    Is Cricket a Global Game?


    Cricket is a bat-and-ball kind of game that is played between two teams, 11 players in each
    of them. The field has an oval shape and in the center there is rectangular 22-yard long
    pitch. In the game process, one team bats and tries to score runs, the more, the better,
    while the second team fields and bowls, and attempts to dismiss the batsmen and limit runs
    received by the first team. Teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of innings.
    The history of cricket started in the 16th century in England. The first written evidence
    dates back to 1598. Then it was called creckett. There are many facts that make it clear
    that cricket was actively developing in the 17thcentury, and by its end it became an organized
    activity that was played for high stakes. In the next century it became the national sport of
    England. Since then it gained recognition and today there are fans around the world and
    matches gather lots of people who are dedicated to this game.
    This game has several peculiarities that make it very appealing to people. First of all, it is
    interesting that there are laws that players have to abide to, but also there is the Spirit of the
    Game, which is no less important. Besides, the fields for cricket are unique and vary
    considerably in shape and size. There are many other peculiarities that make this sport
    interesting and unique for many people, as everyone can find something interesting in it for
    themselves. Today the International Cricket Council has 104 members, which proves the
    point.
    In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when
    innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added.The first ever
    international cricket game was between the USA and Canada in 1844.
    In 1877, an England touring team in Australia played two matches against full Australian XIs
    that are now regarded as the inaugural Test matches. The following year, the Australians
    toured England for the first time and were a spectacular success. No Tests were played on
    that tour but more soon followed and, at The Oval in 1882.When the Imperial Cricket
    Conference (as it was originally called) was founded in 1909, only England, Australia and
    South Africa were members. India, West Indies and New Zealand became Test nations
    before the Second World War and Pakistan soon afterwards. Cricket remains a major world
    sport in terms of participants, spectators and media interest.

    The ICC has expanded its development program with the goal of producing more national
    teams capable of competing at Test level. Development efforts are focused on African and
    Asian nations; and on the United States. In 2004, the ICC Intercontinental Cup brought firstclass cricket to 12 nations, mostly for the first time.
    In June 2001, the ICC introduced a "Test Championship Table" and, in October 2002, a
    "One-day International Championship Table". Australia has consistently topped both these
    tables in the 2000s.

    Cricket is much developed than the olden days.In olden days cricket bat is like a hockey
    stick but now it is completely changed.And olden days cricket is played in villages but now
    cricket is played in grounds.Test,twenty-twenty and one day internationals are the three
    formats of cricket.
