The Spirit of The Game

 

KMCC

PLAY TO WIN

BUT

REMEMBER THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CRICKET

 

The Spirit of the Game involves respect for:

 

Your opponents

Your own Captain and team

The role of the umpires

The game’s traditional values

 

It is against the Spirit of the game:

 

To dispute an umpires decision by word, action or gesture

To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire

To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance:

 

To appeal knowing that the batsman is not out.

To advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing.

To seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistant clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side.

 

There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play

 

Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match.

 

We expect every player to make an important contribution to this
