HOW IS IT PLAYED?

Field
Like all sports whose origin is ancient, cricket has undergone many changes over the centuries Pakistan super league 2018 fixture. Thus, wickets (goals) have not always existed. In the past, we used to dig two holes in the grass and draw, in front of each hole, a line 1,30 m apart. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the wickets were introduced (complex construction consisting of three stakes on which are placed, in equilibrium, two small bars). The first precise rules of the game were codified in 1744.

The cricket ground is a large lawn of 150 m by 170 m and has two wickets. A referee stands near each of them. A wicket, whose total width is 23 cm, consists of three stakes driven into the ground, the height of which must not exceed 71 cm. Wooden sticks are placed on the stakes, witnesses whose fall indicates that the wicket was hit. The wickets, planted opposite each other, are separated by a distance of 20 m; this area constitutes the actual play area. At 1.30 m in front of each wicket, and parallel to it, is a line marking the boundary of what is called the "drummer's field".

A SOCIAL CLASS STORY

Unlike many English sports like rugby, cricket is hardly appreciated outside British lands. Until the sixteenth century, this discipline was practiced by the popular and despised classes of the rich. From the middle of the 17th century, the aristocracy was interested in maintaining relations with the rest of the population and increasing its prestige. The lords used as gamekeepers or grooms people who were first and foremost excellent cricketers and formed their team. Around 1820, sport had two versions: a cricket for the upper middle classes who practiced it in its country estates or in clubs from which the representatives of the popular class were excluded; and a cricket for the petty bourgeoisie. The latter introduced the professionalism that lasted until 1870. The "cricket test", a series of national matches between England and the countries of the British Empire, was organized.
