HAVE YOU HEARD?

That a batsman would not be out for breaking the wicket either with his bat or person when in the act of running. That when a run has been made oft a no-ball the no-ball should be scored although the ball has been caught. That if the ball, whether struck with the bat or not, lodges in a batsman’s clothing, the ball shall become “dead.” The ball does not become “dead” on hitting the umpire. The ball ceases to be “dead” when the bowler begins his run or bowling action. That the ingoing batsman is expected to, and should, meet the outgoing batsman before he enters the pavilion. That if EITHER umpire be not satisfied of the absolute fairness of the delivery of any hall, he shall call “no ball.” That if a bowler is injured so that he cannot finish the “over” he has begun, the over should be regarded as completed. If a ball hits or passes over or through the boundary or is carried over it by the fieldsman, the umpire should call a boundary hit, but a fieldsman may lean against the boundary to catch or field a ball, and if a fieldsman when standing within the playing ground, even though he be touching the boundary, catch a ball outside the boundary the batsman should be given out.
