This is a good one and is not widely known.

Cricket in the Olympics – 1990

Cricket was played only in the 1990 Olympics in Athens. After that, the game was never played in the Olympics.

I like this one because I can understand why it was only in once considering how long a game can take. But maybe a shortened version could be invented?

The cricket was originally not as we know it today, I change the design in 1775, when an English player named Lumpy Stevens was able to launch three consecutive balls between the stumps. In fact, initially there were only two strains, after this episode it was decided to move on to three.

Cricket is a sport which comes from England and is only played in countries which were owned or colo from the English.
Also it was highly a child games adoped by Gentelman which didn´t want to do sport at all.

Do you want to know how much we german know about cricket?

Nothing, None. nada. 0%
It is not running in the TV and nobody cares so this is sport exclusively for English people and poeple whic were owned by English.

Yes, my words are not 100% correct but you get the message.

If you country was "stolen" by English you will 100% play cricket in your Country.

A funny anecdote about Cricket is about a match, the longest ever. It was in 1939 where the England team was competing against South Africa. The match lasted 12 days and ended with neither team winning. The match ended because England had to catch the ship back home.
