The Original Laws of Cricket by Mike Atherton
Of all the rules governing sport, the laws of cricket are among the oldest. Those of 1744 survive uniquely on a piece of linen at the MCC Museum of Cricket, drawn up when gambling on cricket matches was rife. The story of the evolution of these laws and how they affected the game is a fascinating and seldom told chapter in the history of cricket.
Michael Rundell is a noted expert on the history of cricket and is the author of The Oxford Dictionary of Cricket (London, 1995) and The Wisden Dictionary of Cricket (London, 2007).
