DOI: http://doi.org/10.36295/ASRO.2020.231738 1. Introduction: Cricket as a game has evolved as an intense competition after its invention in early 17th century. Truth be told, a progression of Codes of Law has administered this game for more than 250 years. Much the same as baseball (which could be called cricket's cousin in light of their likenesses), cricket's fundamental element is the technique in question and that is the primary motivation behind why cricket fans love the game to such an extent.

  • Chelmsford Cricket Club Report for 26 & 27 May It Was a Pretty Woeful
    Chelmsford Cricket Club Report for 26 & 27 May It was a pretty woeful weekend for Chelmsford as four games out of seven were lost with just one win and two draws. There were a couple of outstanding individual displays, Keith Goodman taking seven for 27 in the fourths and Phil Arnold hitting an unbeaten 134 in the fifths. The Saturday first and second teams both lost in close contests with Brentwood. The first team finished 13 runs short of Brentwood’s 214 and the seconds lost out by 2 wickets. A fine spell from Tom Craddock (4-17) set Brentwood back after Walford (51) and Hammond (75) had set up a good position. The Chelmsford chase came up just short despite 62 from Nick Prowting and useful contributions from Chris Prowting, Matt Thurston and Nisarg Patel. Osborne (3-24) did most damage with Jones (2-32) picking up a couple of crucial wickets. The second team found themselves in trouble when they lost three early wickets. Jack Sterland (68) and David Thrift (38) steadied the ship but the loss of Sterland and two quick run outs set progress back again. It took a good innings from Ollie Devenish (37) to get the score to 201. At 148 for two, Brentwood were cruising but when Boon (71) and Cocklin (76) were parted panic set in and six wickets went for 18 runs with Craig Thompson (4-46) and Devenish doing the damage. Brentwood’s ninth wicket pair held their nerve and saw their team home. When the third team’s two under 14 stars Ben Clifford (4-33) and Aaron Beard (3-25) helped shoot Fives & Heronians out for 119, a second win of the season seemed on.
