Cricket and Victorian England
Cricket and Victorian England: The organisation of cricket in England reflected the nature of English Society. The rich, who could afford to play it for pleasure, were called amateurs and the poor, who played it for a living, were called professionals. The wages of professionals were paid by patronage or subscription or gate money.
Gentlemen and the Players: The game was seasonal and it did not offer employment for the whole year. Thus, professionals worked as miners or in other forms of working class employment.
Introduction of Cricket to Boys School: It is often said that the 'Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton'. It means that Britain's military success was based on the values taught to school boys in its public schools.
Sports for Girls: Till the end of the 19th century, sports and vigorous exercise for girls were not a part of their education in Britain. Croquet which was a slow-pace, elegant game considered suitable for women, especially of the upper class. By the 1890s, schools began acquiring playgrounds and allowing girls to play some of the games which were earlier considered as male games.
