Essay on my hobbby cricket for class 5
Answers
If you ask me what inspired me to play cricket, it was certainly the momentous victory of the Indian cricket team at Lord’s in 1983. Under the leadership of Captain Kapil Dev India won the Prudential World Cup defeating the two times world champion West Indies. It was a little boy David versus Giant Goliath kind of battle and when the unthinkable happened, children of our age started having a romance with cricket.
Unlike today, when technology has put each ball bowled and each shot played under analysis we grew up playing cricket with a sense of joyful abandon. Honestly we did not have good bats or balls but we managed with whatever was available. The school grounds were our playground. But occasionally the game moved to open fields and even small streets. Sometimes our playing in the streets troubled our neighbours as balls would hit their gates or windows. But back then people seemed to tolerate young boys creating havoc.
