1993: England beat New Zealand in the Women's World Cup Final

The fifth Women’s World Cup was the second to be held in England. It very nearly didn’t happen at all. Had it not been for a last minute grant of £90,000 from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, the tournament would probably have been cancelled. With women’s cricket still...

2019: England beat New Zealand to win the Men's World Cup

England really should have had a head start when it came to World Cup cricket. The first ever limited overs tournament was the Gillette Cup, played in England in 1963, and it was the end of the decade before the rest of the world began to follow its example. Only 18 One-Day ...

1998: The Women's Ashes are created in a ceremony in the Harris Garden

2001: Richie Benaud delivers the first MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture

Cricket’s rise as a popular sport in the 18 th century left little room for the spirit of the game. It was a vehicle for serious gambling and match-fixing, with intimidation and outright cheating far from unknown. But by the beginning of the 19 th century this was beginnin...

2016: Pakistan's Misbal-ul-Haq scores a maiden Lord's century aged 42

The reaction of most batsmen to reaching a Test Match century is usually quite predictable. A handshake with their batting partner, a raising of the bat to acknowledge the applause of the crowd and his teammates. When Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq reached his tenth Test hun...
