It has been my experience that players, their Captains, match referees and commentators do not really know some of the more intricate laws. In fact, I have seen some who don’t know even some of the simplest of the Laws! This book will answer all the questions they can possibly think of, and did not know whom to ask. I have no doubt that a better understanding of the Laws can make one a better player and a better coach. In my view, every batch of cricket trainees should undergo a session or two on the Laws of Cricket where the focus can be on the laws most concerning them. They need not be put through the whole lot. Besides, every player will hang up his boots one day. The knowledge acquired through this book might kindle some interest and might lay the foundations of an umpiring career ahead. I hope this book is found to be of use. mrsingh 28.08.2021 Preface to the REVISED edition After the publication of the first Question Bank in 2022, I soon realised that there were quite a few small but embarrassing errors. In a book of this kind, on which a lot of newbie umpires relied, this was most unacceptable and, also, damaging to my reputation and credibility. Most of the errors were minor in nature, like pointing to a wrong answer option or merely typos. But, to my everlasting regret, a few were not. I owe my buyers an apology on this account. In this edition, I have, hopefully, managed to eliminate all these errors and make this a book that readers can rely upon. I have, also, added a few more questions based on recent events. And I wish my student umpires good luck in their endeavors in mastering the Laws of Cricket. M.R. Singh 1. 11. 2023

Book Description
In C. L. R. James's classic Beyond a Boundary, the sport is cricket and the scene is the colonial West Indies. Always eloquent and provocative, James--the "black Plato," (as coined by the London Times)--shows us how, in the rituals of performance and conflict on the field, we are watching not just prowess but politics and psychology at play. Part memoir of a boyhood in a black colony (by one of the founding fathers of African nationalism), part passionate celebration of an unusual and unexpected game, Beyond a Boundary raises, in a warm and witty voice, serious questions about race, class, politics, and the facts of colonial oppression. Originally published in England in 1963 and in the United States twenty years later (Pantheon, 1983), this second American edition brings back into print this prophetic statement on race and sport in society.
