Law 41-The Fielder-Cricket Rules 1. Personal protective equipmentNo fielder, save the wicket-keeper, may use gloves or external leg protectors. Furthermore, hand or finger protection may be worn only with the permission of the umpires. 2. Taking a catch The fielders must not obstruct the batsman while he is running between the wickets. They can, however, move into position while the batsman is still some distance from the crease. They then have the right to take the ball away from him if they think it will help them make a catch. A fielder cannot take more than one ball from the bat at a time unless he has the consent of the on-field umpire. In addition to the rules above, there are also guidelines that apply to all cricketers when playing cricket. These include things such as: not to run beyond your own capacity, not to throw your arms about in an effort to get rid of the ball, and so on. If you understand these rules and follow them yourself, then there should be no problem with other people doing the same. As long as you aren't being disruptive or annoying, others should be able to enjoy the game just like you do. However, if you do find that other people are taking the sport too seriously, then perhaps it is time to look at their attitude instead.
