Did you know that the history of the Cricket sport dates back to 17th century and that it was found out that the shepherds of England were traced to have played its early forms?  So how is the Cricket sport really played?  Most of the times, Cricket is misunderstood to be baseball.  The Cricket’s language is more complicated as it is more confusing to watch the actual play of the game.  Just like in baseball, it is also played in the field with the batsman tuck and ready with the wicketkeeper and the umpire behind him.  The difference lays in the pitch where it is really not a pitch but instead a bowl.  Getting more confused?  It simply means that the pitcher doesn’t throw the bowl to a batter but bowls overhand to a batsman/striker.  There are 11 players that are fielded all at the same time.      If you are interested to learn more or to catch a game of cricket, you won’t be able to miss it when you go on holidays in Barbados.  This sport is the famous and national sport of the Barbadians and the West Indies.  Barbados is home to the international capitals of cricket.  Barbadians play a large part and success of the West Indies team.  In fact, famous Barbadian cricket bowlers and batsmen have put their names in the history of Cricket.Catching a good game of cricket with either the International Test Match or a one-day game at the Kensington Oval can be included in your to-do-things list when you are on Barbados holidays.  You will surely also have fun when you spot those friendly games that played on the beach or some village as it is mostly played anywhere in the island after which you also get to enjoy the after match celebrations!
