Question

what changes have occurred in the game of cricket in the second half of 18th century when the mcc revised the cricket laws

Answer 1

The changes which were brought in the game of cricket by the MCC’s

revision of the laws during the second half of the 18th century are as

follows:

1) It became common to pitch the ball through the air, rather than

roll it along the ground.

2) It also opened new possibilities for spin and swing. In response,

batsmen had to master timing and shot selection.

3) The curved bat was replaced with the straight one. All this raised

the premium on skill and reduced the influence of rough ground

and brute force.

Answer 2

1. It became common to pitch the ball through the air.
2. The weight of the ball was limited to 51/2 to 53/4 ounces.

5. The exact circumference of the ball was specified.
6. Protective equipment like pads, helmets, etc. was provided.
7. Boundaries were introduced.
8. Over-arm bowling became legal.
