First-class Cricket
First-class cricket, along with List A cricket and Twenty20 cricket, is one of the highest-standard forms of cricket. A first-class match is of three or more days scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each, although in practice a team might play only one innings or none at all. The etymology of "first-class cricket" is unknown, but the term was used loosely before it acquired official status in 1895, following a meeting of leading English clubs. At a meeting of the International Cricket Council, Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC) in 1947, it was formally defined on a global basis. A significant omission of the ICC ruling was any attempt to define first-class cricket retrospectively.

The Star (Christchurch)
''The Star'' is a newspaper published in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was published daily from 1868 to 1991. It became the ''Christchurch Star-Sun'' in June 1935 after merging with a rival newspaper, ''The Sun'', and at the time it ceased daily publication in 1991 it was known as ''The Christchurch Star''. It later became a free newspaper, published twice a week (on Wednesdays and Fridays) until 2016, then once a week (on Thursdays) since 2016. History The ''Star'' was first published on 14 May 1868 as the evening edition of the '' Lyttelton Times''.

During the Great Depression, rationalisation and competition led ''The Star'' to lower its price from 2 d to 1d in November 1934, prompting other Christchurch dailies to follow suit. This price proved financially unsustainable and ''The Star'' ...
