An Exciting Cricket Match I witnessed
8:02 AM Paragraphs No comments
Cricket is one of the most popular and exciting outdoor sports. Some of us get the opportunity to play first class cricket, but there are millions who enjoy seeing it being played. It gives us moments of leisure and pleasure and fills us with a competitive spirit. I witnessed the demonstration of the greatest excitement and determination at Mirpur Stadium, Dhaka.
It was a fine day. A large number of people including men, women and children from all walks of life gathered there to enjoy the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan. To be a good sports team, one has to be aggressive and this was shown in the final between the two teams. Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat first. Tamim Iqbal and Junaed Siddique were sent as openers. It was a right decision by the captain, because Tamim Iqbal slammed the ball over the field. It was due to his hard hitting that Bangladesh achieved a good start. Junaed Siddique was very careful and most of the time simply obstructed. But as time passed, he grasped the strategy of the bowlers and began to fully support Tamim. He completed his half-century by playing keen and beautiful shots. After him, Tamim Iqbal could not steadily face the bowlers and proceeded towards the pavilion in a short time. However Sakib Al Hasan made a stand and was able to increase the score to 218. Mohammad Asraful and Musfiq Rahim played a beautiful inning and Bangladesh team snatched a total of 269 for 8. This terrifying score marked down the morals of the Pakistan Team. They made a poor start, as their first wicket fell when the score was only ten. However, their middle order batsmen kamral Akmal made a great effort and cheered the Pakistan Team. Also Imran Najir and Mezbaul Haque shown their extra ordinary Performance. However, when Sakib Al Hasan came to bowl, the hopes of Bangladesh team revived. He bowled extraordinary well and just after 5 overs, the Pakistan team had

    All of us know about baseball since it is America’s game, but many of us have no idea what cricket is. The sports are very similar yet very different. A former U.S. ambassador to Britain once said, “Even Americans living in England usually find it easier to become a practicing Buddhist than a cricket fan”. This statement shows just how different the two sports are. Comparing and contrasting the two sports would be very intriguing, so that is what I’m going to do today.…

    West Indian Culture

    Cricket today, as it has been said many times, is not what it used to be. Unfortunately many young West Indians know very little of what is once was and what it stood for, they take for granted the techniques and its origins. The level of West Indies cricket has been diluted due to the increase of tourism and fast paced games. However there are many West Indians who hold strong to the fact that cricket is part of our culture and heritage. This archipelago in the Americas has produced many fine cricketers throughout the years. The Caribbean is a unique multicultural and multiethnic region; the majority of the population was forced to migrate after the original inhabitants faced almost complete annihilation. The survivors were at no level to repopulate the Caribbean. As a result there was no previous pattern for the new comers to follow; they had to create their own. West Indians had to develop their own religion, food, politics, art and essentially their entire culture. Cricket was one such aspect, though not their own, over time they moulded and shaped it into what it is today. Cricket came to the West Indies via the English military that were deployed to defeat Napoleon’s west India project and to suppress uprisings, they played the game during their free time, which was relaxing and reminded them of home. The game was introduced as a means of portraying the high statute that was English. During the Victorian age the English empire was at its peak, it had expanded considerably and was proud of its successes, she deemed herself as superior in commerce, morals and race. At this time the only thing that was missing was cricket, Lord Harris, a colonial administrator saw cricket as a method of teaching discipline, loyalty and acceptance of decisions in order to consolidate the empire.…

    When Bangladesh won he explained, “Yeah, it did not go that well. We got off to a good start. (Adam) Gilchrist gave us a good start and he did it (by playing) over the top. But we lost our way in the middle of the innings, and as I said on that day, chasing can be difficult in these conditions, particularly as the wicket becomes slower and lower as the match goes on. The spinners did their part well,"…

    A tall, lissome and athletic 17-year-old young man from Chelsea Road in Bay Land, Barbados was once picked as a fast bowler to represent the West Indies Test team. By today's standards, he would have been thought too young to have a glass of red wine much less be handed a red ball to pelt at batsmen in international cricket. Unsurprisingly, in his first match at Sabina Park, like most fast bowlers, he was placed in the lower order to bat, specifically at number nine in the lineup. At the end of a career spanning 18 years for West Indies, this young man played 93 matches in all. Interestingly, that first match turned out to be the first and last…
