The Game of Cricket

Published on May 20, 2012 by toto2810

The game of cricket originated in England. The sport was as a way to display sportsmanship and gentlemanliness, as well as athletic ability. The players were to focus on playing fair rather than on winning. Cricket was slow moving and matches lasted a maximum of five days. When the British colonized India in 1858, the sport of cricket played a big role in the take-over. Like other colonizing super-powers, Britain attempted to use a national sport to impose their values on the other culture. Sports are fun and non-violent, so what better way to subtly urge the Indians to act and think more like the British? Indian elites soon saw the benefits of cricket, using the game to both bond with the powerful British and to reaffirm their own status within the Indian population. However, the skillful Indian cricket players were able to push back at the British rulers by beating them at their own game. This was when the transformation of British cricket may have begun.
