	Melbourne
		Melbourne had been mentioned as having played against South Yarra in 1858, but it was the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) that played the scratch matches between other teams, organised on the day of the games, by the captain and Melbourne Cricket Club Secretary in 1857-58, Tom Wills.
		In the clubs early years, it was not allowed to play matches on the Melbourne Cricket Ground because the MCC thought that football would cause to much damage to the ground.
		Melbourne’s form slipped in 1895 when the media claimed they were over trained and that their performances picked up " when the majority of them (players) had practically ceased to train".

	Silchartoday :: Melbourn Cricket Club, Melbourn Cricket Ground
		The club's principal public role, however, remains the progressive management and development of one of the country's greatest assets - the Melbourne Cricket Ground - a stadium which shares a unique relationship with its local community and boasts a rare magnetism in attracting visitors from all corners of the globe.
		Management of the ground is vested in the MCC by the government-appointed MCG Trust and an Act of Parliament guarantees the club's occupation of about 20 per cent of the stadium for its Members Reserve.
		The keenness of Melburnians to belong to their cricket club and retain membership, usually for life, has been a major factor in enabling the club to develop the stadium, until the early nineties, almost exclusively through the use of members' funds.

	Singapore Cricket Club, Singapore - AAZ Regional Marketing - CountryClubs.Com
		The Singapore Cricket Club was established in 1852 and is today one of the premier sports and social clubs in the Country.
		Cricket was played on the Padang as early as 1837, only 18 years after Sir Stamford Raffles founded the settlement of Singapore in 1819, but it was not until 1852 that the first meetings were called to discuss the formal establishment of a cricket club.
		Although the future of the Club looked grim during the 1960s, because of declining membership, financial difficulties and the possibility of government action, it survived (largely because of the sterling work of Club President Andrew Gilmour, after whom the Gilmour Room is named), and during the 1970s and 1980s it began to prosper once more.

	Inside Cricket
		The Melbourne Cricket Club was founded in November 1838 when the population of the Port Phillip District was only about 2000.
		An MCC sub-committee chose the third because "the situation was quite as level as desirable yet afforded sufficient slope that without interfering with the game would ensure its always being free from floods".
		Since MCC was a private Club it could not receive public funds, so it set up a Cricket Council as the governing body of cricket and the Test and County Cricket Board to administer the professional game.

		"Kingston Cricket Club, I think, is recognising the fact that this is 2004 and that we are moving on and times change and we must move with the times," Ziadie said at the club's annual awards dinner to loud applause from club members and guests, including wives and female friends.
