Download or read book How to Play Cricket written by George M. Newhall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Cricket: A Manual for American Cricketers Now that we have a Cricketers' Association of the United States, some action should be taken looking to an improvement of the laws of cricket; or, if not that, to an authoritative interpreta tion of those at present accepted. We learn in the play of cricket, and from written treatises always English in their source - that the revision of the laws of cricket made in 1870 by the Marylebone Club of London, although an improvement on that previously made, is not what it should be, and that the laws as they now stand are very defective. Our brethren of the cricket field on the other side of the Atlantic seem to be nothing if not conservative, so that although the defective ness of the present code is fully admitted, the leading club stands fast by its love of 1870, and no revision has to this time been made.

The Learn to Play... sports books are ideal for reluctant readers who enjoy sports because they will engage their interest and provide enjoyable reading practice. They are also ideal for the non-athletic student who wants to understand the rules and skills involved in a new sport before getting out on the field or court. An hour or so with one of these books will provide your child with the basic information required to get out there and play a new sport with confidence and there is ample information to satisfy the sports enthusiast. As a teacher, I have often found that the reluctant beginner, who feels a degree of comfort often uncovers an unsuspected skill and interest in a sport, leading to a new and exciting hobby, and another way of staying fit and having fun. The Learn to Play sports series is a great resource for libraries and your players to refer to as needed. It's like a handbook for the game and provides a variety of resources that can be dipped into, not necessarily in order. Coaches and PE teachers will find it a valuable resource to stimulate wider interest in the game and to provide homework and instruction throughout a season.
