Photograph of a cricket match outside the Brockton Clubhouse in Vancouver, B.C.

Cricket is a bat-and-ball team sport where the batting side tries to score as many runs as possible while the bowling side attempts to get batters out, also known as taking wickets, and restrict the flow or runs. The team with the highest number of runs wins a match. Should both teams be unable to complete their number of turns before the time allotted, the match is declared a draw. The bats used in cricket are constructed from high-grade willow and the balls are made of leather stitched onto a cork core.

Brockton Oval Clubhouse opened their athletic fields at Brockton Point Stanley Park in 1891, serving ten different sport groups. In 1889, the Vancouver Cricket Club was officially formed, marking the introduction of cricket to the area. It is said that the British began playing cricket in British Columbia as late as 1850s during their colonization efforts. Cricket continued to be one of the most popular games in Vancouver, attracting crowds of over 200 people at the B.C. Mainland Cricket League games.
