History of Cricket

CRIC has carried out words for the employees of Shepard's addictive. This may have been the first cricket bat. Cricket in its infancy in England was considered a children's game, not played seriously by adults.

In 1598, there was a written record of a game called "creckett" or "cricket". This is the first mention of the game played today. In 1611, cricket has become a game for adults. As illegal and immoral, two men for the game, instead of going to church were arrested. Further arrests were made that the game gained popularity.

At the end of the English Civil War in 1648, suppressed the new government cricket entertainment that played on Sunday. In these days of cricket was played mainly by the working class and on Sunday was the only way to play. The interest in the sport seemed to diminish. During the year, cricket again popularity as a betting game again. In 1688 the government had gone to the Puritan England and the monarchy was reinstated. Cricket has again funded by the government and some respectability. There were still major problems in the world of cricket though. Sports Betting and rioting marred the game. Around the year 1784, when a London judge Cricket "respectable," although there are still problems with paris.

Finally, in 1788, which were "Laws of Cricket" was born. The laws of the Marylebone Cricket Club were written. Except for minor changes, these laws are still respected in cricket day. One notable change was in 1864 when it was used on the bowling arm the first time legally. Cricket is the only sport today that has laws instead of rules. attract even more seriousness in the late 1700s, cricket was the set of "gentlemen." The Laws of Cricket were used to play in England and the United States. They covered the length of the height, the distance between the fold pitch bowling crease, wicket size and weight ball.

The cricket fields were leveled and maintained in the 1800s. Up to this point, the fields were rough and uneven. South Africa and Australia have started playing cricket seriously during this period. In 1844 the first international cricket match was in the U.S. state of New York, United States played. This game was played between the U.S. and Canada. Later, in 1877, England went to Australia for the first international test match. The game was played in Melbourne, Australia. The Australians won the match goes to 45th

A few years later, in 1882, England beat Australia again. It was a close game with Australia won by 8 runs. This prompted an English writer to publish an obituary for English cricket. The obituary, he declared "dead". He went on to say that the body is cremated and the ashes would be spread across Australia. The next summer England played another series against Australia. This was stated by the press as an attempt English called "recover the ashes." A small trophy was filled with ash and the British captain. To date, all test matches between England and Australia are to be played "for the ashes."

In 1900 cricket was his first appearance, and only at the Olympic Games. The match was between France and Great Britain. Most French players came from the British Embassy in France, so most of the time the British players have played the game. England won the game and the gold medal. Today there is a renewed interest in cricket is a game Olympics.

The ICC was founded in 1909. The Imperial Cricket Conference was formed to govern the laws of cricket. The ICC is now known as International Cricket Conference. The establishment of the ICC were England, South Africa and Australia.

The years 1932 and 1933 saw the laws of cricket to be tightened. The English players threw the ball short and sharp Australian batting in an attempt to intimidate. England won the series, but still bad feelings between Australian and English players, because this series exist.

Play in the 1960s, some English teams began a shortened version of cricket, a game that allows one day end. Until that time, the average cricket match could be up to five days. Some fans and players, this shortened form of cricket is an insult to the game, so it was not widely accepted by the fans of traditional cricket. The first match one-day international was played in Melbourne, Australia in 1971. This game prompted the ICC to "World Cup Cricket" to play every four years to organize. These games are strictly one-day matches.

In 1981 the ICC banned underarm bowling after a match between New Zealand and Australia. Australian captain Greg Chappell ordered his brother Trevor to use the technique of bowling underarm to stop New Zealand to win a game. Greg actions angered prompted many in the cricketing community change.

Today cricket remains beloved sport. Some young men in Australia and England grow up hoping to one day "play in the ashes." It is a sport that is steeped in tradition and its loyal fans. Although the history of cricket has sometimes been rocky, it is a solid sports around for years to come.
