History : Cricket and Victorian England

Cricket, and hence English amateur cricket, probably began in England during the medieval period but the earliest known reference concerns the game being played c.1550 by children on a plot of land at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, Surrey.[1] It is generally believed that cricket was originally a children's game as it is not until the beginning of the 17th century that reports can be found of adult participation
Pro Cricket was a professional cricket league in the United States. It was operated by American Pro Cricket LLC (APC), a private company independent of the ICC and the USACA.

The league was formed in 2004 as one of several independent efforts by different organizations to develop and promote cricket in the United States. APC originally announced that it was fully funded for at least three years of competition, but the league struggled through in its initial season due to poor attendance. Also, a deal to televise games on Dish Network apparently fell through. [1] The league quietly expired after the 2004 season. (0:10 - 5:45)
