(PHYSICAL EDUCATION)
SUBJECT TEACHER : POONAM MAM
I would like to express my special thanks to my
subject teacher who gave me the golden
opportunity to do this wonderful project of
physical education on the topic “Cricket”.
It is more likely that the terminology of cricket was based on words in use in south-east
England at the time and, given trade connections with the County of Flanders, especially
in the 15th century when it belonged to the Duchy of Burgundy, many Middle Dutch[9]
words found their way into southern English dialects.[10]
John Derrick was a pupil at the Royal Grammar School, then the Free School, in Guildford when he and his
friends played cricket circa 1550
A 1597 (Old Style - 1598 New Style) court case in England concerning an ownership
dispute over a plot of common land in Guildford, Surrey mentions the game of
creckett. A 59-year-old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school
friends had played creckett on the site fifty years earlier when they attended the
Free School. Derrick's account proves beyond reasonable doubt that the
game was being played in Surrey circa 1550, and is the earliest universally accepted
reference to the game.[4][5]
The first reference to cricket being played as an adult sport was in 1611, when two
men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to
church.[6] In the same year, a dictionary defined cricket as a boys' game and
this suggests that adult participation was a recent development.[4

The umpire role in cricket
In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere
meaning not a peer, i.e. not a member of one of the
teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority
to make decisions about events on the cricket field,
according to the Laws of Cricket. Besides making
decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for
wickets and general conduct of the game in a legal
manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the
deliveries and announces the completion of an over.
Run Out – Cricket rules state that a batsman is out if no part of his bat
or body is grounded behind the popping crease while the ball is in play
and the wicket is fairly put down by the fielding side.
The fielding team is not allowed to change the field on the free
hit ball, if the same batsman (who received the original no-ball)
is on strike. However, for safety reasons, if the wicketkeeper is
standing up at the stumps he is allowed to move back to a more
traditional position.
