Q4 Do you think cricket owes its present popularity to television? Justify your answer.
Answer. Yes, cricket owes its present popularity to television. Television expanded the
audience for the game by bringing cricket into small towns and villages. It also
broadened cricket’s social base. Children, who had never previously had the chance to
watch international cricket because they lived outside the big cities, could watch and
learn by imitating their heroes. Matches in Sydney could be watched live in Surat.
Cricket, as a result, became available to everyone and thus, gained a lot of popularity.

Q5 Why has cricket a large viewership in India, not in China or Russia?
Answer. Cricket is not a popular team sport in many countries, e.g., China, Russia. Due
to the lack of popularity, its viewership in these countries is also very little. It is the same
case with games like rugby and baseball, which do not enjoy a large viewership in India.
However, games like cricket, soccer and hockey are different. These games are hugely
popular in India because they are played at the grass root level. The greater part of the
Indian population has grown up playing these games, and therefore, has a good amount

Q6 What do you understand by the game’s (cricket) ‘equipment’?
Answer. The game’s ‘equipment’ refers to the tools used in cricket such as the bat, ball,
stumps, gloves, pads, etc. The bat consists of two pieces, the blade which is made out of
the wood of the willow tree and the handle which is made out of cane. Cricket had
refused to remake its tools with industrial or man-made materials such as plastic,
�breglass and metal. But in the matter of protective equipment, cricket has been
in�uenced by technological change. The invention of vulcanised rubber led to the
introduction of pads in 1848 and protective gloves soon afterwards. Now, cricket is
unimaginable without helmets made out of metal and synthetic lightweight materials.

Q7 How is Test cricket a unique game in many ways?
Answer. Test cricket is a unique game as it can go on for �ve days and still end in a draw.
No other modern team sport takes even half as much time to complete.

Q8 How is cricket different from other team games?
Answer. Cricket is different from other team games as one form of it, i.e., Test cricket
takes �ve days to complete and can still end in a draw. No other modern team game takes
even half as much time to complete. A football match is generally over in one and a half
hours. Even baseball completes nine innings in less than half the time that it takes to
play a limited-overs match. Also, the length of the pitch is speci�ed as 22 yards, but the
size or shape of the ground is not. Most other team sports such as hockey and football lay
down the dimensions of the playing area whereas cricket does not. Grounds can be oval
like the Adelaide Oval or nearly circular like Chepauk in Chennai. A six at the Melbourne
Cricket Ground needs to clear much more ground than it does at Feroz Shah Kotla in
Delhi. Also, unlike golf or tennis, some of the cricket’s equipments such as bat and ball
are still made of natural materials, and not from industrial or man-made materials.

Q10 Explain how cricket changed with changing times and yet remained unchanged in
some ways.
Answer. In terms of the rules of the game, cricket has undergone lots of changes with
changing times. From hockey-like bats to the straight bats that we know today; from
bowling underarm to bowling through the air; from being an elite sport to becoming a
game of the masses, cricket has changed a lot. Yet, in many ways it has also remained
unchanged. This can be clearly seen by looking at cricketing equipment. Cricket’s most
important tools are still made of natural, pre-industrial materials. The bat is made with
leather, twine and cork. Even today, both bat and ball are handmade, not industrially
manufactured. Unlike golf and tennis, cricket has refused to remake its tools with
industrial or man-made materials such as plastic, �breglass and metal. However, in the
matter of protective equipment, cricket has been in�uenced by technological change.
