The game of cricket is the second most popular game in the world, second only to soccer. As far back as the 1300s a mention of the game "creag" is found.
*****
In 1598 there was a written record of a game called "creckett" or "crickett". This may be the first recorded mention of the game played today.

In the year 1798 the "Laws of Cricket" were born. The Laws were written by the Marylebone Cricket Club. Except for some minor revisions, these laws are still adhered to in present day cricket.

Cricket is the only sport today that has laws instead of rules.
