Generally, I watch cricket matches on the television screen. But recently there took place at the Eden Gardens, Calcutta and one-day cricket match, for which my elder brother purchased two tickets, one for him and the other for me. I was glad, as I shall have now an opportunity to see the players with my own eyes in the field.
The match was to be held between India and West Indies. The game began in time. The players of both the teams walked as heroes into the field. There was tremendous joyful clapping in the auditorium. The Umpires took their respective positions. The toss decided which of the teams was going first to the batting; and the luck was in favour of West Indies. I am a great fan of Viv Richards and Malcolm Marshall of the West Indies team. On the Indian side, my favourites are Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and Sachin Tendulker. Recently, I have begun to like Azaruddin, too.
All these cricketers were now before my eyes playing in the field. It was amusing, indeed. The game continued with great excitement. The West Indies team scored 237 runs for 9 wickets before the break. During the break, we had light tiffin. My brother bought some sandwiches. A vendor supplied us coffee.
The game resumed soon after the break. Kapil Dev's fine bowling took all the remaining crickets. After the West Indies completed their turn by securing 289 runs, the Indian team began their batting with Srikant and Azaruddin. They were steady and scored 97 runs within a very short time. They seemed to be intentionally slow and very steady in their

    Cricket is played in a large open circular field and consisted of two sides each containing eleven players that would attempt to "put out" the batsman. The batsman tries to prevent a ball thrown by a "bowler" from knocking over "bales" placed on three upright sticks. If the batsman makes contact with the ball, he runs to the opposite side of the "pitch" and continues running back and forth until the ball is retrieved by the opposing…

    When Ms. first announced our assignment the first day, I had a feeling of excitement. Even though I’m not the best at giving speeches, I still wanted my fellow classmates to know the real me. Because I came from a different background from everyone else, I had a little something to share with everyone about my culture, lifestyle, interests, hobbies, and of course, my all-time favorite sport, Cricket. I went home that day with a million questions for my parents. They told me about my home country and the Indian Punjabi lifestyle that I was unaware of for 18 years; I was extremely fascinated when I found out where I came from and how I would have lived if I was back in India. The dressing style, the music and dance, art, food, rituals and even the daily lives of Punjabis was pretty impressive. My mother showed me old pictures of me when I was small wearing the traditional Punjabi dress but I didn’t want to bring those pictures to class because I thought it would be slightly embarrassing but now I regret; I think it would have been a little more interesting if would! I gathered all my old pictures with my parents and my relatives from India when I was small, along with some from my high school years, and all my cricket gear. It was great looking at old pictures and remembering the past years of my life. However, I was more excited to share my interest for Cricket because it…

    India, a country where Cricket is a religion, a very serious business. We are the same multi –faceted group that celebrate the cricketers when they win and throw stones at their houses if they lose. With the recent test series debacle and under immense criticism from the media and critics, The Indian team under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni is preparing for the ODI series against the same side that had beaten them in all departments fair and square. The captain who was one of the very few who had actually performed with the bat, the second highest run getter for India in the series, has been held responsible for the defeat. Being an ardent Dhoni fan from his long hair days and a very true admirer of his batting, his ability to remain calm in tough times, his attitude to fight till the last ball and of course his leadership skills, the recent series defeat after going 1-0 up with a massive victory at Lords (Supposedly, The Home of Cricket) made me inquisitive as to what could have gone wrong with his decisions and tactics.…

    Pakistan defeated India in the previous two ODIs and were all set to clean sweep the series. India won the toss and decided to bat first but the poor batting form continued as they managed a total of only 167 runs from 43.4 overs. Due to lack of form, Virender Sehwag had been dropped from the playing eleven and Ajinkya Rahane was selected as Gautam Gambhir’s new opening partner. But he could not prove his worth as he added only 4 runs while Gambhir made 15. The out of form Virat Kohli also struggled and returned to the pavilion with 7 runs to his name. The man who scored the highest for India was yet again the skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He scored 36 runs from 55 balls and also hit 3 huge sixes. Apart from him, Yuvraj Singh(23), Suresh Raina(31) and Ravindra Jadeja(27) tried to show some fight. All the Pakistan bowlers had a good outing but Saeed Ajmal had a great one with a 5-wicket haul to his name conceding only 24 runs from 9.4 overs that he bowled.…

    Cricket! Cricket! Cricket! Cricket has become the religion of India and the national anthem of the country, so much so that the word “sports” has become synonymous with cricket. Cricket runs as the life flowing blood through the veins of the multitude. The madness with which it has gripped the ignoramus masses of our country is evident from their complete capitulation to its god-like worship.…

    The last time the two met in Tests, they could not have had more disparate days. Defending a 1-0 series lead, Mathews embraced an extreme form of conservatism and his team drowned in it on the final day in Sharjah. With no choice but to launch an unrelenting attack, Misbah kept his side in the match long enough, until after a whirl of bludgeoned drives and reverse-sweeps from way outside leg stump, he hit the winning run to complete a frenetic victory.…
