Cricket Rules.
As cricket gained popularity in England, many clubs were formed and various ways of playing were tried out. Initially, the bowler always sent the ball to the batsman under-arm. About 150 years ago, a young lady was trying to bowl for her brother. Her long, stiff, hooped crinoline skirt made it difficult for her to bowl under-arm. So she began to swing her arm backwards and upwards, throwing the ball from above her head. Now, all cricketers bowl over-arm instead of under-arm.
