Participate in fantasy cricket in India

Becoming a sports player may seem simple, which is, when you follow a few simple steps. How will you ever know you're on top if you've never been on the bottom looking up? ~Dog the Bounty Hunter. It ain't over 'till it's over ~Yogi Berra .I Live For This ~MLB commercial. Yes, becoming a sports player is completely different from playing virtual games like fantasy cricket in India.

Sports player is a person trained to compete in a sport involving physical strength, speed or endurance and do not play virtual games like fantasy cricket. Sports people may be professional or amateur. Most professional sports people have particularly well-developed physiques obtained by extensive physical training and strict exercise accompanied by a strict dietary regimen. The term athlete may be used as a synonym for sportspeople in general, but it also has stronger connotations of people who compete in athletic sports, as opposed to other sporting types such as horse riding and driving. In British English (as well as other variants in the Commonwealth) athlete can also have a more specific meaning of people who compete in the sport of athletics.

Be a "go-getter" and don’t just play virtual games like fantasy cricket:

The first step to be a go-getter: Have faith in yourself! A go-getter is a person who can get things done and achieve desired goals, no matter how bad the situation is or how limited the resources are. Continue playing virtual games like fantasy cricket but play real sports as well. Contribute. Don't just sign up just to be on the team. It doesn't matter about your skill, but your effort and willingness to contribute is more important. Just go out there every practice and game and work at it. If you strike out a couple times, remember the saying "How will you ever know you’re on top if you've never been on the bottom looking up?"Always respect the game. When pros cheat by using performance-enhancing drugs to boost muscle mass, they're only cheating themselves and tarnishing their sport. Most importantly, they're messing with the minds of fans nationwide. They are giving the wrong impression that it is okay to use drugs to make themselves feel better but, in fact, it is not okay to do such things. Every time they inject drugs into their system, their bodies are satisfactory in the short term (the large muscle mass) but they lose years of their life in the long run.

 Fantasy Cricket


Always respect your teammates be it real sports or fantasy cricket in India:

The game is much more enjoyable when you are around a comfortable environment rather than an environment filled with tension and pressure. A negative environment makes for a difficult career. Always respect your opponents. Your opponents may be considered "enemies" on the field or court (whichever one you decide to play on), but they are still human. To lighten the impact of defeat, a simple high five, handshake, etc. and a nice "Good game" will be sufficient. It may not completely make your opponent feel better but at least you did your part. Even in rivalries, all that is supposed to be a fun competition and the game is supposed to be kept on the field/court.

What a Match - England vs Sri Lanka Highlights and Celebration, 24th June, 2014

ONE World Sports TV presents England vs Sri Lanka Test Match 2 Day 5 highlights and analysis after a historic day of Cricket in Headingley. Sri Lanka won when they had almost abandoned hope. From the penultimate ball of a gripping final day, Shaminda Eranga found a hostile delivery to bring their first series win in England. James Anderson, who could only fend it to the leg side in self-preservation, dropped to his haunches in despair. Moeen Ali's immense maiden Test century was briefly forgotten, submerged beneath an ecstatic Sri Lankan celebration.



An indomitable backs-to-the-wall display by Moeen had come so close to sparing England: an unbeaten 108, unblemished even, made from 281 balls. England's last five wickets had clung on for all but two balls of the final day. Pride had been salvaged, perhaps a captain had been spared too, but it is Sri Lanka who can celebrate a special moment in their Test history.

Rules of fantasy cricket

Cricket was first played in southern England in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, it had developed to be the national sport of England. The expansion of the British Empire led to the game being played overseas and by the mid-19th century the first international match was held. ICC, the game's governing body, has 10 full members. By the end of 21st century, fantasy cricket and gully cricket games became very popular in India.

Gully cricket is an unofficial form of the game originating mainly from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. When the game is played in small lanes, known as 'gully' in Hindi (the language mainly used in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh), and the game is called 'gully cricket'. The rules are completely different as compared to fantasy cricket in India: e.g. it may be agreed that fielders can catch the ball with one hand after one bounce and claim a wicket; or if only a few people are available then everyone may field while the players take it in turns to bat and bowl. Tennis balls and homemade bats are often used, and a variety of objects may serve as wickets.

Get a bat, and ball. You could use a cork, tennis, rubber ball, but it is advisable to play with a tennis or rubber ball as it is easier to use and does not hurt as much as a cork ball. Gather a few players to play the game. The game rule officially states that you would need 11 players per side for a game of cricket. But in gully game you can even play with just 3 players a side Form two teams of equal players. Players try 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. The team that should bat/field first will be decided by a coin toss. Once a team finishes batting, the second team will come to bat and will try to score 1 more run than the other side. It is a fantasy cricket form in its own right.

It is played in a similar regard to outdoor half-court basketball in the United States and backyard rugby in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Often, children improvise on specific rules and use objects found in the environment to serve as tools, such as trash cans and dumpsters for wicket stumps. One famous example of this is the electric-taped tennis ball which was originally improvised by children in the inner-city neighbourhoods of Karachi as a means to make a tennis ball less bouncy and heavier to closely emulate a real cricket ball; the tape can also be used to create a seam on the ball. This method soon spread to other regions of the world.
