Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Cricket can look impenetrable from an American sports culture. Its vocabulary is unfamiliar, its matches range from an evening to five days, and its rules are often explained through traditions newcomers were never taught.This revised guide begins with the game's history, then explains the field, scoring, formats, and strategy. Its central section gives a practical account of all forty-two MCC Laws, based on the 2017 Code, fourth edition (2026), while distinguishing the universal Laws from competition playing conditions.James Allister Odd approaches cricket as a student of the game whose curiosity began in family papers connected with an English cricket-bat business. The result is a source-conscious invitation to understand cricket in its own terms.
