	CRICKET
		A standard cricket ground, showing the cricket pitch (brown), close-infield (light green) within 15 yards (13.7 m) of the striking batsman, infield (medium green) inside the white 30 yard (27.4 m) circle, and outfield (dark green), with sight screens beyond the boundary at either end.
		Additionally, as in professional cricket it is common for balls to be bowled at over 90 mph (144 km/h), the game needs to be played in daylight that is good enough for a batsman to be able to see the ball.
		Cricket entered an epochal era in 1963, when English counties modified the rules to provide a variant match form that produced an expedited result: games with a restricted number of overs per side.

	CBC.ca - Athens 2004 - History: 1900 Paris
		Olympic godfather Pierre de Coubertin may well have wished the Greeks had gotten their wish, once he took stock of the fiasco his own country, France, made of the Games.
		Besides, Paris was already hosting the World's Fair in 1900, and it seemed an obvious and appealing tie-in to the IOC to stage the Olympics in the City of Light.
		Cricket, croquet, golf and tug of war all made their Olympic debuts in Paris, and were soon to exit the Olympic stage, along with one of the most curious of all Olympic events: the obstacle swimming race.

	1896 Summer Olympics
		The 1896 Summer Olympics, formally called the Games of the I Olympiad, were the first modern Summer Olympic Games and the first Games since Roman emperor Theodosius I banned the Ancient Olympic Games in AD 393 as part of the Christian campaign against paganism.

		The Lillehammer Olympics were spectacular in their spirit, originality, architecture, conscience, and, of course, the athletic competition itself.

		Thus, in 1896, tennis was on the schedule, along with soccer and cricket, although the latter two were dropped because of lack of entrants - as was rowing because of rough seas.
		The Olympics of 1900 and 1904 were folded into world fairs in Paris and St. Louis and stretched over months, not weeks, to provide diversion for fairgoers.
		That's because the International Olympic Committee had not yet adopted the criteria that currently require a sport to be played by men in at least 75 countries on four continents (or by women in 40 or more countries on three continents).

		Like I mentioned before, Cricket was once part of the Olympic roster of sports but little did I know that it was only by chance that it was included, even the Cricketers themselves weren’t aware that they were playing for the Olympics then.
		During the 1900 Paris Games, it was decided that Cricket will be part of the programme.
		Like I said, they weren’t aware that they’re playing for the Olympic gold since it was only during the year 1912 when the IOC met to come up with a definitive list as to what would consist the original events in the first five Modern Olympiads.
