These days are
tests days. Some are on vacation after tests – terms. They are school children.
Tests; this universe is full of tests, various,
aspects, subjects, concepts, theories etc.
Some tests some.
These ‘tests’ that
I like to talk about today is a part of big matches and has become part of
human interests and agendas, since many , many years , decades.
I do not know ‘why’
the English thought of such game of such style to initiate at the beginning. There
must be a reason though I am unaware it. I have to read the book of Cricket to
understand such facets and sides of cricket – history.
Perhaps ………………
There were some of
the following in their minds and plans at the beginning, let me assume, to test
the patience, to test the strengths of their people, to spend their time –
leisure, on something ‘interesting and learnable, to learn about ‘challenges’,
how to defeat a team, how to give other sides / teams and aim or a target to
win, achievable or unachievable. I do not know what was on their mind if the
above mentioned were none of the reasons.
Anyways ………………..
The tests – the matches
apart from other tests exiting in this universe to test this and that of
standards or levels of people, of human minds, these matches – tests, brings
loads of things in to the hearts and minds of sports lovers, not only in to the
people who watch matches sitting on the pavilion of the Macca of Cricket, The Lords
ground. (Thank you Herman Perera sir for refreshing my mind on this and I hope
that I have narrated it right.)
In Galle ……………… (International cricket ground)
The two countries
are playing one of the matches scheduled and if my memory is accurate by around
5 .00 pm Sri Lanka has scored around 80+ for one wicket.
The tests matches
are different to one day matches or to the matches 50 over or 20 over matches.
Oh! I forgot to
mention the two countries; the match is between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. I think
the Pakistani Team had batted well and scored more than 400.
Some people show
much interest towards one day matches than the test matches.
Innings ……………….
Innings are
important in these matches and every inning is important for both sides that play
this type of matches. The player has to maintain his patience until the match
over though they have to play many over/s compared to the limited over matches.
Some players become steady and stable
throughout the inning or innings.
The scores ……………….
Other than if the
player is capable enough to play faster in the limited over matches there are
many chances for a player to earn more than a century in these matches. The scores
of the team and the scores of the personal score lanes of individual player or
each and every player shows the abilities of the team and individual
performances of each the player, as a whole and specialties in scoring days
long matches. The test matches.
After all ……………..
The result of any
match shows the levels of team efforts
The Pavilions are
for match lovers. They can watch their
matches while eating a piece of cake or slice of sandwich of their choices. But
they should not forget the matches on going in the ground though none of us
should forget the real matches of real lives of our day to day dealings.
Regulations ………………
Cricket is one of
the games that players within a certain frame work of rules and regulations
like in any other matches or games.
Records ………………….
Sir Garfield or
Mr. S. Gavaskar , S. Jayasuriya, Mahela or Mahanama, Wettamuni all these
gentlemen, I am not aware of all the
records they hold all I know is the names of these gentlemen crafted their
names in the hearts and minds of people, the sport fans of now and then. That it
self is a record. Who ever does justice
to the game they play is a winner.
What ever the
match matches with people’s interests and desires helps the game to sustain not
only in the hearts and minds of people but also as a game of the universe.
Our Mahela
Our Mahela
Jayawardena has decided to retire from the test matches after this series
though it’s a sad decision I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST AND THANK YOU, CONGRATULATIONS!
MAHELA JAYAWARDENA FOR YOUR UNSPOILED PLAY OF TEST MATCH CARRIER RECORDS,
RECORDED AND SEALED IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE CRICKET LOVERS OF THIS
UNIVERSE
Though …………..
The matches are
limited because cricket matches are not the only matches that are playing in
the grounds of this universe we live.
Unlimited ……………
There are many
things that we can discuss about matches – tests, about cricket as a sports
activity, grounds of plays, the commentaries, how to forget the FANS, the SCORE
BOARD ………………
The book of Cricket,
the chapters …………..
Let me narrate a
another chapter on some other day because I do not think that I discuss
everything or many things about the test matches but bit and pieces from here
and there
I am a fan …………….
I am not an expert
of cricket. I am a fan of cricket. So these are some ideas of a fan, do not
forget it.
Thank you for
reading ……………………..
