0:00.0	This episode was suggested by my husband, David.
0:03.4	If you'd like to make a suggestion, you can do so on Facebook and Instagram at Morbid Curiosity Podcast,
0:09.4	on Twitter, at Morbid Podcast, and on our website, www.morbidCuriositypodcast.com.
0:18.1	This episode contains discussions of war, possible exploitation, mental illness, and suicide.
0:24.6	If these aren't things you want to hear about, this may be a good episode to skip. Humans are fascinated by gore and violence, but even more so the mysterious and unsolved.
0:47.3	Interest in these disturbing and unpleasant subjects is called morbid curiosity, and it has gripped hundreds of people throughout the ages.
0:56.6	I am one of those people. My name is Hallie, and this is the Morbid Curiosity podcast.
1:07.3	Music Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world after football, or soccer to our North American creepy community members.
1:25.0	As the Cricket World Cup is currently going on, my husband David suggested I
1:29.3	do a podcast on the history of cricket. At first, I didn't think there was anything morbid to be

1:56.9	podcast, but we've made an exception for this story. I'm pretty new to cricket, so if I
2:02.4	get something wrong, please forgive me. For our regular listeners, welcome back. I hope I'm able to
2:08.5	explain cricket well enough to peak your interest, and I hope you enjoy another venture into the
2:13.8	darker side of history. I also want to say a huge thank you to the Melbourne Cricket
2:19.0	Club Library at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds, and especially to librarian David Studham,
2:23.8	who helped me to access the hard-to-find materials I needed for this episode. Thank you.
2:29.7	Before we get into a story of scandal and murder, I want to give a brief description of the game of cricket and its history.
2:36.8	As I said, I'm new to cricket, and I valued an overview of the basics when doing this research, so I wanted to share it with you as well.
