(By R. Abbit)

Prior to 1904 the general control of all County Cricket was vested in the M.C.C, but in that year, presumably following the policy of decentralization that they had began in 1898 with the Test Match Control Board, they created the Advisory County Cricket Committee, to deal with cases arising out of County, or other cricket.
