Ice cricket is a variant of the English summer cricket game, but it is played in harsh winter conditions. Early forms of ice cricket were played outdoors and in skating. The difference in the form of ice cricket is that some play directly on the ice without a mat. The results are a little more unpredictable and provide more fun and diversity. In modern form, athletes don't wear skates.

 

Cricket on ice was played in England from at least the first half of the 19th century. A game was played in Sheffield in 1826. A match was played on the ice near Sheffield a few days ago, in skates, in which several of the Sheffield Club wore engaged. 토토 Through one of the bats breaking the double wickets were struck, and the day was concluded with a well contested single wicket game.

 

Cricket Match Extraordinary.— The splendid piece of water on Erridge Park has been a grand scene of attraction for the last few weeks to the visitors and inhabitants of Tonbridge Wells. The surface covers an area of about twenty-one acres, and consequently gives a fine opportunity for scientific skating. We have noticed as many as from 100 to 200 at a time forming various figures on the ice. A cricket match was played on the ice by Messrs. E. Vanx, 33; J. Clapson, 1; T. Russell, 29; Duffy, 9, not out; A, Glover, 0; W.Loof, 1; J. J. Hastings and W. Friend; byes, 12; total 85; against —T.Neal, 14; J. Trice, 16; R. Clapson, 1; J. Taylor, 17; T.Seamer, 7; G.Bourne, 10, Beale.0; and J.Gurr, 12; byes, 17; total,84. The bowling of Mr. J. Clapson excited general admiration, as well as that of Messrs. Vaux and Seamer.

 

The stumps were fixed in two blocks of wood, and all the gentlemen played in skates; the ball when struck flew with great swiftness over the ice, the parties running or rather skating between the wickets, and those who were looking out skating after the ball. The whole presented a most lively and interesting scene. The latter evolutions were attended with many of those minor accidents peculiar to the slippery game, much to the amusement of the numerous spectators; we are happy, however, to say that none were materially hurt. The game was a single innings. Mr. Vaux obtained thirty-three runs and was not oot; his batting was very superior, as was also that of Mr. Thomas Neal. There were upwards of a hundred ladies and gentlemen on the ice at one time, among whom we noticed the Right Hon. 

 

 

In modern games, the ball is the same as an indoor cricket ball and is a synthetic plastic red ball that can be found relatively easily even if hit by a snow pile. St Moritz's Cricket on Ice is an amazing experience that attracts cricket lovers (some international players, some high-flight entrepreneurs) from around the world. The event offers the team the opportunity to participate in the most prestigious annual event on the Swiss cricket calendar in an atmosphere of fun and sporting brilliance.

 

It also provides the business with a very unique platform for communications, networking and, of course, business. Your team and your brand will shine in the special environment of mountains, sun and sports. Saint Moritz, a picturesque Swiss resort, is famous for the beauty of ski slopes and the adrenaline rush of Crestarun. But few sporting events can beat the February Cricket Festival on the ice and snow of a frozen lake due to its sheer eccentricity.
