The sport of cricket has a known history beginning in the late 16th century. Cricket originated in south-east England. Cricket was prominent in London as early as 1707 and, in the middle years of the century, large crowds flocked to matches on the Artillery Ground in Finsbury. It became the country's national sport in the 18th century. The single wicket form of the sport attracted huge crowds and wagers to match, its popularity continuing throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It has since developed a global following.
