* [[Joseph of Exeter]] writes the first account of a sport resembling [[cricket]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/NATIONAL/ICC_MEMBERS/USA/HISTORYX.html|title=1300 YEARS of Cricket: 700 to 2000 AD|last=Das|first=Deb K.|date=22 November 2000|website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 June 2019|quote=Joseph of Exeter, in 1183, gives the first complete description of this co-ed community activity. A ball is thrown at (and hit by) a batter wielding a staff which looks like today's baseball bat...the batter protects a piece of wood, perhaps a log or tree-stump, resting on a gate-like stand(could this be the origin of the term "stumps" in modern cricket?)...fielders are positioned all around, squires in front of the "wicket" and serfs behind...... This sport has clearly been going on for some time, and Joseph of Exeter calls it a "merrye" weekend recreation.}}</ref>
