Post Re: Why cricket is so popular?
Hello friends

The IPL fever is in its full intensity in India these days. IPL and its probable winner is one of the hottest topics of discussion here. Many people are of the view that it is one of the best things that ever happens to the game of cricket. In fact IPL has become so popular worldwide that Australian Captain Ricky Ponting had to issue an appeal to his countrymen to focus more on their national team’s recent series with West Indies than to watch their retired cricketers perform in IPL. The entire IPL tournament is being broadcast in Australia as free-to-air and it has become a huge craze.

Thanks to all friends

Cricket was originated in England and if you look around you can clearly notice the fact that cricket is only famous in the countries which were under British rule. That is Australia, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

But....that is not the only reason why cricket is so popular in these countries. The game of cricket had all the ingredients in it to become a excellent sport to play.

1. It requires skill and it's a enjoyable process to acquire those skills.
--------------------------------------…
2. It teaches patience and composure.
--------------------------------------…
3. Cricket is a good game to improve your social skills because when you are getting runs, your team mates cheer for you so that you feel like you belong.
--------------------------------------…
4. Cricket keeps your mind alert with deciding how you're going to bowl, where you're going to hit the ball, if you have time for another run and whether you can get there in time to catch the ball

In the end........we all know how fun it is to smash the ball down the ground or to rip off the middle stump of the batsman.

Hi guys

There are other sports like soccer, hockey, basketball, wrestling, Tennis, and so on but it seem that no other sport is as popular than cricket where cricket is played. With so much technical stuff, interference of the climate, time consuming and not cheap either. So why so many people are just crazy about cricket? Your take?

Thanks for all friends
