The origin of cricket is assume to be nearby Europe around England. When this game got popularity in 19Th century, its most popular and passionate among millionaire people.

At that time they used to plat this game with lot of game spirit and the umpire was like the statue had the role of just agreeing with the decision and final approval. If anyone got out and umpire didn't give him out they had to leave the crease with full game spirit.

These are the reason why cricket is supposed to be a gentleman game.

The actual phrase here is ;

"Rugby, a thugs game played by gentlemen". This was coined at a time when the game developed from the Rugby school through the private school and university education system. These were normally well- to do families and the young men considered "gentlemen". The game was seen as character building, working off excess aggression and where all plays left the physical element on the pitch , not taking grudges away with them.

Throughout its development the game has become famous for the after game socialising where the plays, having hit 7 bells out of each other would gather, each a meal and in certain circumstances enjoy an alcoholic beverage. The competition then changed from rugby to signing bawdy songs, attempting to out-sing the opposing team and generally have a good time, all of course in the name of sport!
