The reasons for the changes in clothing pattern and materials year as follows:
(i) The spread of democratic ideals: Before French Revolution in France. Sumptuary laws regulated the wearing of clothes in French society. for example, only royalty could wear expensive materials like ermine and fur. The French Revolution ended these distinction. Now both men and women began wearing loose and confrontable clothes. The colours of France blue, white and red – – became popular as they were_ sign of the patriotic citizens. The simplicity of clothing expressed the idea of equality. In England, too with the development of suffrage movement, there was campaign for dress reform.
(ii) colonisation of most of the world by Europe: colonisation also brought changes in clothing pattern and materials. For example, when Indian came under British control, many people adopted some elements of western-style clothing in their dress.
(iii) The growth of an industrial society : As a result of Industrial revolution, Britain began the mass manufacture of cotton textiles. It was exported to many parts of the world including India. Cotton clothes became more accessible to a wider section of people in Europe too. This brought changes in the clothing patterns and materials of the clothes as people could use style and materials drawn from other cultures and countries.

(a) Test cricket is a unique game and different from other team games. The social and economic history of England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Shaped the game and gave cricket its unique nature as given below:
(i) Five days match can end in a draw in cricket. A football match is generally over in an hour-and-a-half of playing time. Even the baseball completes nine innings in less than half the time of one day international cricket match.
(ii) In cricket the length of the pitch is specified. It is 22 yards but the size or shape of the ground is not specified. Grounds can be oval or circular. Other team sports, such as hockey and football lay down the dimensions of the playing area. For example in cricket the ground at the Adelaide is oval or nearly circular in Chepauk in Chennai.
(b) The peculiarities of Test cricket are shaped by its historical beginnings as a village game as given below:
(i) Length of a Test match: Originally, the cricket matches had no time limit. The game went on for as long as it took to bowl out a side twice. The rhythms of village life were slower and cricket’s rules were made before the Industrial Revolution. on the other hand the rules of other games like football and hockey were made after the industrial revolution and, therefore, were strictly time-limited to fit the routines of industrial city life.
(ii) Vagueness about the size of a cricket ground: It is also a result of its village origins’ cricket was originally played on country commons unfenced land that was public property. The size of the commons varied from on village to another so there were no designated boundaries or boundary hits. Even after boundaries written into the laws of cricket, their distance from the wicket was not specified. The laws simply lay down that ,the umpire shall agree with both captains on the boundaries of the playing area’.
(iii) Game’s equipment: The game’s equipment has its origins in rural England and it has remained so even now. Cricket’s most important tools are all made of natural, pre- industrial materials. The bat, the stumps and the. bails are made of wood. The ball is made with leather, twine and cork. Even today, both bat and bait are handmade, not industrially manufactured.

(a) Open field system: It implies that in large parts of England, the countryside was open. It was not partitioned into enclosed lands privately owned by landlords. Peasants cultivated on strips of land around the village they lived in. At the beginning of each year, a public meeting was held to allocate a number of strips to cultivate to each villager. These strips were of different quality and in different places. The effort was to ensure that every villager got
good as well as bad land. Beyond these strips of cultivation lay the common land. All villagers had access to the commons. For the poor, the common land was essential for survival. It supplemented their meagre income, sustained their cattle, and helped them tide over bad times when crops failed.
(b) Open field system and a rich farmer: The open field system was not useful for rich farmers because they did not have a compact land which could increase their income. The land was not privately owned by them. Since 16th century, the rich farmers wanted to expand wool production to earn profits. They were eager to control large areas of land in compact blocks to allow improved breeding of sheep. So they began dividing and enclosing common land and building hedges around their holdings. They drove out villagers who had small cottages on the commons. They prevented the poor from entering the enclosed fields.

(a) Causes: The colonial government wanted to transform all grazing land into
cultivated land to increase its revenue. It could at the same time produce more jute, cotton, wheat and other agricultural produce that were required in England. Such land that produced neither produce nor revenue was considered ‘waste land’.
(b) Effects on the lives of pastoralists: By these rules uncultivated lands were taken over and given to select individuals. These individuals were granted various concessions and encouraged to settle on these lands. Some of them were made headmen of villages in the newly cleared areas. In most areas the lands taken over were actually grazing tracts used regularly by pastoralists. So expansion of cultivation inevitably meant the decline of pastures and a problem for pastoralists.
