Could you tell me any good book/website about the history of Cricket laws (why bending arm in bowling is illegal, etc)?

BBC - Test Match Special

I've had the lecture a thousand times thanks. Seriously theres a massive article on the history of the rules somewhere, and even if only 70% of it is correct you will still learn a massive amount

Wikipedia is generally reliable. History of cricket laws info doesn't need a peer review.

Ironically, wikipedia is perhaps the poster boy for peer review. It's just that you can't trust your own peers in a non-professional setting.

Sometimes professional too. #heartbleed

Wikipedia is great for stealing citations.

Could you tell me the average age of retirement of good Batsmen?
ICC should establish a new annual prize "Ten Dollar Carl Trophy" for the best Batsman of the year.

I'm afraid, Loko, that all the evidence suggests that we can't tell you anything at all.

I am not going to do any calculations on stats guru for you - but would say the mode is 31.

Some of the very good batsman go past 35 but you said good batsman.

The current World Cup format should be changed to that of the WCL.
Every team meets twice, on the Home & Away format. Away team has the right to choose batting first or fielding first.

T20 - 0.54
ODI - 2.6
First class - 3.5

 

[Lokomotiv]

T20 - 0.54
ODI - 2.6
First class - 3.5

Thank you. So, how Cricket would change if a new law "maiden out" was introduced?

1. Games would be over more quickly.
2. The game would be ****ter.

There are no advantages to it.

Bowlers would change approach to concentrate on run containment at the expense of planning wicket taking plays.
Batsmen would adapt and dilute the principle of playing the ball on its merit.
In-ring fielders would gain more prominence.
Slips would be in danger of becoming extinct.
Test cricket would be in danger of resembling the boring middle overs of ODI cricket.
