Indeed, sport did exist before the late 1800's, but it is very difficult to find anything more than anecdotal reports of any specific games.<BR/><BR/>Undoubtedly, future listings of all the test matches in Australia will list this year's events, and the statistics will be included in the Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901033347665903404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-91608826521595531482007-11-07T22:51:00.000-06:002007-11-07T22:51:00.000-06:00Mike and Mathew,I agree with you both.The point I ...Mike and Mathew,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you both.<BR/><BR/>The point I was trying to rise was photography in itself is a recent phenonmenon.<BR/><BR/>As such history as we say it has existed well before its advent.<BR/><BR/>In this case, Mikes assumption that this match will not be recorded in History is wrong per se.<BR/><BR/>There are other medias doing the same.Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904006.post-46796877386400700872007-11-07T22:01:00.000-06:002007-11-07T22:01:00.000-06:00The other difference between television (or radio)...The other difference between television (or radio) coverage of the match and newspaper/magazine coverage is that one is broadcasting the match where the other is reporting on the event.
