Question

Describe one way in which in the nineteenth century, technology brought about a change in equipment and give one example where no change in equipment took place.

Answer 1

One way in which in the nineteenth century, technology brought about a change in cricketing equipment was by the introduction of pads and protective gloves. These protective equipments came forth as a result of the invention of vulcanised rubber.

However, cricketing equipment has more or less remained the same. The bats, even today, are made of wood. Also, they are not factory manufactured, but made by hand.
