Where can I find out about the rules of cricket?

Wisden Cricketer's Almanack, published annually for the last 133 years, is a mine of information about cricket and the year's season. It also contains a summary of the rules of the game - known as 'the Laws of Cricket' and is published by:

Merrow, Guildford,
Surrey GU1 2PY
Tel: (00 44) 1483 570 358

The MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club), which was responsible for cricket throughout the world from the late 18th century to 1968, still remains the official 'guardian' of the Laws of Cricket. A copy may be obtained from:
