Where and when did cricket and baseball appear?

It is believed that cricket was born in England in the 1719th century; in any case, it is definitely known that it was then played here. Advertisements for cricket matches were placed in newspapers in the early 1750th century. The first recorded county cricket championship was held in 20. By 56, the dimensions of the cricket field were established between the service lines - 15 meters and two-spoke gates - XNUMX centimeters high and XNUMX centimeters wide. There were no restrictions on the beat, which was very little like the modern one. Drawings of that time depict players dressed in white shirts, breeches and stockings, in a variety of headgear, however, mostly in top hats.

An important role in the history of cricket was played by the Wimbledon Club, founded in 1750. The glory of a small village in Hampshire flashed suddenly when her team defeated the rest of England. At that time, the ball was served only from below, which soon ceased to pose a threat to the defenders.

The Lords' Cricket Ground, in existence since 1781, has also played a historic role in cricket. In 1814 it was moved to its current location, where the Marylbone Cricket Club established its headquarters. This club, founded in 1788, has become a trendsetter in cricket. By the beginning of the 69th century, the final dimensions of cricket goals were established: 23,5 centimeters by 40 centimeters. Batsmen had a big advantage over bowlers (servers) until the round bat became popular in the 1864s. Top serve was not recognized until XNUMX.

International cricket began with matches in Australia in 1877, when a touring party from England was defeated by the Australian team. The first international cricket match in England was played in 1880 and, with the exception of the war years, international matches have continued ever since.

In 1907, an American commission looked into the origins of baseball, intending to put an end to the controversy on the subject once and for all. In 1908, a report she published stated that baseball was an exclusively American game, having nothing to do with any foreign game, and that Doubleday had created it.

However, some felt that this commission was not trying to really investigate the origins of baseball, but set out to prove that this is an American game. Much evidence has been collected to support this view. Here is some of them. The name "baseball" itself was used to refer to a popular English game that has been known since the 1744th century. A book published in England in 1762 and reprinted in the United States in 1787 and 1830 depicts a baseball game in which one can recognize a batsman on base, behind him a catcher (catching balls), a pitcher (serving) and two starting sites. In fact, in books published before XNUMX, there were many references not only to baseball, but also to baseball clubs.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Found the most powerful source of energy 13.11.2017

Israeli and American physicists have shown that as a result of the fusion of quarks, up to 10 times more energy is released than in the process of thermonuclear fusion.

The authors came to similar conclusions by analyzing the merger of two short-lived heavy baryons. It turned out that the birth of such particles, which occurs as a result of the fusion of lighter ones, is accompanied, like a thermonuclear reaction, by the release of a large amount of energy.

Since quarks are not observed in the free state, there are no practical applications for this yet. Meanwhile, scientists note that their work confirms that stable forms of exotic matter exist in the Universe.

Quarks form hadronic matter, in particular, the nucleons (protons and neutrons) that make up atomic nuclei. Quarks are observed in a free state, this property, called asymptotic freedom, manifests itself in an increase in the interaction force as particles move away from each other.
