1000 years of history of English cricket
Embedded in English culture is a love of sports and Creator of all kinds. I was born a few miles of the oldest cricket club in the world – Hambledon Cricket Club in Hampshire, England ..
I have a website where I have the linked list the 100 + various sports and games created by us British.
Our National Game Cricket summer is thought to be first played about 1,000 years ago in the villages of English in an area of England called The Weald on the border of Sussex and Kent. The game was played by children for hundreds of years before the adults played the game. Your home is lost in the mists of history, but bat hitting games played in Saxon England before the Norman Conquest.
There are stories that the villagers played against the villagers of village greens throughout our history, even today. There's nothing like a warm, sunny day in summer, with the sound of leather (The ball) hit willow (The Bat) in a village in English.
What is agreed is that by Tudor times cricket had evolved enough-ball club to be recognized as the game played today, which was well established in many parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, in a few years had become a feature of free time in a significant number of schools, and – a sure sign of the wide acceptance of any game – which had become quite popular among young men to earn the disapproval of local magistrates.
