LC Innsbruck - Cricket Time!!
From Jamaica to the world,
It's just love,
It's just love,
Yeah!...and this time it’s the Cricket World Cup 2007 which starts in Jamaica in March 2007.
After all the excitement experienced recently for the FIFA World Cup and having found out that the Cricket World Cup takes place next year, I thought of giving AIESEC Innsbruck my quick impressions into the world of cricket. Why to be ignorant right?..so read and enjoy :)
That’s how the main pitch of a cricket ground looks like:
Cricket is a sport with ‘N’ number of jargons (like AIESEC..hehe) and to name a few; bowled, ducked, hat trick, full toss, Howzat! etc. However, once you are familiar with these terms the sport is surely one of immense exquisiteness and depth. There’s no doubt that you are going to improve your English vocabulary if you get into this sport.
Countries participating are England, Scotland, Ireland, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, UAE, Canada and the Netherlands. 16 countries play the world cup, and the tough (meaning good) teams are Australia and South Africa, however, let’s see who makes it to the top .
There’s quite a bit of mathematics involved in this sport. You will come across calculations of the run rate, the batting average and what I normally calculated, were the number of ‘overs’ left and runs to made etc. :| afterall, I didn't require a calculator for that :D
Patience is a virtue…we know that through our AIESEC role call right? Watching cricket you will actually have the possibility to test your patience; after all, a match lasts for a whole day with the excitement growing every minute ;)
Just like the goal keepers in football, cricket has wicket keepers and there are always professional discussions around them, you know what I mean. Finally, meet ‘Mello’ the official mascot for the West Indies Cricket World Cup 2007.
