Over a 16-year period starting from 1896 to 1912, the United States of America were among the strongest cricketing nations in the Olympics. They were good enough to win medals for the sport of cricket in every edition of the Olympic Games played during this period, starting with a Gold medal in 1896, a Bronze medal in 1900, another Bronze medal in 1904 on home turf at St Louis, a Silver medal in 1908, and another Silver medal in 1912. The biggest reason behind their success was an all-rounder from Philadelphia by the name of John Barton King. Often considered to be the greatest player to never play Test cricket, Bart King went on to become the greatest all-round cricketer in the history of Olympic cricket over the course of a 24-year career spanning from 1896 to 1920.

King played predominantly as a more than competent top-order batsman and a fast bowler of unmatched skill who generally bowled with the new ball. Playing a total of 22 matches for the United States over the course of his long career, he aggregated 543 runs at an average of 30.17 with 4 half-centuries, and took 41 wickets at an average of 15.68, which included 2 five-wicket hauls. His highest score with the bat was 95 against Great Britain in the final of the 1912 Olympics, while his best bowling analysis of 8 for 11 came earlier in the same tournament against the Netherlands. He also captained the United States in 8 matches between 1908 and 1912, winning 5 and leading them to two Silver medals for cricket.

Making his Olympic debut as a 22-year old in the 1896 Olympic Games held in Athens, King scored 70 runs at 35.00 and took 6 wickets at 23.33 from 4 matches. He played a key role in the United States' 2-wicket victory over Australia in the opening match of the competition, taking 3 for 22 from 8 overs and scoring 20. His greatest contribution came in the tournament final against a powerful Great Britain lineup led by WG Grace, where he scored 49 off just 30 balls and later took 1 for 45 from 10 overs as the Americans sent ripples across the cricketing world by beating the world's greatest Test side to win a Gold medal for cricket.

Four years later in the 1900 Olympic Games where the United States won a Bronze medal for cricket, King endured his leanest Olympic tournament to date, scoring only 39 runs at an average of 13.00 and taking 3 wickets at 40.67 from 4 matches. His stats could have been made to look better as he had returned figures of 3 for 19 from 6 overs in a hastily arranged Bronze playoff against Canada which was won by the Americans, but the match was not given official status by the IOC. It would be the only time his average dipped below 20 with the bat and rose above 25 with the ball in an Olympic tournament. He returned stronger than ever in the 1904 Olympic Games played on the United States' home turf at St Louis, taking 13 wickets at a miserly average of 11.69, recording a then career best 6 for 21 against the Mixed Team and scoring 101 runs at an average of 20.20 after having re-invented himself as an obdurate top-order batsman. He also scored a maiden half-century with 57 against Great Britain in the tournament semi-final, but in vain as the United States lost the match by 6 wickets. They finished with another Bronze medal by beating the West Indies in the Bronze playoff, following which long-time captain John Lester handed over the reins of the United States team to King.

It was in his mid-thirties and after being made United States captain that King truly reached the peak of his powers as a player. In 8 matches during this period, he scored 296 runs at an average of 42.29 with the bat, and took 19 wickets at 11.21 with the ball. He led the United States to two Olympic finals in 1908 and 1912, both coming against Great Britain, where they only narrowly missed out on Gold medals due to a stubborn last-wicket pair and thrilling last ball six from Phil Mead. King gave it his all in both finals, scoring 61 off 53 balls with 6 sixes and taking 2 for 28 from 8 overs in 1908, and 95 off 108 balls with 5 sixes and figures of 1 for 23 from 10 overs in 1912. During the 1908 Olympics, he went past Bill Lockwood's record of 23 wickets to emerge as the leading wicket-taker in the Olympics, eventually finishing with 30 at the end of the season. At the age of 39 in 1912, he had seemingly hung up his boots after a stellar tournament during which he scored 127 runs at 42.33 and took 11 wickets at an unbelievable average of 6.45 from 3 matches. In doing so, he became only the third player after Clem Hill and Victor Trumper to cross the 500-run mark in Olympic cricket and the first to take more than 40 wickets in a career.

But it wasn't to be the last of him in the Olympics. Eight years later in 1920, following the end of the Great War and upon the resumption of the Olympic Games, King was tempted out of retirement at the age of 46 by the US Olympic Committee in a bid to add some much needed experience to a squad depleted by retirements of prominent players and casualties in the war. In what was the United States' only match against Canada, he acquitted himself well with 37 off 50 balls, but looked a shadow of his former self with the ball as he could send down only 5 wicketless overs for the cost of 16 runs after being brought on as third change. His knock helped push his Olympic career average above 30 and made him the batsman to hit the most number of sixes i.e 16 in the Olympics. The United States went on to lose to Canada for the very first time in the Olympics and endured their first ever medal-less campaign for cricket. He retired again, this time for good.​

Of all the batsmen to have played during the period between 1890 to 1914, otherwise known as the Golden Age of Cricket, Australia's Victor Trumper was by general consent the best and most brilliant. He was among the most versatile batsmen in the history of Test cricket, capable of excelling on any kind of wicket, against any kind of opposition, from any given batting position; he once scored 293 batting at No 9 in a first-class match. The true genius of his batting was evident not by the number of runs he scored or his career average, but by his performances on wickets regarded as unplayable by other batsmen, where he would often stand head and shoulders above his contemporaries. Many such wickets were found in the early Olympic tournaments which Trumper played in, where he was among a handful of batsmen with career averages in the mid-thirties. He formed the core of a talented Australian lineup alongside Clem Hill, Monty Noble, Warwick Armstrong and Hugh Trumble that turned Australia's fortunes in the late 1890s, turning them into a powerful side that held The Ashes for 6 years between 1897-98 to 1903-04, and won two Gold medals for cricket in the 1900 and 1904 Olympic Games.

Trumper played in 18 matches in the Olympics between 1900 to 1912, scoring 613 runs at an average of 34.06. His generally attacking style of play meant he would often give away his wicket up on crossing fifty, which he did on 5 occasions. The closest he ever got to scoring a century in the Olympics was during an innings of 92 against Belgium in 1908, a season where no other batsman could even make it to the 90s, let alone score a century. He was the second batsman to cross 500 and 600 runs in a career after his team-mate Clem Hill, and possessed the second highest average by an opening batsman with more than 300 runs in an Olympic career following Tom Hayward's 38.82 for Great Britain. As a fielder, he had perhaps the safest pair of hands among his contemporaries, taking 14 catches from 18 matches including a record 7 in a single edition of the Olympics in 1908. He was also called upon to bowl his part-time medium pace on just the one occasion in the final of the 1900 Olympic Games against Great Britain, and responded by picking 1 wicket for the cost of 5 runs from 2 overs. His airtight final over to Johnny Briggs with a variety of cutters was the catalyst in helping Australia secure their first Gold medal for cricket.

Trumper made his debut in the 1900 Games held in Paris against New Zealand, scoring 12 off 42 balls on a pitch where most batsmen endured a very difficult time. The pitch for their next match against Argentina proved even worse as the former were bowled out for a paltry 87, and Australia went on to lose 8 wickets in their run chase of 88. Trumper made the only score above 20 in the entire match, top-scoring with 29 off 39 balls. The conditions finally improved for their third match against the United States, where Trumper brought up his maiden Olympic fifty in a 33-run victory for the Australians. He added another half-century by scoring 67 off 94 balls in the semi-final victory over Canada, but failed with the bat in the final against Great Britain scoring only 1. However, his part-time medium pace proved instrumental in Australia's narrow 5-run victory, as he took the crucial wicket of Stanley Jackson and bowled an extremely tight final over to contain Johnny Briggs when Australia had all but run out of bowling options. And so, his first Olympic tournament yielded 161 runs at an average 32.20 from 5 matches with two half-centuries. Those numbers were all the more respectable given the kind of pitches Australia played most of their matches on.

Over the next couple of years, Trumper would go on to play some truly remarkable innings in Test cricket such as his 103 before lunch against England at Old Trafford, and topped the first class averages 2570 runs at 48.49 in one of the wettest English seasons on record in 1902. But he failed to live up to the expectations in his second Olympic tournament in St Louis in 1904, scoring just 102 runs at an average of 20.40 from 5 matches. Though he got off to a couple of good starts against the United States and South Africa, he wasn't able to carry on and managed a high score of just 39 in the entire competition. Australia went on to win their second Gold medal on the trot despite his lack of success. The NOCs of Australia and New Zealand joined together to form a team representing Australasia, whom Trumper would go on to play for in the 1908 and 1912 Olympic Games.

The 1908 Olympic Games in London were statistically Trumper's most successful Olympic tournament as a batsman. He scored 238 runs at an average of 47.60 from 5 matches, with a highest score of 92 in Australasia's 214-run mauling of Belgium at Lord's. Not once did he score below 30 in the entire competition. But Australasia fared poorly overall, and were defeated in both the semi-final against Great Britain and Bronze playoff against South Africa. Nonetheless, he managed to take his career tally to 500 runs and finished the tournament with a record 7 catches to his name. However, illness saw him miss the following cricketing season, and doubts began to surface on whether he could play first-class or Olympic cricket again. He made a return to the Australian Test side in 1909, but looked far from his best.

Trumper regained his old fluency in 1910, and saw his consistency as a batsman improve markedly. He averaged more than 50 in first-class cricket in the two-year period leading up to the 1912 Olympics, and almost 60 in Test cricket. In the 1912 Games at Stockholm, he scored 112 runs at an average of 37.33 from 3 matches. Australasia progressed past the second round of the knockout competition as he scored 61 against Burma. He was then out for nought to Sydney Barnes in the semi-final against Great Britain, which Australasia lost by 6 wickets. They managed to win the Bronze playoff against South Africa by 96 runs, where Trumper bowed out with a half-century and went past 600 career runs in the Olympics, eventually finishing with 613. It was to be his last appearance in international cricket, with the boycott of the 1912 Triangular Tournament effectively ending his Test career. He continued to churn out runs in first-class cricket, even scoring a record 293 from No 9 in 1914, before his health gave out and forced him to retire from cricket completely. His health continued to decline rapidly, and on 28 June 1915, Victor Trumper died at the age of 37 as a result of Bright's disease in Darlinghurst, Sydney. He was buried in Waverley Cemetery after the largest funeral procession ever seen in Sydney with 20,000 mourners lining the route.​

The Irish innings went along at a very slow pace before the arrival of Augustine Kelly with the fall of the 8th wicket. The West Indian bowling attack featuring Learie Constantine, George Francis and Herman Griffith among others were expecting another easy wicket, but were given a rude shock as Kelly blitzed his way to a 21-ball 45 to take Ireland to a total above 200. The 10th wicket pair of Kelly and Jackson added 52 in only 4.4 overs.

With openers George Challenor and Clifford Roach having posted 120 for the first wicket, this was expected to be an easy victory for the West Indies. But slow-left arm bowler James MacDonald sparked a stunning recovery for Ireland by dismissing Challenor, Headley, St Hill and Constantine to pick 4 for 31, as West Indies collapsed from 120 for 0 to 184 for 8. Still, it wasn't over yet for the West Indies, with Oscar "Tommy" Scott and Herman Griffith displaying their batting prowess by posting a quickfire 30-run stand for the 9th wicket.

They had taken the West Indies within 3 runs of victory when fast bowler Thomas Dixon came on to bowl the 48th over, and bowled Griffith off the second ball and then Scott off the fourth. Ireland emerged victorious by only 2 runs and won their first medal for cricket in the Olympic Games in the form of Bronze.

Again, it was the quick-scoring Bradman who reached the milestone first. The 20-year batsman from New South Wales brought up his maiden Olympic century.

He eclipsed Hill's record score in the next over to finish unbeaten on 129. He now held the record for the highest individual score by an Australian in the Olympics. Australia continued their trend of posting big totals in this tournament with a score of 279.

Great Britain need 280 to win off 50 overs.

@CerealKiller @Saroj padhy​
 
An excellent knock by Bradman. Ponsford was really unlucky to miss out on a ton. Hopefully we'll bowl well enough.
 
Olympic Batting Record - Progressive Holders
FOR BOWLING RECORD, SEE HERE​

qhBYwuP.png
William Noble - 58 (87) vs Australia - Athens 1896
In the very first Olympic cricket match, Philadelphian William Noble produced a vital half-century from number five to rally his country to a shock win over the much more fancied Australia. Crucial partnerships with Bart King and Arthur Brockie saw a tricky target of 166 overhauled with 20 balls to spare.

6whBFVU.png
WG Grace - 66 (76) vs United States - Athens 1896
The Doctor may have been getting on in years, with 48 of them already under his belt, but he was too good for the Americans. He romped away with an attacking innings that was cut short by a loose shot after running down the pitch to Henry Baily. This rush of blood cost WG his shot at the first Olympic century.

qhBYwuP.png
John Lester - 74 (131) vs Great Britain - Athens 1896
The first ever Olympic cricket final was the perfect occasion for a display of batting brilliance, which was duly delivered by John Barton King. However, he would not have been able to feast on the English bowlers if John Lester had not laid an exemplary platform for him. This record batting effort earned the gold for USA.

6whBFVU.png
Johnny Tyldesley - 96 (120) vs France - Paris 1900
As one of Lancashire's finest ever batsmen, Tyldesley didn't have to be at his potent best to feast on the French bowling. The fact that he was simply meant that the French were given the sort of punishment that ultimately led to an Olympic-record 278-run defeat.

6whBFVU.png
Archie MacLaren - 108 (143) vs Canada - Paris 1900
It was a fine tournament indeed for Lancashire's batsmen. This time, MacLaren took advantage of some decidedly lacklustre Canadian bowling to accumulate the first century in Olympic history. The second was completed just a few minutes later as Gilbert Jessop careered his way to a breakneck ton of his own.

qhBYwuP.png
John Lester - 123* (146) vs South Africa - St Louis 1904
Eight years on from his Athenian innings, John Lester became the first man to reclaim the Olympic record by hitting a mesmerising unbeaten century against Test stars such as Jimmy Sinclair, Reggie Schwarz and Dave Nourse. This innings lifted America to yet another victory over a Test playing nation.

IMNGEl9.png
Clem Hill - 128* (136) vs Mixed Team - St Louis 1904
No sooner had Lester reclaimed the record than it was taken off him once again. The Mixed Team had a dismal record in the Olympics, not least because their bowling attack offered very little besides Herbert Dorning and Hesketh Hesketh-Pritchard. First Reggie Duff (98) then Clem Hill (128, new record) cashed in.

6whBFVU.png
Jack Hobbs - 150* (167) vs United States - Paris 1924
After twenty long years in the possession of Clem Hill (no-one got closer than South Africa's Herbie Taylor), the Olympic batting record finally changed hands. Jack Hobbs, already a legend of the game, utterly dismantled the once-mighty Americans. He was particularly harsh on George Cupitt, who leaked almost 50 runs from five overs.

IMNGEl9.png
Don Bradman - 264* (174) vs Chile - Los Angeles, 1932
When Jack Hobbs set his record in Paris, nobody really imagined that it could be beaten. But when Bradman walked in to bat at number three against Chile, he proved everyone wrong. Nobody even noticed Bill Ponsford score a century at the other end, so entirely flawless was his batting. Who needs Trumper when we've got Don Bradman?

Despite not taking too many risks, Great Britain's classy opening pair of Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe got them off to a very good start, playing what was their last match together in the Olympics. The 46-year old Hobbs had earlier signalled his intention to retire from Olympic cricket following the conclusion of this final.

Hobbs brought up the 4th half-century of his remarkable Olympic career by carting Bert Ironmonger with utter disdain for a six down the ground. In doing so, he became the first player to score more than 800 runs in a career, having already gone past Clem Hill's record of 685 during Great Britain's match against Uruguay in the first round of the competition. His career tally currently stood at a remarkable 803 runs coming at an astonishing average of 61.77 from 19 matches. However, he still needed to score another 37 runs to finish with a career average of above 60.

It turned out to be one of the very few things Hobbs wasn't able to achieve during his Olympic career. He was dismissed for 54 by Ironmonger, which saw him finish with a career average that stood head and shoulders above the rest of his peers at 57.43 from 19 matches. It was the end of one of the greatest careers in Olympic history. He added 109 with Sutcliffe in their final innings together at the Olympics, giving Great Britain a realistic chance of overhauling Australia's massive total of 279 if they could up the ante sometime soon.

But that didn't happen anytime soon, with Ernest Tyldesley struggling to acclimatise to the match situation and taking far too many deliveries to get settled at the crease. Great Britain now had to score at a ridiculously high rate of 7 and a half runs per over in order to get to their target.

Great Britain would need an unfathomable 125 runs off the final 10 overs of the match to gain victory. The batsmen seemed to have accepted their fate and simply decided to bat out the remaining overs while scoring as much as they could within the realms of possibility.

He brought it up in style with a boundary off Australian skipper Jack Ryder. This was now the first Olympic final to contain two individual centuries. Great Britain had something to cheer for despite being consigned to a Silver medal for the fifth time.

The match was headed for an entertaining finish with Ryder letting Don Bradman have a bowl in the final over where Great Britain would need an impossible 61 runs for victory.

Australia won their fifth Gold medal for cricket since it's inception alongside the Olympic Games in 1896, and their third in succession since the resumption of the Games following the end of the Great War in 1920. They were the first team to ever win three Gold medals in succession in the Olympics, otherwise termed as a hat-trick. The previous best Gold-winning streak was two by their 1900 and 1904 Gold winning teams led by Joe Darling, and also Great Britain who beat the United States in two Olympic finals in succession in 1908 and 1912.

vFIa5f8.jpg


Great Britain on the other hand won their fifth Silver medal for cricket. Their old problems with Olympic finals seemed to have resurfaced since the Olympics' resumption in 1920, with two of their finals since then ending in defeats to Australia. Nonetheless, winning a Silver medal is no mean effort in a tournament featuring a record 20 teams and a far better result than their Bronze-winning effort in 1924.

31569.jpg


The Ireland cricket team were made to pose as medal winners for the very first time, after winning their first ever medal for cricket in the form of a Bronze medal by sensationally defeating a strong West Indies lineup in the Bronze playoff. In doing so, they also managed to avenge their heartbreaking losses to the West Indies in the 1904 and 1924 Games.

220px-DonaldBradman.jpg


The 20-year old Don Bradman impressed one and all with his unbeaten 129 in the final, which helped Australia post a match-winning total of 279. It was his maiden Olympic century and also his first at international level. He went past Clem Hill's record score of 128* in 1904, which was the highest by an Australian batsman before Bradman overtook it by just one run. He also picked one of only three wickets managed by Australia during Great Britain's innings, dismissing centurion Herbert Sutcliffe for 103 off the final ball of the match. His first Olympic tournament saw him score 227 runs at an awe-inspiring average of 113.50 (helped by 2 not outs from 4 innings) from 4 matches, with one half-century and century each to his name.

220px-Bill_Ponsford.jpg


Bradman was second on runs to only Bill Ponsford, who managed 247 at an average of 61.75 for Australia to finish as the leading run scorer of the tournament. Ponsford scored three half-centuries from just 4 matches in the tournament, falling agonizingly short of a century by only one run against Great Britain in the final. Nonetheless, his run-scoring feats saw him named Player of the Tournament for the 1928 Olympic Games.

154283.3.jpg


The conclusion of the final saw the retirements of three prominent post-war cricketers from the Olympics, namely Jack Hobbs of Great Britain, and the Australian duo of Jack Gregory and Charles Kelleway.

220px-Hobbs_in_Australia_1928.jpg


Jack Hobbs retired as the highest run scorer in the history of Olympic cricket, having gone past Clem Hill's record of 685 runs in Great Britain's first round match against Uruguay earlier in the tournament. He had broken another one of Hill's records previously in 1924, when he scored an unbeaten 150 against the United States to record the highest individual score by a batsman in the Olympics. In his final Olympic tournament in 1928, he became the first batsman to cross 700 and 800 runs in a career, eventually finishing with 804 at an astonishing average of 57.43 from 19 matches between 1908 and 1928.

100143.1.jpg


Jack Gregory, who was among the world's most feared fast bowlers in the 1920s, finished an 11-match career between 1920 to 1928 with 19 wickets at an average of 20.68 with the ball, and 163 runs at an average of 54.33 with the bat. His high batting average was no doubt helped by the fact that he predominantly batted in the lower-order for powerful Australian batting lineups despite being a very competent batsman, and remained not out in 3 of his 6 innings at the crease. But he managed to score his runs at a record high strike rate of 119.85 runs per hundred balls, the highest by any batsman with more than 150 runs in an Olympic career. He had also brought up a century off just 70 balls in the semi-final of the 1928 tournament against eventual Bronze medalists Ireland, beating the 72-ball record set by his captain Jack Ryder earlier in the same tournament against Rhodesia.

R9jzvZl.jpg


Gregory's new ball partner Charles Kelleway also retired alongside him, after a 12-match Olympic career dating back to 1912, before start of the Great War and when Australia and New Zealand played as one team in the form of Australasia. Playing in Australian teams containing several players of great renown, he was a useful if somewhat under-rated all-rounder, though the Olympics never brought out the best in him as a batsman. In 12 matches, he scored 186 runs at an average of 23.25 with the bat, and took 14 wickets at an average of 23.00 with the ball. Known to be a batsman with a solid technique, he surprised many by hitting the only six of his Olympic career off Wally Hammond in the final over of Australia's innings in the 1928 final.

Olympic Batting Record - Progressive Holders​

22px-US_flag_45_stars.svg.png
William Noble - 58 (87) vs Australia - Athens 1896
In the very first Olympic cricket match, Philadelphian William Noble produced a vital half-century from number five to rally his country to a shock win over the much more fancied Australia. Crucial partnerships with Bart King and Arthur Brockie saw a tricky target of 166 overhauled with 20 balls to spare.

22px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png
WG Grace - 66 (76) vs United States - Athens 1896
The Doctor may have been getting on in years, with 48 of them already under his belt, but he was too good for the Americans. He romped away with an attacking innings that was cut short by a loose shot after running down the pitch to Henry Baily. This rush of blood cost WG his shot at the first Olympic century.

22px-US_flag_45_stars.svg.png
John Lester - 74 (131) vs Great Britain - Athens 1896
The first ever Olympic cricket final was the perfect occasion for a display of batting brilliance, which was duly delivered by John Barton King. However, he would not have been able to feast on the English bowlers if John Lester had not laid an exemplary platform for him. This record batting effort earned the gold for USA.

22px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png
Johnny Tyldesley - 96 (120) vs France - Paris 1900
As one of Lancashire's finest ever batsmen, Tyldesley didn't have to be at his potent best to feast on the French bowling. The fact that he was simply meant that the French were given the sort of punishment that ultimately led to an Olympic-record 278-run defeat.

22px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png
Archie MacLaren - 108 (143) vs Canada - Paris 1900
It was a fine tournament indeed for Lancashire's batsmen. This time, MacLaren took advantage of some decidedly lacklustre Canadian bowling to accumulate the first century in Olympic history. The second was completed just a few minutes later as Gilbert Jessop careered his way to a breakneck ton of his own.

22px-US_flag_45_stars.svg.png
John Lester - 123* (146) vs South Africa - St Louis 1904
Eight years on from his Athenian innings, John Lester became the first man to reclaim the Olympic record by hitting a mesmerising unbeaten century against Test stars such as Jimmy Sinclair, Reggie Schwarz and Dave Nourse. This innings lifted America to yet another victory over a Test playing nation.

22px-Flag_of_Australia_%281903-1908%29.svg.png
Clem Hill - 128* (136) vs Mixed Team - St Louis 1904
No sooner had Lester reclaimed the record than it was taken off him once again. The Mixed Team had a dismal record in the Olympics, not least because their bowling attack offered very little besides Herbert Dorning and Hesketh Hesketh-Pritchard. First Reggie Duff (98) then Clem Hill (128, new record) cashed in.

22px-Flag_of_the_United_Kingdom.svg.png
Jack Hobbs - 150* (167) vs United States - Paris 1924
After twenty long years in the possession of Clem Hill (no-one got closer than South Africa's Herbie Taylor), the Olympic batting record finally changed hands. Jack Hobbs, already a legend of the game, utterly dismantled the once-mighty Americans. He was particularly harsh on George Cupitt, who leaked almost 50 runs from five overs.

I may have just done that as a way of procrastinating before doing my university work. And yes, it may be due tomorrow.

Superb effort, mate. Would it be too much to ask if you could do something similar for the progressive bowling analyses in the Olympics when you find the time? :D
 
They didn't even try. Great to make it three in a row.

Cricket at the Olympics - Amsterdam 1928​

The 1928 Olympic Games, now known as the Summer Olympics since a separate Winter Olympics was introduced in 1924, are set to be hosted in Amsterdam, Netherlands. With as many as 20 teams entering for the sport of cricket, it is set to be the biggest international cricket tournament till date. The teams participating (in alphabetical order) are:

Uruguay and the

West Indies.

Making their Olympic debuts this year are China, who missed out in both 1920 and 1924 due to various reasons. Uruguay, who have gone on to dominate the sport of football like no other, will also try their hand at cricket for the very first time. Meanwhile, Burma and Egypt will be making their comebacks to the sport after a 16-year hiatus. This will also be the first Olympic Games since 1908, in which the host nation participates in cricket. The Netherlands are one of the most prominent cricket teams to not have the so-called "Test status" and have a deep history with the game. They will be looking to make the most of a rare opportunity of playing in an Olympics at home.

The Amsterdam Olympisch Stadion and Harry Elte Stadium will play host to the cricket matches set to take place in the tournament. The usual cup tie or knockout format will be used again, though this time the Games will include a preliminary round featuring eight teams vying for four available spots in the first round of sixteen.​

Summary​

The 1928 Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the IX Olympiad, were held in Amsterdam, the capital city of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. These were the eighth edition of the Olympic Games and the first to be known as the Summer Olympics, since a separate Winter Olympics was introduced in 1924. Other innovations included the lighting of the Olympic Flame for the very first time, the parade of nations starting with Greece (which holds the origins of the Olympics) and ending with the host country, and use of Coca-Cola as a tournament sponsor also for the very first time.

The sport of cricket enjoyed it's most popular Olympics till date, with a record 20 nations participating in the cricket tournament at the 1928 Games. Among the participants were the Republic of China and Uruguay, two nations mostly associated with martial arts and football respectively, who tried their hand at high level cricket for the first time. This was China's official debut at the Olympic Games after a near miss in 1924 when they participated in the opening ceremony, but their only four athletes (all tennis players) withdrew from the competition shortly afterwards. Burma and Egypt also ended their 16-year hiatus from the sport by participating for the first time since 1912. The full list of participating nations (in alphabetical order) included Argentina, Australia, Bermuda, Brazil, Burma, Canada, Ceylon, Chile, China, Egypt, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, United States, Uruguay and the West Indies. Netherlands became the first host nation to participate in cricket since Great Britain in the 1908 Olympics in London.

The knockout format that was introduced in 1912, continued to be used for cricket and proved beneficial given the short span of 1928 Olympics which lasted a little over 16 days, making it the shortest Olympics in terms of days since the the 1896 Olympics in Athens that lasted a total of 9 days. However, for the first time, the tournament included a preliminary round featuring eight teams, namely Bermuda, Brazil, Burma, Chile, China, Egypt, Rhodesia and Uruguay, vying for four available spots in the round of sixteen into which Australia, Argentina, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa, United States and the West Indies had already gained direct entry. A total of 20 matches were played throughout the tournament across two different venues in the Amsterdam Olympisch Stadion, and the Harry Elte Stadion (also known as the Old Stadion), which would go on to be demolished only a year later.

China, Egypt, Rhodesia and Uruguay gained qualification to the round of sixteen with victories over Bermuda, Chile, Burma and Brazil respectively. Ellis Achong, a Trinidadian cricketer of Chinese descent with a rather unusual bowling method (he bowled wrist spin with his left arm) made his debut for China during the preliminary round. He bowled a match-winning spell of 4 for 25 from his 10 overs, as Bermuda's batsmen appeared clueless against this new type of bowling which would later be termed as slow left-arm chinaman owing to his Chinese heritage. Among the other surprises thrown up were the performance of the Uruguay national team in their cricketing debut against South American neighbors Brazil. Carlos Cat and HL Pennock picked 4 wickets apiece to in their side's 3-wicket victory, which helped them progress to the next round to face Great Britain in the round of sixteen.

The round of sixteen had it's equal share of thrillers and mismatches between Test-playing and amateur nations. Australia beat Rhodesia by a ginormous 222-run margin as captain Jack Ryder smashed the then fastest century (it would later be overtaken by Jack Gregory in the same tournament) in Olympic cricket off just 72 balls. Argentina beat the once mighty United States by 8 runs in a thrilling match, as the latter exited without a medal for the third Olympic Games on the trot since 1920. South Africa defeated newcomers China by 175 runs in another mismatch, as John Nicolson's 65 proved more than the entire Chinese side put together. Meanwhile, Canada were found wanting against an Ireland lineup containing several players with good first-class experience, and lost by 40 runs in a low scoring contest. West Indies, the Silver medalists of 1924, crushed Egypt by 8 wickets in a match that turned out to be George Headley's Olympic debut. The hosts Netherlands and Ceylon took part in another thrilling low-scorer in the round with the former emerging victorious by 17 runs, while Great Britain crushed Uruguay by 10 wickets in another no-contest between Test-playing and amateur nations. The last match of the round saw India overcome New Zealand by a thrilling 2-run margin. And so, the teams making it to the quarter-finals were Australia, Argentina, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa and the West Indies.

Australia posted a record 304/2 against Argentina in the first quarter-final, as 19-year old Archie Jackson scored 109 off 122 balls. Argentina could only manage 162/7 from their 50 overs, and lost by 142 runs. The second quarter-final saw the first real upset in a match between a Test-playing and amateur nation in the 1928 tournament, as Ireland overcame South Africa by 5 wickets despite a brilliant unbeaten century from Herbie Taylor, who became the first batsman to record more than one century in an Olympic career. The fast bowling duo of Learie Constantine and George Francis picked 4 wickets apiece in the third quarter-final to help West Indies set the record straight with an 8-wicket victory against hosts Netherlands, who had beaten them in both their previous encounters in 1904 and 1912. India almost did the unthinkable by nearly upsetting their colonial masters Great Britain in the fourth quarter-final, but for a superb all-round display by Wally Hammond, who picked 5 for 24 from 10 overs while bowling and scored a crucial 51 off 63 balls with the bat. Australia, Great Britain, Ireland and the West Indies made it to the semi-finals as a result of their victories.

Australia continued their irresistible 1928 form by posting their third consecutive total in excess of 300 on the trot in the first semi-final against Ireland. The hard hitting Jack Gregory went on to score the fastest century in Olympic history off just 70 balls, beating his captain Jack Ryder's 72-ball effort against Rhodesia earlier in the tournament. He then turned up the heat with some intimidatory fast bowling, which fetched him 3 wickets and saw Ireland reduced to 97/7 by the 30th over. They then batted out their remaining overs to post 188/8, as Jacko Heaslip stonewalled his way to 42 off 100 balls. Australia won by 114 runs, their third consecutive victory by a margin of 100 runs or more in the competition, and made it to the final. Herbert Sutcliffe and Ernest Tyldesley found form at the right moment during the second semi-final to help Great Britain register a 5-wicket victory over the West Indies, Test cricket's newest addition as of 1928. George Headley's maiden half-century in the Olympics in the form of a 123-ball 63 went in vain, alongside Learie Constantine's much faster 52 off 63 balls. This left Ireland and the West Indies to battle it out for a Bronze medal, while Australia and Great Britain battled it out for a Gold medal in the cricket final of the 1928 Olympic Games.

The Irish couldn't have picked a better match to avenge their heartbreaking losses to the West Indies in 1904 and 1924. The West Indian bowling lineup featuring Learie Constantine, George Francis, Herman Griffith and Snuffy Browne among others kept Ireland's batsmen in check for most part, reducing them to 165/8. But they went on to concede 52 runs in just 4.4 overs for the 9th wicket, with plucky Irish wicket-keeper Augustine Kelly smashing 45 off just 21 balls from No 10. Still, the match was West Indies' to lose when their opening pair of George Challenor and Clifford Roach put on 120 runs for the 1st wicket. That was exactly what happened, as James MacDonald picked 4 for 31 and Thomas Dixon 3 for 54, to bowl Ireland to a stunning 2-run victory. They won their first medal for cricket in the form of a Bronze medal. West Indies, the Silver medalists of 1924 were consigned to a lowly 4th place.

In the final, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first, posting a big total of 279/5 from their 50 overs. Bill Ponsford and Don Bradman joined together at the fall of Archie Jackson's wicket with the score at 38, and went on to add another 205 runs off 36.1 overs for the 2nd wicket. Ponsford was eventually dismissed for 99, but Bradman scored his century and went on to overtake the legendary Clem Hill's 128* in 1904, which up to that point was the highest score by an Australian batsman in the Olympics. In response, Great Britain started off their run chase with Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe putting on 109 off 22.5 overs for the 1st wicket. They had a realistic chance of overhauling Australia's total for a while, but the inability of Sutcliffe and Tyldesley to up the ante eventually cost them as they ran out of overs to score the required number of runs from. Sutcliffe brought up his maiden Olympic century in the penultimate over of the match, by which time they needed an impossible 61 off the final over. He was dismissed off the final ball of the match by Bradman, who bowled just one over in the match to claim 1 for 1. Australia won by 59 runs to claim a hat-trick of Gold medals dating back to 1920, beating their previous best Gold-winning streak of two in 1900 and 1904. Great Britain finished with yet another Silver medal, their fifth overall and second since 1920. Bill Ponsford finished the tournament as it's leading run scorer with 247 runs at 61.75 and was declared Player of the Tournament. Jack Hobbs, the highest run scorer in the history of the Olympics, retired at the end of the tournament with 804 runs at an average of 57.43 from 19 matches over a 20-year career between 1908 and 1928.​
