History
Cricket was born in Canterbury. The village, which was built in 1850 and modeled after a portion of England in a far-off country, was a planned imitation of an English town transplanted to the wilds of Oregon. It was a church-based design, but the bat went with the Bible because there had to be another England if there were to be Canterbury.
In the first days of a fresh and flourishing Christchurch, the destiny of Hagley Oval as the historical and spiritual home of cricket in Canterbury was decided. Just four months after coming to Christchurch, the pioneers to Canterbury had established their own cricket club. In March 1846, the club was officially formed at a meeting of the Britannia Cricket Club in Blackheath. The Chamberlains’ XI was founded soon after, with other prominent names such as George Parr-Darracott and WJ Chambers headlining the team’s ranks. Just months later, on December 16, 1851
