Cricket was born due to social distance!

The most important thing in the history of cricket is that there is no physical contact at the base of the game of cricket. The same cricket today has to follow the rules of social distance due to the Koro epidemic. As the IPL kicks off in the UAE today after a six-month cricket drought, the players have undergone several Covid-17 Tests.

They have to strictly follow the rules of bio-bubble and wear the same concentration mask to catch the ball. The thrilling celebration of a century, a hat-trick or a victory on the cricket field will happen, but the players have to stay 'standing on the shore and watching the spectacle'. Now that achievement will not be celebrated by clinging to or attaining it together.

In the development of the game of cricket, it has become important for the players to be able to play away from each other. Cricket does not have to be about kicking or grabbing a ball, meleeing or hitting with a leg or body, and being physically stronger than others.

As in the game of rugby, the opposing players are desperately trying to grab the ball by running after it. They are sitting on top of each other loudly. While there is no such rivalry in cricket and that is why the British Empire and the British who are proud of their sovereignty, the game came to be more suitable and because of this the British Army adopted the game.

If we open the pages of the history of cricket. On March 3, 191, an order was issued by a general for the British Horse Guards Parade. This one order is the most landmark event in the history of cricket. Due to this order, the common game played in the village called cricket became the standard sport of the British army and in the same way wherever the British Empire expanded and the British army went, the game of cricket went with it. The order stated that wherever there were military barracks throughout Britain, there should be special grounds for the game of cricket only.

Horses are not allowed to play or enter the buggy on this ground, and the care of this ground is entrusted to the chief officer of the barracks. People will only be allowed in, with the permission of Barack's commanding officer and the army. The wire fence around the cricket ground or anyone passing through the ground will be considered a serious offense by Lord Hill and if any damage is done to the ground, the cost of repairing the ground will be borne by the military officer.

This was instructed by Lord Hill, Britain's Commanding-in-Chief, and the development of cricket in the British Empire began. The war against Napoleon caused Britain to run out of money. And as a result MCC had to move from one ground to another and from another ground to a third ground.

Different rules in cricket today change from time to time. One of the most talked about rules in the IPL at the time was that bowlers could not use their saliva, one of which was 'under arm' bowling or bowling at arm's height. .

At that time, some players supported 'forward' bowling, while others supported 'back' bowling. Oops! At the time, Reverend James Picroft was quoted as saying that round-arm bowling was not cricket.

The British took cricket with them wherever they went. It is said that the soldiers of the empire carried bats and balls with them wherever they went. Just as cricket fans now feel suffocated without cricket, so did the British military suffocate without cricket a hundred and fifty years ago. For three years after the Battle of Waterloo, Britain did not have to engage in a major war, and its military officers and soldiers needed to rejoice.

Thus cricket proved to be a very important sport for the British Army. In addition, the army carried its cricket baggage by sea wherever it went, so that it did not have to spend any Zazo, and the landing at the port was used to build a cricket ground in a military camp around the port. Hence where there were large ports, the game developed further.

The game developed due to the port of Mumbai in India. Cricket was initially played by the British Army at three special venues. And those are Australia, India and the West Indies. Cricket was introduced in the ports of these three countries and where there is talk of warmer sea winds. Is. It started in Sydney in the 150's. Similarly, cricket was played at the Gymkhana Club between the British Army and Parsi Com in Mumbai.

At that time Parsi com was economically and socially progressive and more so it wanted to imitate the British. There are many exciting stories in the history of Indian cricket of matches between the British Army and the Parsi team. The third center of cricket outside of Britain is Barbados in the West Indies, whose Bridgetown cricket ground was located near the sea and was built by British troops. Thus for cricket it can be said that the British Army of the British Empire is a sport invented for the enjoyment of its soldiers.

Today we see that cricket is not played in Russia or Japan or even in Brazil or Portugal. If you look at the history of sports, you will realize that football, like cricket, is the quest of the British, but football has become the most popular sport in the world today and cricket has ceased to be a sport of the former British Empire. Malta and Corfu Island are exceptions.

These two islands have all the reasons for the rise of cricket. It was inhabited by a good number of Englishmen. The weather was also good as it did not rain frequently. There were also some nice cricket grounds and being a port, it did not cost much to bring cricket equipment. Despite these British naval bases, cricket could not flourish here.

There was such a 'social distance' in this game without physical confrontation that a West Indian bowler from Barbados could bowl at any speed, but could not get close to an Army player.

How about touching it! As a result, the British did not hesitate to play the game with the natives of the country under their rule. Thus, when corona is banned from interacting with players today, it can be said that it was because of this social distance that the game of cricket spread to different countries.

Manzrukho

The civil war in America had reached its climax. President Lincoln bravely faced this unprecedented crisis.

Even at that time, the President instructed his gatekeepers to admit the common man first to anyone who came to meet me. In this too, the person who comes to the President with an application to save someone's life should be admitted first.

If military officers or senators have come to meet at such a time, instruct them to stop for a while and first give access to the common man in such a general.

Darwana literally followed the president's instructions, but the result was very different. The military commanders who came to get the order from the President could not bear even a moment's delay. They also complained to the president.

President Abraham Lincoln was not an advocate of strict punishment. Anyone who ran away from the army or made a mistake in the army was sentenced to death according to military discipline. At the time, President Lincoln was apologizing to the troopers.

An Army official once warned President Abraham Lincoln that disciplining in the military would be difficult if he did so.

Speaking of his heart, Link said, "Look, sometimes I get tired of working day and night in this civil war, but if I get a chance to apologize for someone's death sentence, all my tiredness goes away in an instant. That's why when I sign someone's letter, I imagine how much joy this signature will have in her family, and that's why when I go to bed at night, I feel blessed. "

The revelation of the moment

'Why should I please anyone else? If someone keeps me happy, then why should I try to keep others happy? '

There are people who say this without crossing the line, but in reality such an ideology makes a person extremely catastrophic for himself or even a destroyer of the joy of life. The reason for this is that such a thinker only lives in the lockdown of his own selfishness. He thinks only of himself and then constantly worries about himself. If he has a slight cold, he is afraid of corona, if he has a cough, he will have a big headache. Night and day he is only preoccupied with his own health.

Only the one who thinks of 'self' is surrounded by the questions of his life. She is afraid of losing her livelihood, worries about pay cuts, is distressed by family troubles and is surrounded by sadness around her.

When one comes out of the turmoil of one's own thoughts and thinks of others, one is freed from the fear and dread of oneself. He is not bothered by the worries of his own body. Never seen Corona Warriors get upset by putting their hands up!

In this time of the Corona epidemic, I should think that I can help someone in some way. Give food to someone hungry today, cook a little more and give it to Rama, give medicine kit if someone needs it. A small help like this will give you a lot of benefits. You will be freed from the cycle of fear and worry of your life. Service is not based on wealth, but on the spirit of the heart and it is the spirit of the heart that will save you from anxiety, fear or dread in this difficult time.
