Marylebone Cricket Club
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) is a cricket club founded in 1787 and based since 1814 at Lord's Cricket Ground, which it owns, in St John's Wood, London. The club was formerly the governing body of cricket retaining considerable global influence. In 1788, the MCC took responsibility for the laws of cricket, issuing a revised version that year. Changes to these Laws are now determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), but the copyright is still owned by MCC. When the ICC was established in 1909, it was administered by the secretary of the MCC, and the president of MCC automatically assumed the chairmanship of ICC until 1989.

Life and career Born in Newick, Sussex, Langridge was an all-rounder who played first-class cricket for almost thirty years. James Langridge – always called by his forename to distinguish him from his younger brother, Sussex opening batsman John Langridge – was a middle-order left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm spin bowler.
