Ever since we took up the responsibility of bringing you quizzes on new and exciting topics, we have often heard people say “I am interested in that topic, but I know nothing about it. Where should I start? What do I read?” These are the questions that are frequently thrown at us by curious minds.
It is with an aim to answer these questions, that we at Quiz Club have come up with the idea of PRIMERS. A Primer is a document containing a set of facts or information about a specific topic like Sports, Science, Music, Art, Literature etc, presented in a crisp and concise manner. Simply put, someone having minimal knowledge in a topic, can pick up the Primer related to that topic and develop a general overview regarding it. Such is the human brain, that once something piques your interest, there is almost an impulsion to know more. We merely seek to provide the jump start.
Our first Primer, is the Sports Primer, containing a collection of facts about various sports and sporting events, some famous, some infamous. Read through it to gain a small but interesting idea about the world of sports.
Cricket is a world famous game. The ICC (International Cricket Council) is the world’s
governing organization for cricket. The ICC supervises and administers the game on
behalf of its 108 members, and collaborates with them to promote the sport. It was
brought to North America via the English colonies as early as the 17th century, and it
spread to other regions of the world in the 18th century. Colonists introduced it to the
West Indies, while the British introduced it to India.
fact about Starting 3 Full members of ICC:-
Australia :- In March 1892, representatives from the state associations of New South
Wales, South Australia, and Victoria formed the Australasian Cricket Council, which
became the first central administrative organization for cricket in Australia.
Seven years later, the Council was abolished, and the Australian Board of Control for
International Cricket was founded in 1905. Its inaugural meeting was attended by two
members from New South Wales and two representatives from Victoria. Later that year,
a delegate from Queensland attended its second conference, and its constitution was
revised in 1906 to legally allow for one representation from Queensland and three
representatives each from New South Wales, South
Tasmania was allowed one delegate beginning in 1907, while Western Australian
participation began in 1913. The only other modifications to the number of delegates
granted by the states occurred in 1914 and 1974, when Queensland and Western
Australia boosted their participation to two each.
In 1973, the body was renamed the Australian Cricket Board, and on July 1, 2003, it
became Cricket Australia.
England :- The game of cricket’s beginnings are lost in the mists of antiquity. In the
household records of Edward I in 1300, there is a reference to a game similar to cricket
being played in Kent.
The English game appears to have started in the sheep-rearing area of the South East,
where the short grass of the downland pastures allowed for the bowling of a ball of wool
or rags towards a target. The wicket-gate of the sheep pasture was generally the target,
which was defended with a bat shaped like a shepherd’s crooked staff.
The game was extremely popular as a rough agricultural amusement by the 17th
century, but the leisure classes took up the activity in the next century, notably in
Sussex, Kent, and London. In 1730, an organised match was conducted at the Artillery
Grounds in Finsbury, London. Cricket was played at every level of society by the middle
of the 18th century, from village greens to opulent estates. The game, however, lacked
a consistent set of rules.
In the 1760s, Hambledon, Hampshire, saw the formation of the earliest and most
prominent cricket club in the country. The club was supported by affluent benefactors,
but the players were mostly local traders and farmers. The Hambledon club devised
batting and bowling skills that are still used today, and Hambledon is known as the
“Birthplace Cricket” in history book
