On August 18, USYCA and DreamCricket Academy
welcomed ICC Hall of Fame inductee Sunil Gavaskar to the DreamCricket
facility in Hillsborough, New Jersey. The "Meet The Legend" event was
sponsored by MetLife, which also donated gift bags to the adults and
signed Sunil Gavaskar mini cricket bats to the chidren. <br />
Before the coaching sessions got underway, the audience heard from
USYCA President Jamie Harrison, DreamCricket's Kranthi Bayya and
Gavaskar, who praised USYCA for its national leadership in youth
cricket. Many of the parents in attendance asked Harrison about free
cricket sets for their children's schools. Also in attendance were USYCA
board members Jatin Patel of Indiana and Vasu Ram of Massachusetts.<br />
At the conclusion of the day, Gavaskar took questions from the youth players and posed for photographs.<br />

Cricket
is the second most popular sport played in the world! It has worldwide
popularity and is quickly growing in the United States market as well.
Cricket is also a popular sport with the female population, both as a
player and a spectator. I would like to discuss the history of women
playing cricket.<br />
Cricket is one of the oldest sports in history.
In fact, there is a report of a women's match played as early as 1745 in
England. There is not much information of women's cricket reported from
1745 until 1887 when the first women's cricket club was formed in
Yorkshire, England. This club was called the White Heather Club. Soon
thereafter, in 1894, a women's club was formed in Australia, South
Africa and Canada.<br />
From 1926 until 1998 the governing body of
women's cricket was the Women's Cricket Association, also called The
Association. They governed cricket among women in England, Scotland and
Wales. Their main goal was to encourage more women's cricket clubs and
encourage women to play after they left school. In 1998 the England and
Wales Cricket board took over and are currently the governing body for
cricket in those areas.<br />
In December 1934 the first international
women's test cricket match was played between England and Australia. In
1958, the IWCC (International Women's Cricket Council was formed to
merge all women's team from around the world. In 2005, IWCC merged with
the ICC (International Cricket Council) so that the ICC now the
governing body of cricket for women, men and youth.<br />
There is a
Women's World Cup. This started in 1973, interestingly two years before
the first Men's World Cup. Fifteen countries/teams have played in the
Women's World Cup thus far and there have been eight total since 1973.
Amoung them are; England, India, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa,
West Indies, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Jamaica, Denmark, Ireland,
Netherlands, Trinidad and Tobago. The United States has yet to play in
the Women's Cricket World Cup.<br />
Today, cricket is very popular
among women in England. England and Australia have the strongest teams.
There is an effort to make cricket a more popular sport for American
women but funding and other metrics have made it hard to move forward
with teams. Hopefully, as cricket awareness grows in the US, due to the
strong youth effort and number of immigrants who now reside in the
United States this will soon change.</div>

<div id="article-body">
<div id="article-content">
Cricket is the number two most popular sport in the world. The
sport is quickly making an impressive comeback in the United States,
especially youth cricket which has spread quite quickly over the past 4
years. So most would agree that finding the most updated, relevant
information regarding Cricket would be imperative to cricket fans! I
would like to discuss where the best sources for cricket news is today.<br />
Ill
start with United States cricket. The USACA, United States of America
Cricket Association, is the governing body of cricket in the US. The web
address is USACA.org. On this site you will find updated news such as;
tournament schedules, team captain announcements, new teams formed and
information regard any elections or committee updates for men, women as
well as youth. The site however does not have a lot of information and
if you are looking for up-to-date scores it is lacking. The United
States Youth Cricket Association, usyca.org, site actually has much more
information regarding announcements of youth cricket around the country
and also has contacts of the youth cricket clubs so if you are looking
for a specific region and contact you can easily find it on this site.<br />
For
updated scores, tournament news or any other United States cricket news
the best site for sure is the ESPNcricinfo.com site. On the cricinfo
site, you can also find all players, players stats, a list of top
cricket bloggers, yearly and team statistics and much, much more. I
would definitely think one could get any information requested from this
fact-filled website.<br />
Now if your passion is cricket and one is
trying to in find cricket news fro around the world, there is a
multitude of excellent sites to choose from. ESPNcricinfo does have all
cricket news, scores, events and statistics for every country you can
imagine. Also Yahoo Cricket, cricket.yahoo.com, is an excellent source
for all things cricket. I also think it is an extremely user-friendly
site and easily navigable. Lastly, cricket365.com is very helpful for a
cricket fan to get up to date stories, news and scores.<br />
In
conclusion, there are many great sources for cricket information on the
web. I suggest switching between the above resources to figure out which
best meets your particular needs. Some have access to receive live
feeds and social media sharing and others just typical old fashioned
good articles. The good news is the resources are available!</div>

<div id="article-content">
There have been many excellent cricket batsmen to play the game
over time. There is much speculation about what makes a player the top
batsmen, is it most runs, highest average, a combination of both? Today I
would like to discuss who I feel the top batsmen of all time are mostly
by average as this represents consistently but also a combination of
other factors.<br />
At number ten, we have Jacques Kallis, also known
as JH Kallis. Kallis is an active player and currently has a batting
average a little under 58. Jacques is a right-handed batsman from South
Africa, who has primarily played for the country of South Africa. There
is great promise that Kallis could be greater than number 10 as he is
currently only 36 and could have a few more great years of cricket still
in him.<br />
At number nine we have a man who played for the West
Indies named Garfield Sobers. Sobers played cricket from 1954 until 1974
and ended his career with a batting average of 57.78. Sobers ended his
career with a very impressive 8064 runs. At number eight we have Wally
Hammond with an average of 58.46. Hammond played from 1927 until 1947
for England.<br />
In the number seven spot we have a man named Everton
Weeks. Weeks had an average of 58.61 but what was most impressive is his
career was quite short for a cricketer, only ten years. He played for
the West Indies. The batsman with the sixth highest record is England's
Ken Barrington. Barrington's average was just a little above Weeks at
58.67. His career was thirteen years long ending in 1968.<br />
At
number five we have an English cricketer names Eddie Paynter. He had a
very impressive record of 59.23 in just eight years of playing. The
number four player is a man named Herbert Sutcliffe. Sutcliffe, an
English cricketer, played from 1924 until 1935 and finished his
eleven-year record with a batting average of 60.73.<br />
The third best
batsman is George Headley. He finished his career in 1954 with a
batting average of 60.83. Headley played cricket for the West Indies.
The second best batsman of all time is another South African named
Graeme Pollock. Pollock's batting average was 60.97 and he played for
just seven years. In those seven years he managed to have 2256 hits.<br />
The
top batman in cricket of all time is a man named Donald Bradman, also
known as Sir Donald Bradman. Bradman played for Australia from 1928
until 1948. In that time he had 6996 hits and an unheard of batting
average of 99.94. He has been retired from the game for almost 64 years
and still no cricketer has even come close to touching his amazing
records.<br />
And there you have it, the most talented cricket batsmen
of all time. The newest cricket players have quite a bit to live up to
with such amazing past cricket batsmen. The question is do you think
anyone can beat a record of over 99%? Nor do I.<br />

Let's revisit Youth Cricket in America. As you may remember we, at thecricketspot.com, have partnered with the Indiana Youth Cricket association as part of the USYCA to support youth cricket programs in the US. I just found this post on the USYCA site and think it's great. <a href="http://usyca.org/why_children_should_play_cricket.cfm">http://usyca.org/why_children_should_play_cricket.cfm</a><br />
<br />
Why Should American Children Play Cricket?
<br />
<b>Benefits of Cricket</b><br />
<a href="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/p1110572-1.jpg"><img align="right" alt="" height="253" hspace="10" src="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/p1110572-1.jpg?w=259&h=253" title="P1110572.1" vspace="10" width="259" /></a>Cricket,
the world's second most popular spectator sport, can provide a fun
way for children of all ages to stay or get in shape. Cricket improves
speed, agility, flexibility and reflexes; it increases concentration,
the ability to think strategically and to utilize decision-making
skills. Cricket also, unlike what most children are exposed to in most
American sports, prizes sportsmanship and fair play - self control,
integrity and respect for others is central to the game of cricket.
Many children who are reluctant to take part in team sports find
themselves well suited for cricket.<br />
<b>Physical Benefits</b><br />
<a href="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-09-27-at-9-57-20-am.png"><img align="right" alt="" height="252" hspace="10" src="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-09-27-at-9-57-20-am.png?w=252&h=252" title="Screen shot 2010-09-27 at 9.57.20 AM" vspace="10" width="252" /></a>Everyone
who plays cricket can expect to experience physical benefits. For
example, sprinting between the wickets provides an excellent aerobic
workout. Cricket shares some basic foundations with some of the
martial arts (or even dance and music for that matter!). Some examples
of these: measure, tempo change, timing, velocity, and proper
execution and simplification of technique. Therefore, children can
associate the learning from one subject or skill set to another,
linking the common ground to broaden their life perspective.<br />
<b>Mental Benefits</b><br />
Cricket is an excellent mental exercise. Any
cricketer who makes a serious effort to learn the game cannot help but
develop greater powers of observation and a greater understanding of
strategy. A cricketer, at the game's top levels, must learn to develop
a complete repertoire of shots (if one is a batter) or variations in
bowling (if one is a bowler), and learn how to judge and determine
their opponent's thoughts and character so as to anticipate their
actions. The cricketer must learn to use this ability to entice or
draw an opponent into making a mistake, by leading them into thinking
that they are in control of the contest.<br />
<b>Social Benefits</b><br />
Cricketers often become friends and
competitors, finding themselves meeting hundreds of people over the
years as they travel to competitions locally, nationally, and
internationally. Not surprisingly, cricket is the fastest growing
sport among universities across Canada and United States. Very skilled
players may have the opportunity to train overseas, compete in
prestigious tournaments, which in the future may also include the
Olympic Games.<br />
<b>What Will Cricket Do For Your Child?</b><br />
- Promote discipline, self-assurance, and responsibility<br />
- Develop coordination, strength, and decision-making skills<br />
- Provide positive interaction with peers and adults<br />
- Teach the ability to think tactically to overcome an obstacle <br />
<b>Why Play Cricket?</b><br />
<a href="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-09-09-at-5-39-25-pm.png"><img align="right" alt="" height="344" hspace="10" src="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-09-09-at-5-39-25-pm.png?w=361&h=344" title="Screen shot 2010-09-09 at 5.39.25 PM" vspace="10" width="361" /></a>Because
cricket is always FUN! Cricket bridges gaps between sexes, sizes,
ethnicity and personality (as is seen when both young girls and boys
defeat an opponent with technique and timing when confronted with
brawn and bulk!). Cricket is a great way to develop a child's mind,
body and spirit, helping to lay the foundation for success as an
adult!<br />
<b>Cricket - The Perfect School Game:</b><br />
Cricket is the perfect game for group instruction:<br />
<ul>
<li>It can be played indoors or outside, on a basketball court, asphalt or grass.</li>
<li>It allows the instructor to observe students both as individual participants and as parts of a team.</li>
<li>Cricket appeals to all children, not just
those who are typically large, strong or fast. (In groups, this
propensity causes many disaffected children to shrink away from active
participation. This means less involvement and a discouraging,
awkward experience for the child; it also makes the task of assigning
that student a fair grade more difficult for the instructor.)</li>
<li>Cricket rewards patience, technique and
intelligence; stature has very little to do with eventual greatness.
This encourages all children to participate, and draws out those
typically disaffected. <b></b></li>
</ul>
<b></b><br />
<b>Suitability:</b><br />
Cricket is suitable for boys and girls to
participate in from an early age. Children from the age of 5 years old
can begin to learn cricket by participating in the USYCA program.
Cricket is a non-contact sport and at this age is played with a soft
cricket ball to ensure the safety of the children. Cricket is a great
way for children to learn to work together in a team environment while
developing important physical and mental skills.<br />
<a href="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-10-19-at-9-01-15-am.png"><img align="right" alt="" height="362" hspace="10" src="http://usyouthcricket.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/screen-shot-2010-10-19-at-9-01-15-am.png?w=370&h=362" title="Screen shot 2010-10-19 at 9.01.15 AM" vspace="10" width="370" /></a><br />
<b>Fun for all ages, and in all places</b> <b></b><br />
Boys and girls of all ages can play cricket
both socially and competitively. While competitive cricket is mostly
played on a pitch on an oval field, cricket just for fun can be played
in backyards, parks, and streets or on the beach.<br />
<b>Getting started</b><br />
To play backyard cricket you just need some
friends, a bat, a ball and wickets. To learn the skills, children can
participate in a clinic, or join a local youth league.<br />
<b>Rules of the game:</b><br />
The basic rules of cricket are:<br />
<ul>
<li>The object of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team.</li>
<li>One team fields while the other team is the batting side.</li>
<li>The fielding team bowls the cricket ball at
the batsmen who tries to hit the ball with their bat. The fielding
team is trying to get the batsmen out while the batting team is trying
to score as many runs as they can without getting out.</li>
<li>When the two batters cross over to each
other's wicket, they have scored one run for their team. Batters may
run on any ball whether it is hit or not. Off each delivery a batsmen
can score 0 through to 6 runs.</li>
<li>If a ball is hit to the boundary along the ground it is worth 4 runs. If a ball is hit over the boundary it is worth six runs.</li>
<li>When the batting team has only one player remaining that is “not out” they must switch around and become the bowling team.</li>

The Cricket Spot has recently decided to partner with the Indiana
Youth Cricket Association. The partnership will begin Spring 2012 and
continue for at least the next year. This partnership will mainly focus
on reaching all Physical Education teachers and coaches in the state of
Indiana.<br />
The Indiana Youth Cricket's mission is "to Promote
Cricket and expand Youth cricket with Educational Instructions &
Training to Indiana schools and to promote fitness and advance the sport
of cricket across Indiana." With these goals in mind we will hopefully
bring the game of cricket to youth all across the state. Currently, the
Indiana Youth Cricket Association has brought cricket to eleven schools
in Indiana with another nineteen interested in learning more about the
sport. This could be huge for all of indiana Cricket.<br />
In May 2012,
we will participate in a health fair in Hamilton County. This fair is
focused on youth nutrition and exercise/sports. Our goal is to reach out
to the kids at this event and introduce them to the sport of cricket.
We also plan to have a training this summer for all 60,000 PE teachers
in the state to learn more about cricket as well.<br />
March 24 was
national Youth Cricket Day, a day in which we all United States Youth
Cricket can celebrate one day of the sport universally. In other United
States Youth Cricket news, Reebok Cricket recently signed a deal to
become the official cricket apparel sponsor for at least three years.
This is the first ever of a sponsorship of this magnitude and could mean
great things for Youth Cricket here in America. Currently, most Cricket
players in the US are immigrants from Australia, England, India, South
Africa and the Caribbean and hopefully this large effort to increase
youth cricket can help make it an American born sport.<br />
The sport
was introduced to schools in 2010, on the east coast, and since there
have been over 1000 schools to introduce cricket to their school, we
find this growth to be impressive. There currently is a program for
schools to receive a free cricket set if interested. And The USCYA along
with the INYCA will both provide free training and instruction to all
interested parties.<br />
In conclusion, we are very excited about this
new partnership. We are sure that this new growth will ensure that the
United States will follow in the rest of the world's passion for the
sport of Cricket!<br />

<div id="article-content">
There are many different cricket bats to choose from. When first
looking to buy a new cricket bat you have to decide price range, brand
and then of course English or Kashmir Willow. Today I want to discuss
English Willow and different levels of willow grade to help you decide
which is best for you.<br />
Let's first discuss a few details about
English Willow because this is the most popular choice for cricket bat
material. English Willow comes from the English Willow tree also called,
Salix Alba Caerulea tree and most of them are found in various parts of
England. They must mature for no less than 4 years before they are cut
down for use in bat making. English willow is the best quality one can
buy. The wood from English Willow is straight-grained and the grading is
based upon flaws and the other things mentioned below.<br />
A Grade 1
is the most alluring blade, though it may not necessarily play the best.
There may be some red wood evident on the edge of the bat. The grain on
the face will be straight and there will be at least 4 grains visible.
It can have an odd small knot in the edge or back but not on playing
area of the bat.<br />
A Grade 2 blade is also very good quality and in
grade 2 one can typically expect a larger amount of red wood on the edge
of a bat, this has no effect on the playing ability of the bat it is
purely cosmetic. Again there will be at least 4 straight grains on the
face of the bat with maybe some blemishes, pin knots or small specks
that are visible.<br />
Grade 3 is the grade produced and sold most and
it's an economical and good quality for money. A Grade 3 Blade has up to
half colour across the bat and is therefore sometimes bleached, again
this has no direct relation to the playing ability of the wood, and it
just has less visual attraction. This grade will also have at least 4
grains on the face of the bat but they may not always be perfectly
straight. Furthermore, it will contain more prominent specks and of
course butterfly stains.<br />
A Grade 4 Blade is normally bleached to
cover up the discoloration, which typically covers over half the bat.
The Grade 4 still plays quite well. It will most likely have multiple
specks or butterfly stains in it.<br />
In conclusion, when choosing
your new cricket bat, make sure you are doing your research first.
Quality is very important in this matter as you will hopefully keep the
same bat for many years.<br />

To refresh the positions, there's the front
foot strokes and back foot strokes. A batsman can change this position
based on how the ball is thrown and where it is going. Front foot
strokes are when the batsman's front foot stretches down the pitch
toward the bowler and his weight is on the front foot. A back foot
stroke is when the batsman's back foot is pushed back toward the wicket
and his weight on his back foot.<br />
The first to reference is the
back foot defensive. This stroke is very similar to the front foot
defensive only the weight is placed on the back foot. This stroke is
typically used to defend the wicket instead of scoring. The main
difference between the front foot and back foot defensive is that in the
back foot defensive the ball can bounce higher and be reached a bit
later because the weight is placed on the back foot.<br />
Next is the
stroke titled Cut. The Cut is an aggressive attack on the ball designed
to hit the ball far and score runs. The bat is swung in a horizontal arc
to the ground. With this technique the batsmen's swings right after the
ball has passed the batsmen's body and in some cases quite awhile after
it has past the batsmen's body. This is a technique that typically only
the fairly skilled attempt.<br />
The Pull is another type of
aggressive cricket batting technique where the bat is pulled in a
horizontal arc. It is called The Pull because the intention is to pull
the ball to the leg side and score runs. This can also be a risky swing
but also effective if used properly.<br />
The hook, another aggressive
technique, is a more difficult stroke. The intention with the hook is to
hit the ball so high and far that you score 6 runs. The Hook uses a
diagonal arc and is hit when the ball is about as high as the batsman's
head, because of this it can be dangerous.<br />
The last swing is the
leg glance. The leg glance is not an aggressive shot and is actually
rather subtle. The ball is hit on the side or around the batsmen's leg.<br />
In
conclusion, there are many different techniques for cricket batting.
You should try them all to truly understand them. Once you have
familiarized yourself more with the game, you will understand which
stroke is appropriate at what time.<br />
