Cricket is a very unknown sport in our country, so today I decide to tell you a little about how to play cricket, its rules, positions and some technical details that I hope you like. So, let's go there! Cricket is a sport that originated in England and is currently widespread in Asia as we have told you in previous posts of this blog. For those of you who are not experts, it may seem a little complicated, but once you understand it, it is even simpler than football or basketball. If you want to know how to play cricket, the first thing you have to know is that it is a game that needs a lot of patience. The matches can last up to 28 hours. Even in some cases there is a break for tea. PLAYING FIELD The playing field in which cricket is practiced is oval, with a rectangular space in the center, which is called a court. To learn how to play cricket you have to be very attentive to this area, since that is where all the action is generated. At first sight the field where c

They are virtues that were part of the "moral code" that, according to the cricket historian Brian Stoddart, was tried to transmit to the British colonies through cricket. The game is intimately related to the colonial past of Great Britain, to such an extent that The International Cricket Council (ICC), governing body of the sport, was created in 1909 under the initial name of The Imperial Cricket Conference. (Despite the existence of the ICC, the authority responsible for defining the rules of the game is the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), based in the mythical London stadium, Lord's.) The 10 full members of the ICC (Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe), each directly linked to the British Empire, compete in so-called test matches, whose Long duration - up to five days - highlights the need to possess the values ​​of patience and mind control cited by Gale, although it should be noted that t

During my stay in Spain, a comment I've often heard about British culture is this: What the hell is cricket? If you consult it in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy you will find the following definition: "Ball game that is practiced with wooden pallets". Meanwhile, in his book Education of Leisure and Free Time with Alternative Physical Activities, Manuel Martínez Gámez Mara gives us a little more detail: "Cricket is a sport of English origin, which is played outdoors between two teams of eleven players / as, with bats, balls and rakes ". It has become clear…? Do not? The fact is that summarizing the fundamentals of the game is almost impossible without writing a minitose. And perhaps that's why the famous British lexicographer, Samuel Johnson, did not include a definition of cricket in his first dictionary of the English language, which was published in 1755 - more than a decade after the first official regulations of the game were esta

Today we are going to talk to you about a curiosity, about which are the largest stadiums in the world. We start: 1.- Stadium Reungado Primero de Mayo (150,000 spectators) And we get to number one and we find this monster from North Korea located on Pungra Island, the largest stadium in the world with more or less 150,000 spectators. The stadium has 8 floors and has a peculiar shape, as it has a flower shape. It was only built in two and a half years and opened in May 1989. In this giant stadium the North Korean soccer team plays. 2.- Yuva Bharati Krirangan (120,000 spectators) It is the largest stadium in India and the second largest in the world, located in Calcutta. It was built in 1984 and there are still disputed matches of the National Football Team of India, along with several teams of the Indian League. It is a multi-purpose stadium, since athletics events are also held venue of PSL 2018 . 3.- Estadio Azteca (102,963 spectators) And we entered the top 3 with

In terms of income, I share some examples of what tournaments and cricket leagues enter the year for sponsorships and television rights: The "Premier League India" receives about $ 165 million dollars, followed by some international tournaments with $ 68 million, the English league $ 66 million and Australia $ 57 million. In India, the main sponsor of cricket is the financial sector, followed by telecommunications and non-alcoholic beverages. PEPSI is one of the main sponsors of the "Indian Premier League" and pays for this $ 14 million dollars per year. In addition, this league has the support of other companies such as Vodafone and Yes Bank. Something attractive will see these brands in a population of one thousand 200 million people where cricket is the national sport. In the leagues like the English, the Australian and the New Zealand, the main sponsors are banks, brewers and car manufacturers. We can find other sponsoring sectors such as the British superm

It is evident that soccer is the sport with the most fans in the world, with approximately 3 thousand 500 million fans. But although it sounds very unfamiliar, the second sport with the most followers is cricket, with approximately 2.5 billion. This unique sport generates millions of dollars in sponsorships and is present in some countries in Europe, Oceania and the bulk in Asia ... I tell you about this: Cricket is a sport similar to baseball, where they play 11 vs 11 and throw a ball to which the opponent must hit him with a shovel, looking to run to the other end and completing a race. This sport originated in England several hundred years ago and by the 18th century it was already the most popular sport in the country. Later with the epoch of colonial expansion, England exported its practice to the countries it dominated. Currently cricket is played in England, Wales, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and some other Caribbea

  Tennis - Australian Open The tennis year 2017 was marked by the return to the foreground of the legendary duo Federer-Nadal. Two grand slams each, five Masters 1000 out of nine between them, No. 1 (Rafa) and 2 (Rodger) world ... Do not throw more, the cup is full! A year after their memorable final in Melbourne (which was also the game of the year), the two grandpas return to Australia . If Nadal , 31, looks a little worse physically (cursed knee), Federer, 36, has a beautiful form at the Hopman Cup. Djokovic, Wawrinka, Murray and Raonic are still convalescent but like fast surfaces like the Australian Open. If we do not despair of seeing our Musketeers (+ Puglia), boosted by victory in the Davis Cup, create the sensation, Goffin and Dimitrov seem better armed than the Blues to afford their first grand slam. For the girls, pending the return of Marion Bartoli, we put more on Caroline Garcia than on Kristina Mladenovic, who remains on 13 consecutive defeats. European women&#

Although the FIFA World Cup is THE most anticipated competition of the year, it should not overshadow other major events that will make 2018 an exceptionally memorable year (yes, just that) The Winter Olympic Games Flag bearer of the French delegation, King of the biathlon Martin Fourcade is aiming for no less than six medals in South Korea. Around the district of Pyeongchang, other athletes will try to shine in alpine skiing (Alexis Pinturault, Tessa Worley), figure skating (we really bets on the dance duo Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron), freestyle skiing, snowboarding, skating speed ... We also look forward to the feats of the famous duo Philippe Candeloro-Nelson Montfort to the comments of the skating competitions pakistan super league team 2018.
