Suffolk County Cricket Teams
Suffolk county cricket teams were the cricket teams that represented the historic county of Suffolk before the first official formation of Suffolk County Cricket Club in 1864. The earliest known reference to cricket in Suffolk is from 1743 and the first mention of a Suffolk representative team is in 1764, with Suffolk playing against Norfolk at Bury St Edmunds racecourse on 23 August. Norfolk won this match, which was reported in the '' Gazetteer & London Daily Advertiser'' on Tuesday 28 August. Suffolk played two further matches against Norfolk on 10 and 12 September at Scole, Norfolk. A team representative of Suffolk is next recorded as playing in 1827 against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). It was during this time that the Bury St Edmunds club became prominent, its reputation enhanced when Fuller Pilch joined in 1824.

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. That has left historians and statisticians with the problem of how to categorise earlier matches, especially those played in ...

History Of Suffolk
Although the English county of Suffolk in eastern England starts as an administrative unit after the Anglo-Saxon settlement, evidence of human activity in Suffolk stretches back over 700,000 years, with prehistoric sites among the earliest known in northern Europe. It emerged after the Dark Ages as the southern part of the Kingdom of East Anglia, and became a distinct entity during the early medieval period, with important settlements at Sudbury and Ipswich. The county experienced successive waves of conquest and political change: from Danish incursions and integration into the Danelaw, through Norman feudal restructuring, to the religious and civil turmoil of later centuries. Its economy evolved from medieval cloth-making and agriculture to industrial and maritime activities in the 18th and 19th centuries. Suffolk's political structures, ecclesiastical boundaries, and administrative divisions have remained relatively stable, despite periodic reforms and erosion of its c ...

Non-international England Cricket Teams
In English cricket since the first half of the 18th century, various ''ad hoc'' teams have been formed for short-term purposes which have been called England (or sometimes "All-England"; i.e., in the sense of "the rest of England") to play against, say, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) or an individual County cricket, county team. The key factor is that they were non-international and there is a significant difference between them and the official England cricket team which takes part in international fixtures. Conceptually, there is evidence of this sort of team being formed, or at least mooted, since the 1730s. They have always been "occasional elevens" but, nevertheless, have invariably been strong sides. A typical example would be a selection consisting of leading players drawn from several county teams. Origin of the name The earliest known mention of the concept occurs in a report by the ''London Evening Post'' of 7 to 9 September 1734 which states that the London Cricket Club, ...

The club was the governing body of cricket from 1788 to 1989 and retains considerable global influence. In 1788, the MCC took responsibility for the laws of cricket, issuing a revised version that year. Changes to these Laws are now determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), but the copyright is still owned by MCC.
