John Nyren is describing the glories of the Hambledon Club in their match ' All ' ' i in 1772 wrote:" '

Unfortunately betting rose to fantastic sums in the South of Eng- land so that at one match. these with side bets among players and spectators, totalled 21.000. pounds. The game became the chief med- ium for national gambling and was In great danger of ruin. Book- makers attended matches and cal- led odds as the fortunes of the sides fluctuated: this led to bribery and cheating. During this period. Miss Milfored. an ardent supporter of the game wrote:

This Indicates that cricket had been played during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1. The cricket club used at that time was a crooked stick. The boys who play- ed never dreamed their crude game of bat and ball would eve- lop into the national game of d. and become highly repre- sentative of her national char- acter. Cricket waa a popular game and widely known before the Civil War. Oliver Cromwell, the leader. who established the Com- monwealth, was accused in a dia- tribe by Sir William Dugdale of being a "roysterer who had spent a "dissolute youth" playing at "cricket and football". The Com- monwealth, however. discoura, d amusements of all kinds, including cricket, which was "undesirable on all days but damned on the Lord's Day". With the coming of the Restoration under Charles 11. games were enthusiastically re-

the commons became a regular battle ground for cricketers-

Cricket was a game of the com- mon people. and one reason that it survived the dangers of gambling and corruption was that in many villages. particularly in the north of England, It was played for no other reason than the pure enjoy- ment of the game. These games often had local rules, and differed from cricket as played today. For instance in Yorkshire and Durham they used their milking stools- "crlccies" laid on their sides. for wickets. These happened to be of the same dimensions as the orig- inal wickets in use before the Lon- don Club lssued ther first rules in 1744.

There were many contrasts bet- ween cricket as played in the north and south of England in the 18th
