Methodology
LexiSport provides plain-English guidance on cricket laws for umpires, scorers, and officials. We cite law numbers, note format differences (Test/ODI/T20), and flag when local playing conditions may override MCC laws.
Sources and citations
- MCC Laws of Cricket (2017 Code, updates included) for law numbers and definitions.
- Competition playing conditions (white-ball formats, local leagues) where available.
- Expert review with active umpires in Australia to validate scenarios.
How answers are produced
- Retrieve relevant law text and prior similar scenarios.
- Generate a concise, conservative answer with explicit law citations.
- Highlight format differences and note “Playing conditions may vary.”
Safety and limitations
- We do not replace umpire judgment or match referee decisions.
- We are not affiliated with MCC/ICC; citations are for reference.
- Local playing conditions may override MCC laws; always confirm on the day.
Update cadence
- Monitor MCC law updates and major competition playing conditions quarterly.
- Collect feedback from officials after match use; incorporate corrections.
