The 1835 English cricket season was the ninth of the roundarm era.note status Any match listed in the ACS' Important Match Guide (1981) is historically important, and therefore of the highest standard, whether or not a scorecard might exist. The same applies to numerous matches discovered by researchers since 1981.ACS 1981 1–40 For further information, see First-class cricket. Powerless to prevent the use of roundarm bowling, MCC finally amended the Laws of Cricket to make it legal.
The relevant part of the Law stated: if the hand be above the shoulder in the delivery, the umpire must call "No Ball". Bowlers’ hands now started to go above the shoulder and the 1835 Law had to be reinforced in 1845 by removing benefit of the doubt from the bowler in the matter of his hand's height when delivering the ball. The Laws were also changed to enforce a compulsory follow on if the team batting second was 100 runs behind on first innings.
