Paperback

Tom Smith

Tom Smith's Cricket Umpiring and Scoring is a practical guide to understanding and applying the Laws of Cricket. First written in 1980, it became a long-running reference for umpires and scorers and went through five fully revised editions.

This 2004 edition was redesigned and updated for the 21st century. It incorporates the full 2000 Code of the Laws of Cricket together with amendments ratified by MCC and international and national cricket bodies in 2003.

Freshly drawn diagrams help explain the Laws in a practical, easy-to-follow way. The book was produced at a time when cricket bodies were seeking a more consistent international standard for umpire training, making it relevant to both formal training and everyday match use.

The guide is intended for:

• cricket umpires at all levels

• scorers and match officials

• clubs, associations and training providers

• players, coaches and volunteers

• spectators who want to understand match decisions

• students of the Laws of Cricket

Combining the Laws with practical explanation and diagrams, this edition is designed as a working reference for officiating, scoring and understanding decisions during a match.
