Fact Find | Cricket

Cricket is a sport that originated in south-east England in the 16th century. Cricket quickly developed into a global sport. Cricket is played with a bat, ball and wicket. The game has two competing sides.

In 1611 a dictionary defined cricket to be a boys sport. The first recorded cricket game was played in 1646. In 1997 women's world cup, Belinda Clark hit a double ton and made unbeaten 229 against Denmark.

Some of the ways to get out in cricket are: Hitting the wicket (when the batsman hits the wicket), getting bowled (when the bowler hits the wicket with the ball), run-out (when the fielder uses the ball to shift the bails) and more.
