Cricket and the Law

Cricket law and the meaning of life. In a readable informed and absorbing discussion of cricketâs defining controversies â bodyline chucking ball-tampering sledging walking and the use of technology among many others â David Fraser explores the ambiguities of law and social order in cricket. Cricket and the Law charts the interrelationship between cricket and legal theory â between the law of the game and the law of our lives â and demonstrates how cricketâs cultural conventions can escape the confines of the game to carry far broader social meanings. This engaging study will be enjoyed by lawyers students of culture and cricket lovers everywhere. . Language: English
