the story of cricket The cricket sport can be tracked back in the 16th century however it might have originated greatly before than that. It is believed that this game was made-up by the children of the metalworking and the farming societies in Weald amid Sussex and Kent at the time of the medieval era. The written data shows that in the year 1598, a game called creckett was played at Royal Grammar School in Guildford. This is the first clear-cut mention. The game includes a bowler, a contestant from the fielding squad who bowls a very hard, fist-dimensioned ball from the area of 1 wicket towards other. The ball normally bounces one time before it reaches the batsman, a contestant from the other team. The batsman in defense plays with a bat made up of wood. In the meantime, the other players of the bowler’s squad stand in different positions in the field as the fielders. The fielders get back the ball in order to prevent the batsman from scoring runs and get him out if possible. If the batsman does not get out, they can run amid the wickets and score runs. Scores are also earned when the batsman hits for a boundary. The team which scores the maximum runs wins the cricket match. Introduction Cricket grew out of many stick and ball games played in England 500 years ago, under a variety of different rules. The word bat is an old English word that simply means stick or club. By the 17th century cricket had evolved enough to recognisable as a distinct game and it was popular enough for its fans to be fined for playing it on Sunday instead of going to church. Till the middle of 18th century bats were roughly the same shape as hockey sticks, curving towards at the bottom. There was a simple reason for this , the ball was bowled underarm, along the ground and the end of the bat gave the batsman the best chance of making contact. Our history of cricket will look first at the evolution of cricket as game in England, and discuss wider culture of physical training and athleticism of the time.

As commercial opportunities have arisen, the sport has made itself more appealing to its followers. There is evidence to suggest cricket was played, in some form as long ago as the 11th century, but it was not until 1646 when the first organised game took place for a bet of twelve candles. The Global Development of Cricket Cricket continued to develop for another hundred years or so without any standard written rules. The earliest laws of the game were formally composed in 1744. Although it would be another 43 years before any central governing body existed. In 1787 Marylebone Cricket Club (more commonly known as the MCC) was set up at Lord's Cricket Ground to protect the standard laws of cricket. The MCC was to be the international guardian of cricket for another two hundred years and it is still to this day, the copyright holder of the "Laws of Cricket". Despite its previously strong English history, the first international cricket game was between the USA and Canada in New Jersey in 1844. The MCC later adopted a policy to encourage the global development of cricket - particularly in British colonies, where the sport was becoming increasingly popular. The Global Development of Cricket The first international game played by England was not until 1877, when James Lillywhite captained a side that travelled to Australia and lost at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The event was a tremendous success and arrangements were hurriedly made for a rematch, which was won by England. This lengthy format of match (typically lasting five days) was to become "test cricket". Australia played a return match in 1882 and defeated England at the Oval. It was seen as a national shame and a mock obituary appeared in The Sporting Times the following day. It announced the death of English cricket, infamously stating "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia". This later spawned an ongoing battle between the nations for ownership of these fabled Ashes. The Global Development of Cricket Regardless of the national team's failure at that time, domestic cricket in England continued to thrive. And eventually, in 1890 the inaugural County Championship took place, comprising eight regional teams. It had expanded to fifteen teams by 1900 and with the addition of Northamptonshire (1905) and Glamorgan (1921); the competition was attracting interest across England and Wales. The county championship had no fixed setup until after the Second World War. In 1968 a format was agreed that stayed in place until the 1990s. By this time county cricket was in disarray; teams were getting into debt as crowds sharply declined. The Global Development of Cricket After the addition of an eighteenth county, a two division championship was set up to remedy the problem of diminished interest, but this did little to help the crumbling county game, which still struggles greatly as gate revenue fails to compensate for overheads. However the tale of the international game is very different. England and Australia began to play against other countries. South Africa became an official test cricket nation in 1888. West Indies, New Zealand and India followed in the years after World War One. Pakistan became a test nation when they split from India in 1947. From then on no major changes occurred in international cricket, until 1970 when South Africa were suspended for their government's policy of apartheid. The following year, a one day match was trialled between Australia and England. This form proved to be more attractive than test cricket, since then one-day-international series have regularly accompanied headlining test series between all nations. A regular World Cup now takes place every four years as a one-day-international tournament. The Global Development of Cricket In 1993 came the biggest sign of the shift in world cricket - the MCC handed over global authority to the International Cricket Council, whilst allowing the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) to handle domestic affairs. Regardless of its decline, it still holds the copyright to the Laws of Cricket. Today the ICC fully controls world cricket and the game's new power base is arguably India; a country of one billion inhabitants where cricket is the sole national sport, but growth is global; Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have all gained test status in the past quarter of a century and South Africa were reinstated in 1991. Cricket is continuing to flourish in more and more countries and with the teams choosing to employ more attractive tactics; the sport's future has never looked more prosperous than it does now.

HISTORY OF CRICKET INTRODUCTION :- The game of cricket as a known history spanning from 16th century to the present day, with international matches played since 1844 although the official history of international test cricket began in 1877. EARLY CRICKET ORIGIN:- No one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the weald, an area of dence woodland and clearings in south east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. In medieval times, the weald was populated by small farming and metal working communities it is generally belived that cricket survived as a children’sgame for many centuries. EARLY CRICKET Then it was taken up by the adults by 17 th Centuries. Its quite likely that cricket was devised by children and survived for many generation as essentially a children’s game . Adults participation is unknown before the early 17th century. Possibility cricket was derived from bowls is the older support by the intervenation of a batsman trying to stop the ball from reaching its target by hitting it away. Playing on sheep grazed land or in clearing, the original implements may have been a matted lump of sheep's wool as a ball a stick as a bat a stool ,tree trunk or a gate as a wickets. DERIVATION OF NAMES OF “CRICKET” A number of words are thought to be possible source of the term ‘cricket’. In the earliest known reference to the 1598,it was called ‘creckett’. The name may have been derived from middle Dutch krick means a stick . Another possibility source is the middle Dutch word ‘krickstoel’ , meaning a long low stool used for kneeling in church and which represents the long low wickets with two stumps used in early cricket . According to henier gilliniester a European language expert of born university , ‘cricket’ derives from the middle Dutch ‘we met the kric ket sen’(me i.e. “with the stick chase”) which also suggest a Dutch connection in the game origin . Its more likely that the terminology of cricket was based on words In South East England at time and given trade connection with the country of Flanders , especially in the 16th century when it belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy , many middle Dutch words found their way into Southern English Dialects Olden times Now a days
