Jeering the opposition whilst cheering the home team can only separate the passionate from the casual as they browse the T.V channels and fortuitously come across their ‘prized’ team. The supporters that demonstrate their passion at least mark it in millions, which helps it to separate it from the less acknowledged sports of Ruby to the unknown of short tennis. Football and Cricket may have overcome shallow resistance from the other sports, but which tale endows the most avid followers? Many might favour Football, even cricket enthusiasts, as undeniably the Monday morning discussions revolve the weekend Football action. The ICC board of cricket however may claim cricket coverage has yet to be sailed to the four corners of the earth.
But will media attention ever replace the back street football and encourage the youth to play cricket instead?
Football against cricket is merely seen as passion against class, many conceal the argument but how is a game enjoyed without velocity and passion? Similarly how is a game enjoyed without class and ability? Nevertheless providing you with a slightly less dilemma Cricket inevitably is defined as a sport for the ingenious. Learning the art of kicking a ball is a simple accomplishment, but keeping your arm straight as it glides through the air, when then, you fire the ball from the canon of you fingertips at above fifty miles per hour can only be a masterful accomplishment. Cutting the bowl with the bat on to the offside is just another predicament set by the cricket world, but swerving a size twelve ball into a gigantic goal mouth surely only needs the full force of the bottom on your foot?
Footballers emerging in angry tunnel brawls, surely cannot be a different dimension of passion? Being tempted to hit the match officials
Only shows the decline of obedience as presumably their mammoth salaries run the game; Cricket on the other hand only sees the harassment of
Umpires by the infamous ‘ows that’ quote.
Surely the magnitude of Manchester United against Chelsea will attract more publicity than Warwickshire against Hertfordshire.
Footballers presumably may have a more lavish lifestyle, but one has to question if sixty thousand supporters chanting your name will impede your thoughts or merely boost the adrenaline rush? Most notably, comparing the extent of stadiums between the two will only overshadow the other as cricket produces a measly fifteen thousand capacity stadiums. Even though many cricket coaches concede Football of being regarded as a weekend religion, many are hesitant when the international scene beckons. ‘I think the rivalries in the international game are more intense than the football game’ as Ramiz Raja gives his own opinion.
Football may display the royalties in world sport, but does it offer more than just an eleven aside encounter? Cricket can convincingly claim its wide Varity of options. From test matches to twenty-twenty encounters. But can offering more ruin the true value of the sport?
.
Nevertheless Cricket presumably may entertain the viewers with its rich Varity, but again do the long hours of cricket slightly take the sting out of the mammoth encounters? Especially during a five day test match where both teams try to outwit each other, by batting the whole day out. Nevertheless on a more neutral note, this tedious tactic cannot surely by more thrilling than a 0-0 draw in a cup final?
From the many brawls, to the events regarded as miracles, both cricket and football surely do indebt us to countless forms of entertainment. Cricket may be for the more modish people, providing the world with a new dimension of skill, but this crown surely must be raised to the world of Football. As the thrill, share velocity and the divine passion are just miniature elements that made up the distinctive world of football.
