ABOUT THE BOOK After the encouraging success of the first book based on the 2017 Code (2nd edn 2019), the author presents this book which incorporates the changes made by the MCC in the 3rd edn 2022. For ease of understanding, these changes are marked in red throughout the book, accompanied by suitable notes & explanations. The original Laws of Cricket are generally seen as presenting quite a challenge for any reader, what with the ‘legalese’ and the long, complex sentences, and the use of several cross-references. ‘The Laws of Cricket – Simplified’, is written for the aspiring young umpire, the schoolgirl/boy, the casual cricketer, the club cricketer, the cricket commentator - even the armchair expert - whose interest in the game might arouse within him/her a desire to pick up a copy of the official Laws of Cricket, and who might be somewhat flummoxed by the intricacies of the Laws. This is an effort to help the lay reader understand the Law, by simplifying the language used and breaking up long sentences. The book is embellished with illustrations, charts & tables in order to break up the more complex Laws for easier understanding. The simplification of the Laws is somewhat limited by my desire to keep its basic structure the same to enable easier look-up in the original Laws in case it is desired. It is hoped that the serious learner might, also, find this book useful, especially the accompanying charts & tables.
