What is the best way to hold the ground tightly? It is none other than the spikes mounted beneath the shoes. You should look forspikes if youare a professional player. All cricket pitches have different characteristics, so it is essential to hold the ground to make sure that you never miss any opportunity. If you are not habitual of wearing shoes with spikes, then consider buying shoes with rubber spikes before shifting to the ones with metal spikes

100 overs and then the match going for super over. Still, nothing separates both the sides. But a team wins it based on the number of boundaries.

Cricket World Cup 2019 will be long remembered for the crazy last hour of play of the tournament. It saw both the sides geared up their for a golden chance of lifting the cup. And in the end, nothing could separate both the sides. Not even the super over. After the whole quota of 100 overs, the match was tied at 241 runs. And a super over was called upon. A super over in the final of the world cup. Can it get any bigger than this? 

It was some crazy final and at last, England was declared the winner based on the boundary rule. They scored 26 boundaries to New Zealand’s 17. Many experts of the game and the former cricketers themselves have come to openly criticize such a parameter of picking the winner. Here are some points to think upon whether a world cup final ever be decided based on the number of boundaries scored.

A lot of debate can be done whether or not this rule is in the spirit of the game. But for the time being, New Zealand knew about this rule from the starting of the super over itself. When England put on 15 runs. They knew that only 16 will do it for them. It was not as if they were told about it after their innings, they knew about it well in advance. So it was completely fair in the context of the game.

We, as cricket fans, tend to be more emotional at times. This rule is in the system for some time now. And it was just bad luck on the part of New Zealand that they have to understand it the hard way. By losing the world cup final. Had it been a bilateral series, it wouldn’t have gathered this much headlines. But this does not hide the fact that the rule is totally absurd and is a shame on the part of ICC. If even a super over cannot separate the sides, it should have been, simply hands down, the trophy should have been shared. Those bunch of players didn’t deserve that runner-up’s medal and a world cup final should never be decided based on the number of boundaries.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
