Why is it that a sixty year old person is dressed up formally even though he is not really going out anywhere for lunch?

Why is it that a bunch of students are not opting to go out for any of their normal casual Saturday night hang out but are actually going on to some friend’s T.V. lounge?

Why is it that a housewife is not bustling around making food but is actually ordering food from outside and is actually sitting glued to the television set along with the entire family?

Well, the answer is quite simple. The answer is that cricket is one game that holds or binds the whole nation together. A sixty year old British person would also take out his best formal suit and then go out to the “Lords” and go on to watch the competitive “ASHES matches”. The youth would come together and eagerly watch the extremely suspense filled and nail biting match between India and Pakistan, or the Pakistan versus India T20 match. Whether it is the enthusiastic game of the South Africans or the complete madness of the Pakistan players, the bookish sort of a cricket of the players of England or the intricate professionalism of the Australians, the emotions of the Caribbean players or the passionate game of the Indians, the game of cricket is the winner amongst all the games that are played today. Cricket is the ideal ideology that brings together all the people.

The passion for cricket

The nations where the game of cricket is played have a passion as well as an obsession for this game. The people of these nations go around showing their possession for this sport. In South Africa, Australia as well as England you will find professional training as well as facilities at the grass root level for this game, however, things are a bit different in the subcontinent. A simple piece of wood which works as the bat and a really cheap tennis ball or even a really cheap plastic ball, a few bricks as well as tree stumps are the basic equipment that is available for children to play cricket with everywhere which includes places like extremely narrow paths of the big cities, roads, streets as well as dusty grounds.

This just goes out to prove the craze as well as the passion for cricket which is prevalent amongst people of all ages today.
