Cricket at the Summer Olympics
Cricket was originally scheduled to be included in the inaugural 1896 Summer Olympics, which were held in Athens; cricket would have been the only team sport held at the Games. There were, however, insufficient entries and so no event was held.
George Buckley (cricketer, born 1875)
George J. Buckley (20 May 1875 – 14 February 1955) was a member of the gold medal winning Great Britain cricket team at the 1900 Summer Olympics, the only time cricket has featured at the Olympic Games. In the only match against France, Buckley scored two runs in the first innings and did not bat in the second.
