Using 100 scorecards from matches between non-Test-playing nations, Real International Cricket tells the story of cricket's global evolution from 1840 to the modern day. From early adopters, to top associates; from countries where cricket's the national sport, to outposts, or countries such as Hungary and Romania, where cricket is in its infancy.
Detailed records spanning from the first international cricket match in 1844 to 2014 showcase the sport's global reach, covering over 65,000 matches and 15,000 players. This comprehensive resource fills the gap in statistics beyond Test-playing nations, including data on team scores, individual performances in batting, bowling, and fielding, as well as notable partnerships and extras. Separate analyses for multi-innings, one-day, and Twenty20 matches for both men and women are provided, along with summaries that highlight significant achievements in cricket history.
