Laws
The laws of cricket are a set of rules established by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and apply to cricket worldwide. Cricket is one of the few sports for which the governing principles are referred to as Laws rather than as Rules or Regulations. Note that regulations to supplement and/or vary the laws may be agreed for particular competitions. LBW

Leading edge
The ball hitting the front edge of the bat as opposed to its face, when playing a straight-bat shot. Often results in an easy catch for the bowler or a skier for someone else. Leave
The action of the batsman not attempting to play at the ball. They may do this by holding the bat above their body. However, there is a clause in the LBW rules making them more susceptible to getting out this way. A batsman leaving the ball may also not claim any leg byes. Left arm
A bowler who bowls the ball with their left hand is, by convention, called a left-arm or left arm bowler (rather than left hand or left-handed). (Contrast "left hand batsman".) Left-arm orthodox spin
the style of spin bowling produced by left-arm finger spin; the left-arm equivalent of off spin. Left-arm unorthodox spin
the style of spin bowling produced by left-arm wrist spin; the left-arm equivalent of leg spin. Formerly called Chinaman bowling, after Ellis Achong, a West Indian of Chinese descent, but that term is now considered derogatory. Left hand
A batsman who bats left-handed is said to be a left-hand bat. (Contrast "left arm bowler".)
Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a medication and hormone. As a medication, it is used to treat several conditions, including anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest, asthma, and superficial bleeding. Inhaled epinephrine may be used to improve the symptoms of croup. It may also be used for asthma when other treatments are not effective. It is given intravenously, by injection into a muscle, by inhalation, or by injection just under the skin.Common side effects include shakiness, anxiety, and sweating. A fast heart rate and high blood pressure may occur. Occasionally, it may result in an abnormal heart rhythm. While the safety of its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unclear, the benefits to the mother must be taken into account.Epinephrine is normally produced by both the adrenal glands and a small number of neurons in the brain, where it acts as a neurotransmitter. It plays an essential role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, heart output, pupil dilation, and blood sugar. Epinephrine does this through its effects on alpha and beta receptors. It is found in many animals and some single-celled organisms, but the medication is produced synthetically and is not harvested from animals.Jōkichi Takamine first isolated epinephrine in 1901, and it came into medical use in 1905. It is on the World Health Organizations List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a generic medication. In 2017, it was the 263rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one million prescriptions.
