Briefly about Cricket

Even if a lot has happened to the game since its first references back in the mid 16th century, cricket is still a sport held as one of the most historic ones. There’re many stories and historic cricket games to be told and admirers of the sport would claim that cricket is one of the sports that has influenced our history the most.
Today there are several different types of cricket. From the traditional Test matches which are played over five days, to Twenty20 which is a shortened version of the game. One of the reasons behind the shortened forms of cricket is to make it more engaging for the people who want to watch a live cricket game. A game that is running for up to five days is not only extremely long, it’s almost impossible for the fans to follow. There are competitions and leagues for most of the different forms of cricket.

Explaining the Different Cricket Formats

Test Cricket

This is the form of cricket which is seen as the original one. The games can last for up to five days, sometimes even longer. It is not only tough physically, it is also a mentally challenge for the players. In Test cricket two teams of 11 players face each other in a four-innings game. Because of Test cricket’s reputation of being the ‘’heavy weight’’ of cricket, the majority of the nations have created a name and a trophy for each of the different encounters. For example, the meeting between India and Australia is called the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

One Day International

This is a game played between two teams of 11 players but unlike the Test cricket games, the ODI’s has a fixed number of overs. ODI is the format in which the Cricket World Cup is being played.

Twenty20

Twent20 is a shortened version of cricket where the teams have one single inning each and a maximum of 20 overs. The Twenty20 game is the form of cricket that is most similar to other European sports when it comes to game playing time. A normal Twenty20 game take around three hours to play.
