    Names students: 1 Lieke Hanner 2 Quinty Bemelmans 3 Robin van Vuuren RESEARCHING – ANALYSING – RELATING - REFLECTING- QUESTIONING – COMPARING – INFERRING CRICKET You must do a research in order to answer the following questions!! A. ORIGIN 1. What country is this sport from? Answer: Initially it was thought to originate from England or France but recent Australian research suggest that it originates from Belgium / Vlaanderen. 2. What countries has it spread? Answer: India, Australia, New Sealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, British West-India, South Africa, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan, Scotland, Namibia, Canada, Kenya, the United Arab Eminates and the Netherlands. 3. What are the reasons why it has reached over there and not over other places? Answer: The game initially got big in the English empire and slowly grew to other countries outside the empire. Most of the countries named above used to be English colonies in the past. When the English still ruled those countries, they also introduced crocket overthere. 4. How and why was it born? It might be due to different reasons: i.e. because of a certain necessity; as a way of life; as a means of territorial defence; as a kind of entertainment for one’s free time; etc. Answer: It started as a kids game and developed into the preferred entertainment game for the English aristocrats in the 18th century. The game of cricket evolved from a simple game whereby a player bowled a ball at a tree stump or wicket gate, and another player stopped the ball with a simple bat. A variety of similar games were played in England.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.
