A player who was considered as Lord Of Cricket, a player who loves to encourage the young generation, a player who was magnificent example of his generation, a player from which cricketing shots started, a player whose straight drive is one of the favorite short of cricketing fans,a player who is the most worshiped cricketer in the world,a player who was adroit of sportsmanship, a player who scored Hundred of Centuries in all formats of cricket,a player who was never castigated,and criticized by cricketing fans,a player who was first to score double century in One-Day International cricket, a Legend whom every bowler loves to bowl.

History Of Cricket

Cricket in 19th Century 

Cricket history is particularly murky and vague as to the exact origins of the game, it is believed to have been born in England in the late middle ages.

Cricket is one of the oldest games in the world and it continues to thrive today. The game is said to have originated in the 16th century with international matches being played since 1844. There is really no official documentation as to when Cricket started or even where it started. Much of the information that has been piece together has state that Cricket was a game that was thought up in the Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weal, this is a thick area of woos an clearings in the South East area of England that is across Kent an Sussex.

Cricket started out as a child's game but the adult version of the game was said to have started in the 17th century. Some speculate that Cricket is a take off of a games called Bowls or lawn bowling with the slight variation that a bat is use to keep the ball from reaching the target almost similar to baseball. The basic tools use to play Cricket were thought to be matte lump of sheep's wool to be use as the ball and a stick, crook or farm too was use as the bat.

The very first mention of the games was in a 1598 court case where ownership of a plot of land was being contested in Surrey. An older man ha testified that he and his friends has played a game called creckett on the land over 50 years prior when they attended school there. In 1611, was the first time that an adult had mentioned playing the game rather than attending a church mass. Since then there has been many mentioned of the game in the English Civil War and then after the war ended a new Puritan Government had put a stop to more active sports like Cricket and Football.

Cricket began to grow after the Restoration of 1660 and this is when the game first attracted gamblers to the game. In 1664, the Gaming Act was passed and it put a limit on the stakes of a game to 100 pounds. By the end of the 17th century Cricket was a game that was batted on daily. In the 17th Century, North America was introduced to the game through the English Colonies. By the 18th century it had passed through other parts of the world.

Today, Cricket is still a major sport that still attracts players, spectators and even media interest as well. The ICC or the International Cricket Conference has over time expanded the development of the game and it hopes to produce more national teams that are capable of competing at the Test-level. In June of 2001, the ICC has brought the Test Championship Table and in October 2002, the One Day International Championship Table was introduced.
