Spring Blossoms & Cricket on Campus !

Cricket fans discussing who they thought would win the Chanderpaul Trophy at the national Championship.

Cricket is blooming all over college campuses (or should that be campi ?), and reinforces the fact that this game is the most versatile and flexible. In fact the Gators recently completed a Double Wicket Competition ! Here are 3 Events that have happened, or will happen soon: 

TEXAS A & M – AGGIES CRICKET CLUB 

Whilst the Aggies team was in Ft Lauderdale competing in the 2011 National Championships, the remaining members of the Club held a Spring Break Hard Tennis Ball Tournament. Team 8 won, defeating Team 6 (Da Juggernautz) in the Finals. Congrats !

 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GATOR CRICKET CLUB – DOUBLE WICKET CHAMPIONSHIP 

From Club President K Dase : “This semester our club has come up with new addition and wishes to revive this lost form of cricket. This format of the game is more efficient to involve non-regular cricket players and beginners. Also, it develops endurance skill among regular players. So, everyone is welcome to be a part of it.

RUTGERS SUPER SIX

The Laws of Cricket apply except:

Each team will consist of 6 players and will play a 5 over game. Each innings will last 5 overs or 20 mins, whichever comes first. Final will be 8 overs.

Wides and no-balls will count as two runs.

Free hits will be offered on both wides and no-balls.

An innings will be concluded if 5 overs are completed or all 6 wickets fall.
