If I need to discredit the game, I need to dissect it. So I looked up images of a pitch. And I’m fascinated that the game shares it’s name with an insect. How ingenious. Tho it’s rare that you’ll see anyone playing a beetle or 12 guys in fancy dress going out there to play termites.
So I investigated. It’s breathtaking. Maybe I am on the path of where no man has gone before. Check out the diagram. It’s a ventral view of the cricket….and I’ve done a bit of analysis and checked against the game’s pitch.
Please tell me the fortunes of nations aren’t rooted in the zoological representation of this bug.
Those of you arm chair critics reading this will have a few tiny pointers on exact location on the pitch. To that I say – just minor adjustments. But look at the big picture. It’s scary!!!
P.S: Check out the pitch. Hmmm…is that why the inventors of the game have something called The Oval??? Maybe that’s how it was supposed to be.
