Question

1 min speech on cricket

Answer 1

I am writing a long speech for 1 min.  Please select the good points for your presentation.

    I like the game of cricket.   I played cricket a lot in my childhood and am still playing.  My friends were very interested too.  I like the game when it is going good, when the players are playing seriously and displaying their full talent.

      Cricket is called a gentleman's game but now it has become a skilful, daring, fast, wise and athletic man's game.  It is not easy to perform very well at the national and international levels.  Cricket originated from United Kingdom, but now cricket has made Asian subcontinent as the biggest base.  Cricket is played mainly in commonwealth countries.  But some other countries also started playing it.  Cricket has now given employment to thousands of people and is giving entertainment to lakhs of people around the world.  Cricket has become a career for many sports persons.

    I watch the cricket played by the international and national players.  I like the one day matches and the twenty-twenty formats.  But they are sometimes too nerve breaking.  When excitement reaches the pinnacle, it is difficult to bear.  I like it when Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli play the ball very well.  I used to like the good strokes that Sachin Tendulkar played a few years ago. I like the powerful helicopter shot of Dhoni.

    What I like more is the good bowling when the bowlers bowl inswingers and outswingers.  It looks so magical that the ball curves it way due to physics and pressure.  It becomes boring often when the batsmen play too much of dot balls.  There should be a good combination of batting, bowling,  fielding and umpiring.   Use of latest technologies and speed has made cricket more interesting than  the traditional a dull and slow game.

    Sometimes the good fielding attempts by the fieldsmen pulls our attention back on to the game.  The diving catches and diving stops at the rope are quite interesting and awesome to watch.  I cannot dive so well.  But it is ok.

    I like many other games and play them too whenever I get a chance to.  But I am cautious not to disturb my studies to entertain myself only in cricket.   I keep cricket, my studies and my responsibilities all in their places.
