These rules are good for a laugh, something I must admit I wouldn't normally associate with cricket. :lol: John Leamington Spa, England I thought you might have seen this before Don as you’re a cricket referee and will have seen all sorts of variations on the rules.

Seems I'm a little late in the day on this thread but only just found it. Wish I'd seen something like this in my local pub, would've gone on our website straight away - great find and post! Haha, that’s brilliant!

It's on a plaque on the wall at our Cricket Association headquarters. Basically it is correct, but it fails to make mention of the other two who are out for the entire match and only get in at breaks (the Umpires). And there are another two who remain in at all times, scribble on paper and occasionally wave to the two who are out (the Scorers). Cricket is the excuse you give for drinking with your mates after the game. It also has a medicinal quality to take away the aches and pains. Don Thanks John,

You sure there's nothing in the rules about alcohol? I actually played once at a childhood birthday party. Not sure what we did, but I swung a wood bat at a ball. Close enough to baseball for me!!! Have a Great Day, Mike Hi John,
