Where did Cricket Originate?
Cricket
is an
old English game. It used to be played with curved bats and
no wickets in
1300s. But by early 19th century, the game was played quite like the
way it is
played now. There are two ends of the wicket. Distance between the
wickets is 22
yards (20 metres). Each end has a set of three wickets,
each wicket's height is 28 inches and they are placed at the width of nine inches. Cricket
originated in
India during British rule.
The ball
weighs between 51/2 to
53/4 ounces
and the bat is about 41/4
inches wide.
English settlers spread
the game
wherever they colonized
and it is
now an international game.
The cricket
'World Cup' is played
after every
four years.
