    Compare And Contrast Baseball And Cricket Essay

    Instead of throwing the ball straight to the Catcher, the bowler skips the ball to the catcher and the batter attempts to hit the ball. Cricket has over 30 places a defender could place themselves, but, only 11 defenders are allowed on the field at one time (Cricket Rules). There are only two bases on the field, including home plate. A cricket field is usually oval in shape and 450 plus feet in every direction of the batter including behind the player (Cricket Rules). Cricket batters use bats with a small oval handle with a wide flat barrel to make it easier to hit the ball. Defenders do not use gloves because the players need to be quick and a baseball style glove would slow the player down and make it difficult to field the ball Cricket Rules).…

    Tupac vs Biggie Essay Example

    To gaze into the lyrics of both Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur is like living in the ghettos of New York City where violence never stops. Both of these artists grew up seeing and living a life filled with violence. Gunshots and drive-byes, death and murder were a daily occurrence. Although the lyrics of both artists are simply telling their life stories and how hard it was to grow up in their “hoods” they contain vulgar, hateful, and sexual verses that send the wrong message to their listeners. Whether these listeners are teens or adults, white or black, they are continually sending notions of hatred and fear through their lyrics and actions. Ultimately, their lyrics, actions, and creation of the East coast West coast rivalry began promoting violence to whoever hears, listens, or watches them.…

    Goal Line Techology in Soccer

    The topic that I have chosen to discuss in my research paper is the emergence of the use of video technology in sports in recent years. During our lifetimes, information and computer technologies have significantly changed the world. The major technological revolution has had a very profound effect on contemporary sports over the last twenty years (Reilly, 2006). Therefore, the use of different types of technology has become important in recent years due to the fact that sports contain moments in which there are mistakes made by referees and officials. The introduction of technology regarding these sports in recent years has helped to eradicate a number of these errors. The specific type of technology that is going to be discussed in this research paper is the use of video technology in relation to the potential introduction of goal line technology in soccer.…

    West Indian Culture

    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.…
