Connection of Cricket, Honesty and Hardwork

Cricket is one of the most addictive things around. Only those who watch it know it. The excitement of each ball, each run, classic cover drives, unconventional cut over the keeper and all those things that happen in a day’s play are unparalleled and unmatched.

Besides this excitement of sports, cricket also represents the classic philosophical aspect of life. This is best reflected through the uncertainty and honesty of the game. In one of the recent test matches India won the game just by one wicket, Bangladesh defeated New Zealand very dominantly. In both these instances the hardwork met with honesty. When hours of perseverance, practice and patience meets with the random, uncertain and pure form of game, the resultant actions are such that leave all with their mouth wide open in awe and wonder.

Cricket is not great only because it provides lot of money and entertainment. What makes it great is that in that ground, most of the times, level playing field is ensured for all. On that ground, hard work meets with honesty and you see the results.

I wish everyone was a cricketer or a sportsman at least. But alas…….
