When did cricket first start? 

History of Cricket When did cricket first start? It started in England, early 17th century. A team from Royal Society of Great Britain (RSA), named after Sir William Herschel who was a physicist wrote the code for the British army against the French Army (1728 - 1759).

History of Cricket When did cricket first start? It started in England, early 17th century. A team from Royal Society of Great Britain (RSA), named after Sir William Herschel who was a physicist wrote the code for the British army against the French Army (1728 - 1759). It spread rapidly in Northern India and South East Asia through European people like Indians.

 In the beginning, it was played on local grounds and not in public grounds. This means that all players had to pay their own fees from their own pocket which also increased the cost. But soon, this became very cheap because the British Government set up a limited company to run the company which meant they could increase the business with money from taxes. Eventually, when there were no such companies, each country had its own laws to follow, one of them being that anyone can become a professional player for free. Since then, many countries have followed the same format as what England used to do when starting the world's oldest sport. One rule that has been adhered to by almost every country is that only two batsmen can score at any time. And only batsmen that are playing opposite directions to each other must be able to get rid of the ball.

 One famous test match between India and Australia in 1987 - World Cup quarter finals. If something happens here then it is a big joke for the Indian fans. However, if someone gets injured, the other side wins but it creates a lot of problems for those Australian batters who are coming from behind to bat or vice versa. In the end, the winning team has lost 10 wickets while the losing team has won four wickets! Even though that was one of the best Test Matches to ever take place since I've been alive! That was 1987 against India in Mumbai when England declared themselves as winners. On his way to victory, he hit an unbeaten 19 runs before running out Steve Waugh in front of thousands of screaming fans. Then after he scored another five sixes to make it 7-0 he was bowled out for 56 off 43 balls (17th Test, 9th Innings). After scoring another nine he ran onto his stumps from where he was caught for 29. So that made me think "That guy got some good shots." That man sure did! Well then he's probably not going to be playing next year anymore because it's actually difficult to get a new Test Player into the team, and even then, you're not allowed to go back and play again so if he runs out he has to wait until April 27 for his debut back in the side and even then he might get called up for something else! We'll see.

 So how does cricket get about to start again and how will it change the way we view things now? Well that's where I have a few suggestions for you to use. Some say, just watch England vs Scotland on Sky Sports and pick apart the opposition. Others say, stick to your favourite teams and you just might need to look elsewhere. My personal opinion on this said you should really pick one team to win and don't care who the opponent is! You want a team that only plays fast bowling and who can also bat well but who isn't afraid of making mistakes, and who don't get too much help either. With both these suggestions I hope you have a better understanding of why cricket doesn't mean anything anymore! Okay, the idea that I just mentioned is really interesting and I couldn't agree more with it. For years, most of us would go out to watch football matches or even watch TV instead of watching cricket at home.

 Nowadays, we all know that watching television comes on first thing in the morning and we are expected to enjoy our day of TV shows and movies that are on quite frequently. From that perspective, I am glad cricket isn't at all like that. Especially when you see kids and teenagers watching cricket matches and seeing cricket videos on YouTube and seeing the number crunchers that are popping up! These kinds of things I believe has helped improve my life immensely and that I still enjoy watching cricket matches as a part of that experience. At least, now that I know how much we love cricket there would never be a moment where I wouldn't enjoy watching it. Just remember, we will get over this all quickly enough if we learn to adapt.
