Cricket

We ran till my house was no longer visible, we then slowed down to a brisk walk. The chirping of crickets made it hard to talk without whispering, so we communicated primarily through body language. The loud clanking of our shoes sent an uncomfortable chill down my spine. In the distance head lights of a pickup truck were evident. Jayde shrieked “hide…

silence of the night, and she was sure that it had woken up her husband in his slumber. Her ears strained for the sound of footsteps racing down the stairs, or perhaps a door creaking open, but they were met with nothing but the sound of chirping crickets and blowing wind. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, but as quickly as her fears had faded they were replaced by the realization that the liquid now spilled on the hardwood floor around her was not wine, but…

in general for summer people are talking about adding baseball and American football but the factor they are American based sports unless we can find a lot of countries that play baseball or American football. This conversion would be the same for cricket because we don’t play it but people in Asia do. The winter Olympics has 15 events only alpine skating, biathlon, bobsled, cross country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, short track speed…

Throughout my undergraduate sport and exercise science degree at The University of Birmingham, I have become fascinated with the interaction between psychology and physiology and how this can affect the cardiovascular/immune system and ultimately, health. It was my dissertation and modules which first aroused this interest, and completing a critical essay, debating whether high or low cardiovascular reactivity to acute psychological stress is the most detrimental to health, further enhanced this…

I saw it come over….There were times when I would open our back door and find our garden in flames. Our house never burned, but we had to evacuate several times. Every time we evacuated, I took my cricket bat with me. () Pinter's lost childhood is exemplified by his innocent desire to take his cricket bat with him each time his family was evacuated from their home. In Miriam Gross's interview, "Pinter on Pinter," Pinter states that, "I felt very strongly about the war. And still do,….After all,…

"Once a Greenwave Always a Greenwave" The loss that shook the city, the death of Thomas "Cricket" Smith. A soul gone way too soon. On January 13, 2017, Thomas Smith ran his car into a tree after trying to race to Cook Out. It was a sudden and unexpected event that I was definitely not prepared for. It went from seeing him at the game, to seeing his car smashed around the tree, up to finally laying him to rest, the death of a classmate forever altered my life It was the night we have all been…

Since age 6, I was dragged around Melbourne every Sunday to watch my 2 brothers play footy. Since age 6, I was serving hot dogs and canned drinks to the hungry players in the canteen, and updating the scoreboard for each new goal. Since age 6, I was roped into endless games of jack in the pack and kick to kick with my brothers. At age 6, the thought of playing football never crossed my mind, not ever. It was not until 6 years later my local club introduced an U’15s girls football team. I was 12…

Still yet they labeled me 'ABC', but didn't had nothing on my record but a speeding ticket. They tried braces but still couldn't fix the cricket smile on their faces. The officer wasn't fine like Lil Wayne said, Mrs. Officers. I ain't did nothing wrong so I'm guessing she pulled me over because I wasn't red bone. Next thing you know I'm laying on the grass. Thinking to myself at least I'm…

Sport, recreation, and play changed significantly over the course of the 19th century in the United States because work changed significantly. The country moved from an agricultural society, where citizens worked at home and had little time for recreation to one in which the industrial revolution introduced mass production and mass distribution and with it, new concepts of time, space and economic realities. This led to the transformation and modernization of sports as we know it. In the mid…
