The 'ME' in the Team!

The heading says everything...

Is there an I in the Spelling of Team if not then why we're seeing it in Sports, Actually in Cricket...If there is no I in Team then why do the individual stats matter the most for a player or I can say for an International Player, Why does the Player play differently whenever he/she inching towards the personal milestones. When he/she is starting the innings it's too obvious he/she would take time to settle the things first 3-5 balls at least to settle the Butterflies in the stomach but after that we expect them to play freely or according to the match situation and they do play like the expectations but only till they enter in the milestoning zone it could be anything after 40 odd runs for a Fifty or after 90 or even sometimes after 85...they start to slow down the things for a milestone, to add another record in their tally. But does it really matter actually it does...it matters a lot otherwise they are not fools, A well-planned strategy of a good PR team.

This scenario is not only for batsmen but for bowlers too...they also start putting in the extra effort whenever they are close to their five-wicket hall but that's a very rare scenario and they can not control things like Batsmen. They shouldn't be blamed for this because Cricket is a batsmen's game nowadays, not a bowler's. We celebrate a Century more than a fiver by a bowler.

They say the big or great batsmen are the ones who are most selfish in the team, a batsman who's making a 45 in (20) balls and gets out is not getting that much of deserving respect in comparison to a player who is not out on 105 in (110) balls after the inning who is more valuable for a team, there could be many ifs and buts, this is how it is...Today we see what the broadcaster wants us to see or a well-trained PR team. Today every International has its social media manager, Player endorses tobacco brands, Grambling brands, and alcohol brands too but there is a question to ask whether they use it on their own. THE ANSWER IS BIG NO....and the rest is HISTORY

I don't know where it will stop or whether it will in the future, As Today it seems very unlikely...

The big hope : Associate Nations

  Associate Cricket Nation- Afghanistan, Netherlands, Ireland, Zimbabwe, and so on so.. . Associate nations are the new hope in the Cricket field as they are doing the job of regularly test-playing nations. There is a dominance of some 5-6 nations including India, which is currently riding high on the winning troat of its vulnerability and the players with their peak in the arc of their respective carriers. But does cricket have just limited itself to these nations or do the enthusiastic fans of cricket demand more, more participation, or more contests between bat and bowl. Currently, there is ICC Men's Cricket World Cup is going on in India and we have already witnessed some El Classicos some arch-rivals fighting for two points to keep them alive in blink changing points table, but we were aware of the fact that there are the things the going to take place as it is ICC CWC, in ICC there is a genuine contest between bat and bowl that what we want. But what we were not expectin...

Cricket with Choices !

  the choice menu of a Cricketer... Today Cricket needs no Introduction in the World, being A professional Cricketer or we can say an international Cricketer is a brand in itself, but does a cricketer become an international player with just his/her hard work and willpower, or is it completely a collective effort of that country's cricket board which provides it's all the resources all the infrastructure and guidance with time and money they invest in a player so that a player can play for its nation, in the national team to represent its country at the international level- So all the combined efforts of a player as well of a cricket board come to an end when the player plays his/her first international game in their senior team, till the time then everything seems to be a parallel mutual affair to both the bodies and it continues till the player becomes an individual brand and then the problem starts as the board thinks that it has carved a diamond that would serve his/her ser...

Broadcaster or Board

 Broadcaster or Board! Who is the real Boss? Broadcasters who are known as the soul of cricket, they are the ones who are trying to give some extravaganza dramatic view of cricket to viewers, Whether in the debates or some analysis of cricket done by them. They always try to pinch viewers with some small but useful things, whether it's their pitch report done just before the toss or the excited behind-scenes of cricketers which gives the viewer a sense of freshness in the overdose of cricket. But the question arises of who is running the cricket broadcasters or Cricket Boards now before anybody asks why this question arises they should know How this question arises because everything seems right at the moment but it is not, definitely not. Let's find out how!  No. 1 Today broadcasters decide the time of the match as what time it will be played- No. 2 Almost every big cricketing nation has broadcasters who decide how many matches will be played between the two teams in a bilate...
