The history of the game of cricket exists from the 16th century to the present day, with international matches played after 1844, although international Test cricket officially began in 1877. From this time the game was originally developed in England, which is now played professionally in most Commonwealth countries. Cricket is born in a foreign land but it is the most loved game currently in India. Many young talents are spotting the places in the National teams.
Origin of Cricket :
It is known that cricket began in the 21st century, based on circumstantial evidence that the children of Weald began the game during the time of Saxon or Norman, in the south-east of England. Did in the jungles which is adjacent to Kent and Sussex. In the medieval period, the Weald was inhabited by small farming and metalworking communities. Cricket existed as a children's game for many centuries, before being introduced by adults around the beginning of the 17th century.
Cricket is the most wonderful game!
It is possible that cricket was discovered by children and existed as an essential game of children for many generations. The involvement of adults is unknown prior to the 17th century. Cricket was probably produced by a wooden ball, an old game, made by the batsman stopping the ball and hitting it hard to reach his goal.
It was played on the sheep pasture or on its banks, in the form of a ball of sheep's wool shells (small shells of stone or tangled ones); Rods or shoots or other agricultural implements in the form of bats and stools or tree stumps (eg. wicket gate) [1], etc. were the basic tools of this game.
Where did the cricket come from?
In the first known reference to cricket in 1598, cricket was called Creckett. The name is believed to be derived from the Middle Dutch crick (-a), meaning stick or is derived from Old English crick or cryke which means baisakhi or sticks. Also in Samuel Johnson's English Dictionary (1755) he describes the etymology of cricket as "cryke, saxon, a stick". Another possible source of cricket in history is also known by the Dutch middle word krikstol, which means a long, light stool, which was used to kneel in church. Its shape was similar to the two stumps used in early cricket.
Etymology of "Cricket" Name
Many words are considered to be potential sources of the term cricket, which can refer to bat or wicket. French, in old, is a type of the word criquet club that probably gave its name croquet. Some people consider cricket and croquet to be of the same origin. In Flemish (Flemish), krick (e) means a stick and older. In English, it means cricc or cryce crutches or staff (although this high "k" sound points to the north or northeast midlands rather than the southeast, where cricket has probably originated).
Alternatively, criquet apparently comes from the same Flemish word in French as krickstoel, which means a short and long stool on which to kneel in the church. It looks like a long nichty wicket with two stamps or a stoolball of a preceding stool.
The word stool was used in ancient times to mean the wicket of a tree, but in ancient times the stool ball stool (milking-stool) has been used as a wicket.
First Definite Reference
Despite several earlier suggested references, the first definitive reference to the game is found in a 1597 court case concerning a dispute over the ownership of a plot of school. A 59-year-old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school friends had kreckett at this place fifty years earlier. Had played The accounts of Royal Grammar School, Guildford (Royal Grammar School, Guildford) and Mr. Derrick prove undoubtedly that the game was being played in Surrey c.1550.
The first reference occurred in 1611 as an adult game, when two men in Sussex were arrested for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to church.
In the same year, a dictionary defined cricket as a child's play which proves that adult participation in cricket has taken place recently.
Early Seventeenth Century
There are many references to the English Civil War which indicate that this adult game was played between parish teams, but until this time there is no firm evidence in terms of county teams. Equally, there is only evidence of the quality of the 18th century game of uncontrolled small gambling.
It is generally known that by the middle of the 17th century, "village cricket" had developed. But county cricket was not started nor invested in the game.
Commonwealth
After the Civil War ended in 1648, the new Puritan government-controlled sports such as "illegal assemblies", particularly over-the-top football. Their laws were earlier required to be more stringently followed even on holiday Demand. The popularity of the cricket Commonwealth.
Occurred during the day because vacation was only available as free time for the lower classes, public-fee schools such as Winchester and St Paul's have allowed it to flourish.
There is no real evidence that Oliver Cromwell's rule Cricket was banned during the period and there is evidence that it was acceptable to the officials during the interregnum provided that the Sabbath was not violated.
Gambling and Press Coverage
Cricket certainly flourished after the Restoration in 1660 and is believed to have attracted the first big bet gamblers. The "Natural" Parliament passed a gambling act in 18 that limited bets to £ 100 and by the end of the 17th-century cricket had certainly become an important gambling sport. We know of a "great match", the match was played in Sussex in 1697 with a back of 11 speeches and a high stakes of 50 guineas.
Our knowledge of this game was further enhanced because last year freedom of the press was provided, due to which cricket information was published in newspapers. But the extensive space in newspapers provided this game after a long time.
During the first half of the 18th century, the press focused on reports of bets in exchange for games.
Eighteenth-Century Cricket - Protection and Players
Gambling received the first patron as some of the jurors strengthened their claim by becoming their team, thus the first "county team" was formed after the resettlement. The county's name was first used for the team in this game in 1709, but there is doubt that there was such a brochure arrangement before. In 1697 the matches were well done versus Sussex.
The earliest mentors mentioned were groups of aristocrats and merchants in 1725. Their greater activism led to press coverage very regularly. Among these were Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond.
Cricket moves out of England
Cricket reached North America through the English colonies in the 17th century, perhaps before it reached the north of England. It reached other parts of the world in the 18th century. It was started by the colonists in the West Indies and in India. The first half of this century by sailors of the British East India Company coincided with the commencement of colonization in 1788, as did Australia.
New Zealand and South Africa arrived in the early years of the 19th century.
Development of Law
The basic rules of cricket such as bat and ball, wicket, pitch dimensions, overs, modes of outs, etc. have existed since time immemorial. In 1728, certain codes were first prescribed in the form of an "article of agreement" for a particular sport which later became a general specie, particularly in the awarding of gambling games and payment of money. In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and amendments were made in 1774 after innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width.
According to these laws, 'the principal shall elect two such gentlemen as umpires who shall decide all disputes''. This code was established by the so-called "Star and Garter Club" whose members eventually settled in 1787.
Established MCC on Lord's. In this way the MCC was established as the guardian of the law and later undertook periodic amendments and re-codifications.
Continued Expansion in England
The game spread throughout England, and in 1751, Yorkshire was mentioned as the first site. Originally bowling (ie ball rolling bowls (ie bowls) with the ground) such as bowls were stopped after 1760 when bowlers began to study the pitch, line, length, and speed of the ball.
The regular basis from Scorecards 1772 But the picture of the development of the game became increasingly clear from that time.
Great Players and World Cricket Information
Speaking of the great players in world cricket, Don Bradman's name is among the first. Sir Don Bradman of Australia was a great player. In addition to these, great players like Viv Richard, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, Wasim Akram, Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, Allan Border also brought glory to cricket. Previously there were 4 balls in one on cricket. Later he threw 5 balls and then 8 balls. The 6 balls in one plus rule were implemented in 1947.
There are many rules in cricket that will be discussed in another knowledge post. Cricket has three format tests, ODI, T20.
