different from the bats used previously.

gave the batsmen the best chance of
making contact as the ball was thrown
underarm.

7.  The first ever international cricket game was between
the USA and Canada in 1844. The match was played at the
grounds of the St George's Cricket Club in New York.
 In 1859, a team of leading English professionals set off to
North America on the first-ever overseas tour and, in 1862,
the first English team toured Australia.
 Between May and October 1868, a team of Australian
Aborigines toured England in what was the first Australian
cricket team to travel overseas.
 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, arguably the
most famous match of all time gave rise to The
Ashes. South Africa became the third Test nation in 1889.

9. 20TH CENTURY CRICKET

10.  Sid Barnes, traps Lala Amarnath lbw in the first official
Test between Australia and India at the MCG in 1948
 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. The international game grew
with several "affiliate nations" getting involved and, in the
closing years of the 20th century, three of those became
Test nations also: Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.
 Test cricket remained the sport's highest level of standard
throughout the 20th century but it had its problems,
notably in the infamous "Bodyline Series" of 1932–33
when Douglas Jardine's England used so-called "leg theory"
to try and neutralise the run-scoring brilliance of
Australia's Don Bradman

11. 21ST CENTURY CRICKET

12. Cricket has developed from a game played only by English noblemen and aristocrats to a sport
played and watched by millions in India, Pakistan, Australia and the West Indies. The origins of
the game may be disputed, but the popularity of the game was created and promoted through
the British Empire in the early 20th century. Most of the other cricket-playing nations were
former colonies of the British Empire and, according to the British Broadcasting Corporation,
"The former colonies still take great pleasure in beating England at their own game."

23. TOP 10 GREATEST CRICKET
PLAYERS OF ALL TIME

24. widely acknowledged as the greatest Test batsman of all
time. Bradman’s career Test batting average of 99.94 is
often cited as statistically the greatest achievement by any
sportsman in any major sport. During a 20-year playing
career, Bradman consistently scored at a level that made
him, in the words of former Australia captain Bill Woodfull,
“worth three batsmen to Australia”.

25. In 2002, Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack ranked him the
second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Don
Bradman, and the second greatest one-day-international
(ODI) batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. Tendulkar
was a part of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian
team in the later part of his career. Almost Every Batting
Record Belong To Sechi Tendulkar.

26. Widely considered one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders.
Originally playing mainly as a bowler, he was soon promoted
up the batting order. Against Pakistan in 1958, Sobers scored
his maiden Test century, progressing to 365 not out and
establishing a new record for the highest individual score in
an innings, which was not broken until Brian Lara scored 375
in 1994. he is surly one of the finest Crickete of all time.

27. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time,
especially in the ODI format of the game. Richards was voted one of
the five Cricketers of the Century in 2000, by a 100-member panel
of experts, along with Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir
Jack Hobbs and Shane Warne. In December 2002, he was chosen by
Wisden as the greatest ODI batsman of all time, as well as the third
greatest Test batsman of all time, after Sir Don Bradman and Sachin
Tendulkar. Well deserved Best Cricketer in ODI history.

28. He was Pakistan’s most successful cricket captain, leading his
country to victory at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, playing for
the Pakistani cricket team from 1971 to 1992, and serving as its
captain intermittently throughout 1982–1992. With 3807 runs
and 362 wickets in Test cricket, he is one of eight world
cricketers to have achieved an ‘All-rounder’s Triple’ in Test
matches. On 14 July 2010, Khan was inducted into the ICC
Cricket Hall of Fame.

29.  Kallis is regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders ever. As
of 2013 he was the only cricketer in the history of the game to
score more than 11,000 runs and 250 wickets in both one-day
and Test match cricket. From October to December 2007 he
scored five centuries in four Test Matches; with his century in
the second innings of the third test against India in January
2011, his 40th in all, he moved past Ricky Ponting to become
the second-highest scorer of Test centuries, behind only Sachin
Tendulkar with 51.

30. Murali rated as the greatest Test match bowler ever by Wisden Cricketers’
Almanack in 2002. He retired from Test cricket in 2010, registering his
800th and final wicket on 22 July 2010 from his final ball in his last Test
match. Muralitharan took the wicket of Gautam Gambhir on 5 February
2009 in Colombo to surpass Wasim Akram’s ODI record of 501 wickets. He became
the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket when he overtook the previous
record-holder Shane Warne on 3 December 2007.

31. He is widely acknowledged as one of the supreme batsman of his era, and one of the
finest ever to have graced the game. He holds several cricketing records, including the
record for the highest individual score in first-class cricket, with 501 not out. Lara also
holds the record for the highest individual score in a test innings after scoring 400 not
out against England at Antigua in 2004. He is the only batsman to have ever scored a
hundred, a double century, a triple century, a quadruple century and a quintuple century in
first class games over the course of a senior career.

32. Widely regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the game. In 2000, he was selected by
a panel of cricket experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century, the only specialist
bowler selected in the quintet and the only one still playing at the time. Warne played his first Test
match in 1992, and took over 1000 international wickets (in Tests and One-Day Internationals), second
to this milestone after Sri Lanka’s Muttiah Muralitharan.

33. Akram is regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers in the history of cricket. He holds the
world record for most wickets in List A cricket with 881 and is second only to Sri
Lankan off-spin bowler, Muttiah Muralitharan in terms of ODI wickets with 502. He is
considered to be one of the founders and perhaps the finest exponent of reverse swing
bowling. Akram had a very special talent to move the ball both ways in one delivery
which is called “double swing of Wasim Akram”. No one in cricket history has done it so
far.
