  • A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One
    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

The weather was wild and windy, but fortunately the rain stayed away for a while. The children were running round, Lanchester Brass Band was playing a lovely mixture of carols and traditional music, and as the church clock struck six, the countdown began - always an exciting moment. Then, suddenly, the green was transformed as the coloured lights on the Christmas Tree and the white lights on the other trees were illuminated. The beautiful lights on the green shine out to welcome residents and visitors at Christmas time continued on page 4 The children who switched on the Christmas Lights: Ellie Crowe and Liam Smith (EP School) and Joseph Massey-Allen and Rebecca Draper (All Saints School) with their selection Braving the strong wind, Friends boxes presented by Ossie Johnson at the buffet after the of the Fort were the special guests switch-on ceremony at the switch-on ceremony A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our readers The Village Voice Page 1 THE Dear VILLAGE IT'S ALL Village....

What some commentators have called the ‘Indianization’ of cricket extends beyond business: it is a social, political, and cultural phenomenon. For five seasons, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has offered a glimpse of this phenomenon, prompting enthusiasm from young fans and those who stand to profit from the new league, and resistance from traditionalists. This paper discusses the material and symbolic roles the IPL has come to play in global cricket. It begins with an overview of the IPL’s history, discusses how the IPL is changing the global business of cricket, and explores how the IPL is challenging the traditional culture of the sport. The paper concludes with arguments about the IPL as a grand spectacle, and a cultural phenomenon that, despite its problems, might prove its critics wrong. Throughout, the paper treats the IPL as a useful case study not only in the business of sports, but also more widely in our theoretical and empirical studies of globalization. Keywords Economics of sports, globalization, India, Indian Premier League, sociology of sports Cricket is an Indian game, accidentally discovered by the British.
