I was in euphoria when Mehbob Alam hit a winning four against USA in world cup Division 5 Final match. The match was really bewitching. Rahul VK’s 7 wicket haul and openers’ partnership were adorable facets of Nepalese Innings. The win opened the door for the next platform for Nepali Cricket to prove itself. We all hope and wish that Nepal will carry this winning wave in further world cup selection matches.
We have good scope in cricket. Though we are poor in physical infrastructures and technology, we have lot of young talents who keep the virtue and competence of dragging Nepal to greater height in international cricket. The next factor I am really proud about is the increasing popularity gained by Cricket in Nepal. The crowd present in TU Cricket Ground on finals was really fascinating. It seems every youth cares about Nepali cricket proceedings. The passion of cricket on Nepalese is increasing day by day.
The entry of Nepal in Division 4 was down to the wire till Friday night. But, fate or say, the blessings of motherland pushed Nepal to it. The decision making match against USA on Friday was not as expected by most of us. I was there for the first time in Nepal’s only international cricket ground and was happy to see the enthusiastic crowd there. But, I was sad and surprised when I saw spectators throwing stones, bricks and bottles in the ground. It was done because Nepal was in verge of losing the match which is immature and disgusting thing to say. We all know that winning and losing is like two side of same coin. We cannot always expect victory. And that is not how we encourage our team. The misdeed has worsened the status of Nepal in international arena. Since, cricket is the sport known for its better sportsmanship; discipline and respect to opponents, this kind of behaviour are dealt seriously. It may also cause the loss of faith of ICC on CAN. Such misbehaviours will reduce the chances of hosting more international matches in Nepal accusing the security status. All in all, development of cricket in Nepal may be hindered.
The Essay on The Cricket Match
Samuel Selvon’s short story, “The Cricket Match” explores the subtle racial tensions amongst West Indian immigrants living in England whilst working with English counterparts. Selvon sets his narrative in a tyre factory in Chiswick, England. Most likely, the timeline in which this story occurs is somewhere in the mid 1950’s when England were still colonists of most of the English speaking ...
Also, CAN should focus on improving security status in stadium. We all have seen the disciplinary actions and security actions by ICC in our neighbouring nations. Even the matches for ICC World Cup 2011 in Pakistan were abandoned. So, let us show the rational attitude to develop cricket in Nepal. Lets grow up!!
