Australia and England were the 2 teams to play the first test match in the year 1877. This was just the beginning of some fierce battles being fought on the cricket filed between the 2 teams and the series was christened as the 'Ashes'. The game was included as an Olympic sport only in the year 1900. The international body which governs the sport, ICC, was founded in the year 1909. The 1st ODI was played in the year 1971 and 4 years later the first ODI world cup was held. In the recent years the game has been dominated by the Australians on the field and by the subcontinental countries off the field.
