Dean Jones Opens up on Coaching Babar Azam The Business | SPOTRhursdTay , SMarch 260, 26020 Forms of cricket you can play while staying at home he novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has halted every major sporting activ - ity, including cricket, as the world figThts to counter the spread of the infectious disease. The pandemic has completely upended lives across the planet, restricting movement, shut - ting schools and forcing millions to work from home. An estimated 900 million people are now confined to their homes in 35 countries around the world — including 600 million hemmed in by obligatory government lock - down orders — according to an AFP tally. So how can cricket fans quench their thirst for the game during these testing times? Here are four forms of cricket you can eas - ily paly with your family members and, more importantly, within the confines of your home. Backyard Cricket: As the name suggests, you can play cricket in your backyard with a given set of rules that matches your physical environment. A well-known rule of this form of cricket is ‘one hand, one bounce’ where a batsman who has hit the ball into the ground, but it has only bounced once, can still be given out caught, but only if the fielder catches the ball with one hand. You can also be given out if you hit the ball over the fence. If both teams have even number of players and there is one extra person, he is considered Jack player. Jack is part of both teams. Jack is required field in both innings, but he is not allowed bowl. However, he is allowed to bat on both side of the team. French Cricket: French Cricket is more popular among kids and is an ideal form of cricket that can include children of varied ages. There is only one batsman, and their ob - jective is to not be dismissed by the other par - ticipants — who are fielders, or a bowler if they have possession of the ball — for as long as possible. The objective of the other partici - pants is to dismiss the batsman. There are only two methods of dismissal, being caught or being "Leg Before Wicket", but as there are no stumps, this method of dismissal is effected by a bowled ball hitting the batsman's legs typi - cally below the knees. Once the batsman is popular with school children in India, Pakistan digit of the right-side (even-numbered) page is can resort to playing video games on your per - hand rub.

    Firstly, I am very thankful to my parents who helped me as they bought some useful stationary items for my project work. I am also thankful to my PHYSICAL EDUCATION subject teacher MR.VIJAY SIR who provided such a nice topic to make a project on it. I had taken reference from “ENCARTA EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE and also from INTERNET”. INTRODUCTION:- Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 players on a field, at the centre of which is a rectangular 22-yard long pitch. One team bats, trying to score as many runs as possible while the other team bowls and fields, trying to dismiss the batsmen and thus limit the runs scored by the batting team. A run is scored by the striking batsman hitting the ball with his bat, running to the opposite end of the pitch and touching the crease there without being dismissed. The teams switch between batting and fielding at the end of an innings. In professional cricket the length of a game ranges from 20 overs of six bowling deliveries per side to Test cricket played over five days. The Laws of Cricket are maintained by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) with additional Standard Playing Conditions for Test matches and One Day Internationals. Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed into the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to cricket being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international matches were being held.

  • The Importance of Cricket to the West Indian People R
    THE IMPORTANCE OF CRICKET TO THE WEST INDIAN PEOPLE R. M. Austin When I speak of the Caribbean in this article, I mean the English-speaking Caribbean or the West Indies, as it has been called historically. The distinction is necessary. For cricket is now being played and has been played for quite some time in a number of non-English speaking countries in the wider Caribbean. Cricket is even played these days, as I have discovered during my tour of duty, in the People’s Republic of China! And Afghanistan has a thriving Cricket Association. In fact, immediately after the defeat of the Taliban, cricket was played again with great zeal and enthusiasm. In other words, cricket is a powerful social force. This is particularly true of the Caribbean. The importance of cricket to the West Indian peoples is beyond doubt and speculation, as there is a substantial literature, written by West Indians of the highest intellectual calibre, the most important of whom must be Mr. C. L. R. James, who have validated the thesis that there is an intimate nexus between the historical development of the English-speaking Caribbean and the social forces which are contained within the game of cricket. It must be said that there has never been any major survey to the best of my knowledge of the Caribbean people as to their love of the game; but full stands and an intelligent assessment of the game testify to its hold on the people of the English-speaking Caribbean. In any case, no one has come forward to invalidate the thesis of James and the others who have followed him in his analysis of cricket, such as Professor Hilary Beckles and the late Tim Hector.

  • Bats, Balls, Nets and Walls Games and Activities That Focus on Teaching Games for Understanding by Robert Matheson, CIRA Ontario
    Bats, Balls, Nets and Walls Games and Activities that focus on Teaching Games for Understanding By Robert Matheson, CIRA Ontario Background There is a fundamental shift in thinking about Physical Education in Canada. The ultimate goal is to stop teaching sports as the end goal. Instead the focus should be on the students. We should be helping them develop an interest in a healthy, active life. This is done by teaching a variety of games and sports and focusing on the strategies of the game not on mastery of the skills and winning the game. The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach has been around since the 1980s. It was recently used as the foundation of the new Ontario H&PE curriculum. One of the main benefits of this approach is that students get active quickly by playing the game instead of practicing skills. Students will naturally develop skills and strategic knowledge from playing the game. Games can be played in smaller groups of students with similar abilities. A strength of this approach is that games often have tactics, rules, and skills that are transferable. Due to that, TGfU games have been categorized into four main groups (the top four listed below). Some Physical Educators have proposed a fifth group that covers games that involve mostly running and evading. This workshop will focus on the first two categories: Net and Wall Games Players generally score points by propelling an object over a net or off a wall. The goal is to make it difficult for the opponent to return the object.
