Tas satan) "Ny DrJ.Manohar Chendur Pandi SPORTS BULLETIN Sweat-fit-feel Vol:1, No:4 Editors View –Best Sporting Moment of the Month Health is not valued til sickness comes From an Improvised Pastime to International Sport. The Story of Blind Cricket Mr. M.Marimuthu, Second M.A. English Literature, Sport Analyst, Udumalpet It was the autumn of 1877. The place was St Kilda Road in Melbourne, Australia. No one was aware of a historic event taking place. No… no.. I am not talking about the first test match played between a combined Australian xi and a touring English team. I’m talking about a less well- known event that eventually changed many lives years later. A group of men are playing an improvised game of cricket with borrowed wickets, a donated bat and a cricket ball made of crushed kerosene tin with rocks inside them. Bannerman, Spofforth, Murdoch and Dave Gregory loved the exciting game of cricket, but their lack of sight prevented them from witnessing the first international cricket match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Their lack of sight did not allow them to play the sport as well. So, they improvised with whatever things they had. They beat a kerosene can into a ball like shape and put rocks inside to hear the sound. Knowingly or unknowingly, their version of cricket laid the foundation to blind cricket. Their version of cricket soon attracted the attention of destressed family members and staff of the local asylum for the blind. Since the ball was made of kerosene can, a blow to the face resulted in serious injuries for these brave blind men. Yet they did not stop playing the game. Soon, the cane wicker ball was invented to minimize their injuries. There on blind cricket took off in Australia. The cane wicker ball caused no injuries, so it enabled the creation of formal cricket matches. The Cane Wicker ball was used till 1974. The first blind cricket association was formed in Victoria in 1922. The first inter-state blind cricket match was held between Victoria and South Australia during the Easter of 1926. The Australian National Blind Cricket Council was formed in 1953. The same year, the first national championship was held for blind cricket teams in Australia. The game of blind cricket is modified from the normal version. Like a normal cricket team, a blind cricket team consists of 11 players. But the team combination is different. As per the official rules, a blind cricket team must have at least 4 totally blind players, also classified as (B1s), and 3 partially blind players (b2s) and up to 4 partially sighted players (b3s.) 2 SPORTS BULLETIN Sweat-fit-feel Vol:1, No:4 The wish for healing has always been half of the Health From an Improvised Pastime to International Sport. The Story of Blind Cricket The ball used in blind cricket is bigger than the usual cricket ball. The black nylon ball was introduced in 1974 in Australia. The hard white plastic ball was first introduced in 2003-04 in Australia. It was later adopted internationally. The size allows the partially sighted players to see it. The content inside, also known as ball bearings, allows the blind players to hear it. The stump is larger as well. The metal stump is painted in bright colours, so that the partially sighted players can see it. Verbal feedback is an important part of blind cricket. A bowler must ask whether the batter is ready before delivering the ball underarm. The rule also states that the player must respond with yes or no. Then the bowler must say “Play!” as he is releasing the ball. If the bowler fails or is too late to say that, the ball is deemed as a no ball. It is also noted that the ball must pitch twice before reaching the batter. Totally blind players, also known as (b1s) are given extra benefits. While fielding, a totally blind person is allowed to dismiss a batter by catching the ball even after it pitches once. They are also allowed to opt for a runner while batting. If a b1 batter hits a 4, he is given 8 runs. If he hits a six, he is given 12 runs. The first national level championship was held in India in 1992. Four years later, the World Blind Cricket Council (Wbcc) was formed. The first world cup for the blind was held in India 2 years later. The event was widely advertised. Even Sachin was included in video promos about the event. South Africa won the final by beating Pakistan. The first international test match was played between Pakistan and South Africa in 2000. The Pakistan National Men’s Blind Cricket Team won the next 2 world cups in 2002 and 2006 by beating South Africa and India respectively. The Indian team won the next 2 world cup finals by beating Pakistan in 2014 and 2018. The first T20 world cup was held in Bangalore in 2012. India beat Pakistan and won the first ever title. Five years later, India beat Pakistan at the 2nd T20 world cup to defend the title. India has also won the T20 Asia cup in 2016 by beating Pakistan in the finals. Though the Indian Blind Cricket Team has won more world cups than their sighted counterparts, they have not been noticed by people. They are largely not aware of these great achievements. Blind cricket is not televised. The events are not written about in newspapers enough. A typical Indian kid knows about Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik but not Deepak Malik. I have been fortunate enough to play this beautiful game in my school days. I have fond memories of the fours and sixers I hit. Rough falls and blows I suffered while playing this game are the meddles I carry proudly within myself. This version of the game has given many wonderful days to many people like me. While most of us played just for fun and enjoyment, others have gone on to the bigger stage to make the country proud. It has been a tool used by us to forget our differences. It has been used by us to show our grit and dedication. It has given hope and motivation to face the next day. To think that it is all because of the 4 bored and crazy blind dudes from Australia and the autumn of 1877 is profoundly beautiful. 3 SPORTS BULLETIN Sweat-fit-feel Vol:1, No:4 Champions keep playing until they get it Being an Athlete Is Not So Easy A. Parameshwari, 2nd M.A. English Literature, Government Arts College, Udumalpet I am here to share about my favourite part of my life with you. That is none other than Athletics.

Further it included running competitions, but the introduction of the Ancient Olympic pentathlon marked a step towards track and field as it is recognised today.

It is prepared under the guidance of the Chief Economic Adviser • Last year, for the first time, the government presented a mid-term economic survey in the month of August. • Economic Survey reviews the developments in the Indian economy over the previous 12 months, summarizes the performance on major development programs, and highlights the policy initiatives of the government and the prospects of the economy in the short to medium term. • The 2017-18 document tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament. • The theme for the Economic Survey 2017-18 was pink, apparently to confront Indian society’s notorious preference for sons, and the gender injustice faced by women.
