Community Umpiring Technique Guidelines

Umpiring becomes consistent and effective when essential umpiring skills are applied on match day. This resource has been developed to provide guidance to umpires on what common skills are required to manage a game of cricket. When applied across all the Australian Cricket States & Territories, umpires are able to develop a consistent skillset without hindering an individual’s ‘style’ or character they bring to umpiring.

The Laws of Cricket

Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket. The Laws of Cricket clearly explain the expectations of how the game is governed. Visit the MCC Laws of Cricket to learn more. ​
