The Cricket Game Evolution

"Cricket is a Funny Game" that is what the fans say about this great game. The word 'Funny' might look uncharacteristic when used for the praise of something, but this is actually the right word for the game because everything can change so quickly in this game. The Evolution of Cricket is as incredible as its name from 1844 till 2009.

It all started in England and was regarded as a royal game or the game of the wealthy. But at present the most passionate fans of the game are in the countries like India, Pakistan where most people are below poverty line. So the the path the game has traveled is hard to believe.

Like most games Cricket has developed with Time and Technology. For any game to survive for centuries the leaders or the controllers of the game has to come with some unique ideas so that it gets promoted within the people who are new to it as well as it remains fresh for the fans of the game. Cricket has followed that path as well from five day tests to one day internationals and now T20s. The rules have changed as well which has helped in Globalization of Cricket. T20s have revolutionized the Game and became so popular that the game is now played in most parts of the world. It's a shortened format of Cricket that has made the game more interesting. But for the die hard fans "Test Cricket" still remains at the peak. The Ashes series that is played between England and Australia is a thunderous experience for the fans of Cricket. The Cricket Boards have to be careful on their part so that the soul of the game still remains the same while promotions and new formats come in.
