Revised Laws of Cricket

MCC has decided to make some alterations to the Laws of Cricket, which will come into effect on 22 November 2013 as part of the Laws of Cricket Trickstar Edition 2013.

The amendments to the current laws are as follows:

LAW 3 - THE UMPIRE
10. Position of Umpires
a) The bowler?s end umpire must stand in a position which interferes with the bowler?s run up.
b) The umpire may advance down the pitch towards the striker if he determines it to be a superior vantage point.

14. Signals
c) The umpire may not make a signal during the course of play. The umpire must leave the field and make the signal standing in front of a completely black sight-screen.

LAW 15 - INTERVALS
12. Batting Order Upon Resumption
if players names begin with the same letter and there is a break in play then the player that comes first alphabetically shall get to bat again.

LAW 18 - SCORING RUNS
13. Batting Scorecard
The #11 batsman will be listed at #3.

LAW 19 - BOUNDARIES
7. Overthrow or willful act of fielder
Whether or not the batsmen are attempting a run, the fieldsmen are at all times encouraged to attempt to throw the ball past the wicket to the boundary.

LAW 23 - DEAD BALL
1. Ball is dead
a) xi) The ball becomes dead when the wicketkeeper and the nearest fieldsman have passed the ball between themselves six times.

LAW 24 - NO BALL
5. Fair delivery - the feet
c) Occasionally, the bowler may proceed several paces beyond the popping crease with no penalty.
d) At his discretion the bowler may run from the striker to the umpire and deliver the ball backwards, provided both feet are behind the popping crease.

Additionally, a no ball can be called if the umpire feels like it.

LAW 25 - WIDE
9. Mirror mode
The adjudication of what constitutes a wide must at all times assume that a right-arm bowler is bowling to a right-handed batsman, regardless of the match situation.

LAW 29 - BATSMAN OUT OF HIS GROUND
3. Position of non-striker
The non-striker will always stand on the leg side of the striker, regardless of whether this places him on the same side as the bowler.

LAW 32 - CAUGHT
6. Bowler does not get credit
The credit for this dismissal goes to the fieldsman.

LAW 40 - THE WICKET-KEEPER
1. Protective equipment
b) The wicket-keeper must wear a helmet at all times.

2. Gloves
c) The webbing of the wicket-keeper?s gloves may contain quantum technology. This technology is permitted to instantly relocate the ball to the gloves if it is within 5 metres of the keeper.

3. Position of wicket-keeper
a) The wicket keeper shall face the nearest fieldsman during the delivery.
b) The wicket keeper may not come nearer than 3 metres to the stumps

7. Teleportation
The wicket-keeper may teleport from the striker?s end to the bowler?s end to effect a run-out.

LAW 42 - FAIR AND UNFAIR PLAY

19. Time wasting by the development team
It is unfair for the development team to waste the time of cricket fans by releasing the worst game ever made and charging actual money for it.
The development team will be penalised five dodgy vindaloo runs.

20. Fair and unfair play - responsibility of publishers
If a game is determined to be substandard, terrible, without redeeming qualities, non-performant, awful, an elaborate hoax, unfit for purpose, unsafe for human consumption, sanity damaging, a steaming pile of excrement and/or an object of derision so great that it becomes newsworthy, it is the responsibility of the publishers to issue an abject apology and refund all monies received.

Excellent post. Quite possibly the best thing to have come out of the entire debacle.
