You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Events in world sport through the years 1771 to 1775.

==[[Boxing]]==
'''Events'''
* 18 May 1771 — British champion Bill Darts defeated by the Irishman Peter Corcoran at [[Epsom Downs Racecourse]] after seven minutes of the first round. Darts was later accused of accepting a bribe from Captain O'Kelly, a famous turfman, to lose the fight and was obliged to retire in disgrace from boxing.<ref name=Darts>((cite web |url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/darts-william.htm |title=Bill Darts |publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone |accessdate=21 July 2017))</ref><ref name=PC>((cite web |url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/corcoran.htm |title=Peter Corcoran |publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone |accessdate=21 July 2017))</ref>
* 1772 — [[Benjamin Brain|"Big Ben" Brain]] defeated Jack Clayton at [[Kingswood, South Gloucestershire|Kingswood]], the round and length of the fight are unknown.<ref name=BB>((cite web |url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/brain-benjamin.htm |title=Ben Brain |publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone |accessdate=16 January 2018))</ref> 
* 1773 — Harry Sellers won against minor opponents in many numerous fights until 1775, whereabouts unknown.<ref name=HS>((cite web |url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/sellers-harry.htm |title=Harry Sellers |publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone |accessdate=19 October 2017))</ref> 
* June 1774 — Corcoran is believed to have successfully defended the title on a number of occasions during the early 1770s but the only opponent who had any credibility was Sam Peters in June 1774 at [[Waltham Abbey (town)|Waltham Abbey]]. Corcoran won the fight in fifteen minutes after three rounds.<ref name=PC/>
* 1774 — "Big Ben" Brain defeated Bob Harris at Kingswood, the round and length of the fight are both unknown.<ref name=BB/>

==[[Cricket]]==
'''Events'''
* 1771 — the [[Nottingham Cricket Club|Nottingham]] v [[Sheffield Cricket Club|Sheffield]] match is the first known mention of cricket in [[Nottinghamshire]], even though the Nottingham club was already well-established.((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* 1771 — the [[Chertsey Cricket Club|Chertsey]] v [[Hambledon Club|Hambledon]] match at [[Laleham Burway]] was enlivened by a furious dispute when [[Thomas White (cricketer, born c. 1740)|Thomas "Daddy" White]] used an extra wide bat to completely obscure his wicket. The Hambledon players objected and a formal protest was written by bowler [[Thomas Brett (cricketer)|Thomas Brett]] and signed by himself, [[Richard Nyren]] and [[John Small (cricketer)|John Small]]. It brought about a change in the ''[[Laws of Cricket]]'', as confirmed in 1774, whereby the maximum width of the bat is set at four and one quarter inches (the Law is extant).((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* 1772 — detailed scorecards became commonplace and this marked the beginning of "[[first-class cricket]]" as a ''statistical'' concept.((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* 1773 — a [[grandstand]] was erected on two occasions at [[Bourne Paddock]], possibly the first time these structures are known to have been used.((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* 1774 — the ''[[Laws of Cricket]]'' were revised by a committee meeting at the ''Star and Garter'' on [[Pall Mall, London|Pall Mall]] in London. This version of the Laws includes [[leg before wicket]] (lbw) and the maximum width of the bat.((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* May 1775 — demands for a third [[stump (cricket)|stump]] were voiced after a [[single wicket cricket|single wicket]] match at the [[Artillery Ground]] in which [[Lumpy Stevens]] beat [[John Small (cricketer)|John Small]] at least three times only for the ball to pass through the [[wicket]], still made of two uprights and a crosspiece, without disturbing it. Although the petition was granted soon afterwards, research has discovered that the introduction of the third stump in practice was gradual and the two-stump wicket continued for a number of years yet.((citation needed|date=July 2017))
* 13 July 1775 — [[John Small (cricketer)|John Small]] scored 136 [[not out]] for [[Hampshire county cricket teams|Hampshire]] ''versus'' [[Surrey county cricket teams|Surrey]] at [[Broadhalfpenny Down]], the earliest definite [[century (cricket)|century]] in [[first-class cricket]].<ref>Haygarth, p. 25.</ref>
