History of Cricket __ "The origins of cricket are obscure, and there are several theories on how it started. One is that shepherds used to play it - one would stand in front of the wicket gate to the sheep fold, and another would bowl a stone or something at him, and he would have to hit it with his crook, which was known as a cricce."  You can find out more of the story. - sholay.com - http://www.sholay.com/cricket/history.htm
