Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This version of the Laws of Cricket - Simplified is based on the 2nd edn 2019 of the 2017 Code of the MCC Laws of Cricket. A new version.written by this author, based on the 3rd edn 2022 is, also, available on Google Playbook. Though the MCC has issued a 3rd edn 2022 which is to come into effect worldwide on 1st Oct 2022, the BCCI, the controlling body for Cricket in India has decided to continue using the 2017 Code 2nd edn 2019 during the cricket season 2022-23. You will find this book useful if your home Board has not yet migrated to the new version (3rd edn 2022) of the MCC Laws. I am making available this version as an eBook since umpires & cricketers will continue to find this book helpful for understanding the Laws during the coming season, till your home board adopts the new laws. ABOUT THIS BOOK Ever since the 2000 code of the Laws of Cricket was released, and I taught the same at the MCA entrance level, I have felt that the Laws of Cricket have been drafted in a manner that acommon lay person will be able to comprehend without the guidance of a tutor. The Laws of Cricket, in its present form, is inundated with many cross-references that might, in my view, make the lay reader, the schoolboy; the club cricketer; the budding umpire, shy away from the study of the Laws of Cricket, should he happen to pick up a Law book. I shudder to think how those, whose first or second language is not English, cope with this. With a view to making the Laws of Cricket easily understandable for just these persons, who are at the grassroots of the game, I set about writing this book. This book is based on the 2017 Code, 2nd edition 2019 of the Laws of Cricket. To help in understanding some of the more complex of the Laws, which, at places, have a statement of law & exceptions to it, and exceptions to exceptions, and with cross-references to cross-references, I have included a few charts / tables to help break down some of the more complex Laws into smaller and more easily digestible morsels. Since I have always found it useful to do so, I have highlighted, by underlining, and making bold, certain key phrases and keywords in the Laws, which help the learner to understand it better. Also, certain alerts are provided in the margins, to draw the attention of the reader to critical rules. My efforts are to make the Laws of Cricket more user-friendly. This book does not seek to replace the official Laws of Cricket, the copyright for which is owned by the governing body for the Laws of Cricket, the Marylebone Cricket Club, but to help spread it wider and to penetrate to the grassroots. For any dispute or further study, a reference should be made to the original Laws of Cricket. Though this has made the rephrasing or paraphrasing of the Laws infinitely more difficult, I have retained the original numbering of clauses & sub-clauses, so that the reader can go to the relevant clause in the original Laws of Cricket as and when needed. I recommend that the student-reader have a copy of the ‘Blue-book’ ready when reading my book. I hope the students of the game will find this book useful as also will anyone preparing for an umpiring test at any level. It will be my pleasure to answer any query on the Laws of Cricket sent to [email protected] M. R. Singh

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, incorporates the amendment made by the MCC on 19.01.2023 Some content is revised as of 24.05.2023, basically, highlighting some aspects. IMPORTANT - Added a table on page A70. 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.

Download or read book REVISED QUESTION BANK ON THE LAWS OF CRICKET written by M. R. Singh and published by M. R. Singh. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport: Law and Practice, Fourth Edition is the leading legal title covering sports law and practice in the UK, and at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. It serves both as a comprehensive statement of applicable law and precedent, and as a very practical guide to circumnavigating a complex sector. The new edition retains and updates all of the key chapters from previous editions, including the extended sections on challenges to the actions of sports governing bodies, and on anti-doping regulation and enforcement (with an introduction to the new 2021 World Anti-Doping Code). There are important updates to the chapters on Regulating Financial Fair Play, Misconduct, Safeguarding in Sport, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and Media Rights and Sport. The Fourth Edition also adds brand new chapters dealing with: -Effective sports regulation (including the first ever comprehensive discussions of the 'general principles of law' applied by CAS panels in determining challenges to sports regulations, as well as of the principles of interpretation of sports regulations). -Best practice in sports governance (describing developments such as the strengthening of the competence and independence of boards and the emergence of independent integrity units). -Data protection law and sport (including discussion of the provisions of the Data Protection Act 2018 that facilitate the sharing of personal data by sports bodies for integrity-related purposes). -Exploiting commercially valuable sports data (explaining how sports rights-holders can fashion commercial agreements to meet the demand for sports data from the betting industry and others). -ESports (the first comprehensive treatment of the legal and practical principles underlying the regulation and commercial exploitation of the increasingly important ESports sector). Readers will also benefit from practice tips, precedent clauses, detailed explanations of key practical issues, and step-by-step analysis. This is an essential title for all sports law practitioners (solicitors and barristers, common law and civil lawyers), sports governing bodies, event organisers, clubs, participants, sports agencies and commercial partners, arbitrators, universities, and students.

Download or read book The Rules of Backyard Cricket written by Jock Serong and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It starts in a suburban backyard with Darren Keefe and his older brother, sons of a fierce and gutsy single mother. The endless glow of summer, the bottomless fury of contest. All the love and hatred in two small bodies poured into the rules of a made-up game. Darren has two big talents: cricket and trouble. No surprise that he becomes an Australian sporting star of the bad-boy variety—one of those men who’s always got away with things and just keeps getting. Until the day we meet him, middle aged, in the boot of a car. Gagged, cable-tied, a bullet in his knee. Everything pointing towards a shallow grave. The Rules of Backyard Cricket is a novel of suspense in the tradition of Peter Temple’s Truth. With glorious writing harnessed to a gripping narrative, it observes celebrity, masculinity—humanity—with clear-eyed lyricism and exhilarating narrative drive. Jock Serong’s first novel, Quota, won the 2015 Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction. The Rules of Backyard Cricket was shortlisted for the 2017 Victorian Premier’s Award for Fiction, and was a finalist in the 2017 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Awards and the 2017 Indie Book Awards. On the Java Ridge won the Colin Roderick Award and the international Staunch Book Prize in 2018. Jock lives with his family on Victoria’s far west coast. ‘The Rules of Backyard Cricket by Jock Serong, while classified as ‘crime’, is a compelling literary novel dissecting toxic sporting culture and its fallout.’ Paddy O’Reilly, Australian Book Review, 2016 Books of the Year ‘The Rules of Backyard Cricket got the thumbs up from everyone.’ Favourite Fiction for 2016, Avenue Bookstore ‘My favourite reading experience of the year (and I don’t even like cricket).’ Heather Taylor Johnson, Sydney Morning Herald’s Year in Reading ‘Blow me down if I didn’t hang on every word.’ Clare Wright, Best Books of 2016, Australian ‘One of the great novels written about sport...Delicious. It’s the top read of the summer.’ Stuff NZ ‘A deeply interesting novel about sibling rivalry, family, masculinity, and the game of cricket...Serong is a talented storyteller, and he brings this unusual world to life.’ Booklist ‘Merges my childhood dreamscape of hot days and sporting ambition with a page-turning thriller set within the rot of professional sport. Beautifully Melbourne. Get on it!’ Tony Wilson ‘Readers who have fallen in love with Australian mysteries, thrillers and crime novels have a whole world to discover with fantastic authors bringing the southern hemisphere to life...As in the UK, cricket is a national passion in Australia and Jock Serong delves into the murky world of professional sportsmen.’ Jane Harper, Daily Mail

Download or read book Tom Smith s Cricket Umpiring And Scoring written by Tom Smith and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Smith first wrote his guide for umpires and scorers in 1980. Since then, his indispensable guide has gone through six fully-revised editions. The 'new' Tom Smith is the first to be fully redesigned and updated for the 21st century. Its publication coincides with international recognition that there should be one universal standard for the training of umpires whatever country they operate in. The 'new' Tom Smith incorporates the full 2000 Code of the Laws of Cricket with subsequent amendments as ratified by the MCC and international and national cricket bodies. The freshly drawn diagrams are easy to follow and will be of value not only to umpires and scorers, but to all lovers of the game of cricket. As Richie Benaud, the great Australian cricketer and commentator, has said, he never goes without his copy of 'Tom Smith'. Nor should any spectator who wishes to feel fully qualified in discussing the application of the Laws of Cricket to the game. David Lloyd says, 'Tom Smith is just as valuable a piece of kit as Hawkeye, Snicko and Hotspot in the Sky Sports commentary box, its interpretation of the Laws of the game is the first thing we turn to regarding decisions. it's a "must-have" alongside the Laws of cricket.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new theory of leadership drawn from elite captains throughout sports—named one of the best business books of the year by CNBC, The New York Times, Forbes, strategy+business, The Globe and Mail, and Sports Illustrated “The book taught me that there’s no cookie-cutter way to lead. Leading is not just what Hollywood tells you. It’s not the big pregame speech. It’s how you carry yourself every day, how you treat the people around you, who you are as a person.”—Mitchell Trubisky, quarterback, Chicago Bears Now featuring analysis of the five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and their captain, Tom Brady The seventeen most dominant teams in sports history had one thing in common: Each employed the same type of captain—a singular leader with an unconventional set of skills and tendencies. Drawing on original interviews with athletes, general managers, coaches, and team-building experts, Sam Walker identifies the seven core qualities of the Captain Class—from extreme doggedness and emotional control to tactical aggression and the courage to stand apart. Told through riveting accounts of pressure-soaked moments in sports history, The Captain Class will challenge your assumptions of what inspired leadership looks like. Praise for The Captain Class “Wildly entertaining and thought-provoking . . . makes you reexamine long-held beliefs about leadership and the glue that binds winning teams together.”—Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, Chicago Cubs “If you care about leadership, talent development, or the art of competition, you need to read this immediately.”—Daniel Coyle, author of The Culture Code “The insights in this book are tremendous.”—Bob Myers, general manager, Golden State Warriors “An awesome book . . . I find myself relating a lot to its portrayal of the out-of the-norm leader.”—Carli Lloyd, co-captain, U.S. Soccer Women’s National Team “A great read . . . Sam Walker used data and a systems approach to reach some original and unconventional conclusions about the kinds of leaders that foster enduring success. Most business and leadership books lapse into clichés. This one is fresh.”—Jeff Immelt, chairman and former CEO, General Electric “I can’t tell you how much I loved The Captain Class. It identifies something many people who’ve been around successful teams have felt but were never able to articulate. It has deeply affected my thoughts around how we build our culture.”—Derek Falvey, chief baseball officer, Minnesota Twins
