As I watched the players playing thier game with all the time of their life on thier hands,I wondered how rich the game and its participants must be.Golf is a game which gives meaning to what cornucopia is.Abundabt area of well maintained grassland,spanning the equivalent of around 10 to 15 football fields,very slowly paced game with an entirely different attitude amongst the players and the cool-headed spectators walking miles along the track not knowing where they or the game was headed;all these factors contributed to its uniqueness.
But as my mind was glorifying these thoughts about golf,my heart had a different story to say.It pined only for one game ..that was Cricket-The only game both my heart and mind accept with no arguments. I wondered why I prefered cricket to other games.
I figured out that Cricket is a game which was fast paced when compared to Golf,yet was not so short as a game of Basketball or soccer.It was different from most of the games by the fact that It did not involve much of a direct physical contact between it the opponents!Every player had a unique role to play at one point of the game or another,but is also expected to be on the watch out during the entire game.Compared to the other games,the amount of sweating/tire factor involved seemed to be less for the players,yet it raised the flow of adrenaline to both the players and the spectators!The instances of injury to the players are anyday less on a cricket field when compared to the Soccerfield or the American football game.More than all these,the entertainment offered to the audience is unmatchable.At the end of a days game of cricket,although there is an official winner of the game,nobody returns home a loser.Nothing else can satiate my hunger for entertainment when it comes to lying on my sofa the whole day watching a one day game of cricket.I am sure there are many others who would concur with me.
