Cricket as Reflection of Present and Past

Cricket As A Reflection Of Past And Present: The game of cricket matured during the early phase of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. This history has made cricket a game with characteristics of both past and present. Cricket's connection with a rural past can be seen in the length of a Test match and the uncertainty about the size of a cricket ground. Even after boundaries were written into the laws of cricket, their distance from the wicket was not specified. Originally, cricket matches did not have time limit.

Modern factory work meant that people were paid by the hour or the day pr the week. That's why games like football and hockey were strictly time-limited so that time should be limited to fit the routines of industrial city life.
