...appears to be speaking angrily to his wife as he uses the phrase “woman you don’t know how you nearly lose a husband”. We can tell that he is angry because his first statement is “don’t ask no stupid question”, also because of his tone of voice which is loud and by him saying that he is “vex, vex, vex”. He is speaking to her about one of their relatives named Tanti Merle. Tanti Merle is described as a sixty-five (65) year old woman from St. Vincent who is currently visiting Trinidad. It is her (Tanti Merle’s) birthday and the narrator’s wife convinced him to take Tanti Merle with him to the Oval to see a cricket match. The match is being played between Trinidad and the Combined Islands. The latter of which Tanti Merle is a fan. The Oval refers to the Queens Park Oval which has been in existence for one hundred and five (105) years (Besson, 1).[1] Cricket was a growing sport at this time. It was very popular then and still is today. The narrator is showing his regret about taking Tanti Merle to the oval by repeating the word never in regards to not taking anyone to the Oval again. He also says “When I going to the Oval, is me alone and god going”. He then goes on to explain why he regrets taking Tanti Merle to the Oval. The first reason being that Tanti Merle is not a very good time keeper. She delayed their start by taking the...

...L.JJ. * Injunction - Jurisdiction to grant - Nuisance - Houses built adjoining village cricket ground - Damage to property and potential danger to occupants - Action by householder for damages for negligence and nuisance and injunction against playing cricket - Liability established - Whether equitable remedy of injunction appropriate where public interest outweighing interest of private individuals Members of a village club played cricket in the evenings and at week-ends in the summer months on a small ground where cricket had been played since about 1905, when it was surrounded by agricultural fields. The ground was leased to the club by the owners, the National Coal Board, which in, 1965 sold part of the adjacent pasture land to the local council who in 1970 sold it to developers. A line of houses was built so sited that it was inevitable that so long as cricket was played on the ground some balls hit beyond the boundary would fall into the rear gardens or on to or against the houses, despite a six-foot concrete boundary fence. In 1972 the plaintiffs bought one of the houses the rear [1977] Q.B. 966 Page 967 garden of which had a boundary with the cricket ground. Soon after taking possession they began to complain of incidents causing actual damage to their house and apprehension of personal injury which interfered with their enjoyment of their house and garden whenever cricket was being played; and though in 1975 the club increased the height of the boundary fence to...

It was stated in court that the ball had been hit over the wall only three times in the last ten...

...Colonial past with the sport of cricket to deliver a thoroughly entertaining and insightful piece of cinema. The film depicts the oppression faced by peasants in “Champaner” by its colonial rulers who demanded a higher tax rate from the peasants despite the economic hardships they were facing. To oppose this harsh tax the peasants are challenged to a “winner take all” Cricket match against the British, setting up a true underdog sports story where the inexperienced Indian peasants rise up to face the mighty British empire on a Cricket pitch. Through the lens of a glorified Cricket match between Indian peasants and the British Officer’s Lagaan broaches a wide variety of issues that plagues colonial India. Issues like the economic dependence of peasants on “baarish” to ensure a good crop have been prominently displayed in the film. The film also carefully brings up the subject of segregation based on caste, when the villagers consider the Character “kachra” (which means garbage) as “achoot” ( untouchable) because he belongs to a lowly caste. The film attempts to denounce this notion of segregation by providing “kachra” the support of the protagonist who is able to rise beyond the caste system and include “kachra” to become an integral part of the team. Although the premise of the film is quite improbable, it does well to show the true oppressive and whimsical nature of the British in India. By challenging the peasants to a against the odds cricket match, the film showcases how...

...Introduction: Cricket, pre-IPL was a bit staid and long, engaging generally to young men from the sub-continent. It had lost its spark with the Englishmen and the West Indians apart from some notable exceptions like the Ashes. At the same time post IPL, we have had an altogether new kind of supporters who have grasped the diversion, its numerous contrasts with more and more thronging into stadiums to watch the matches. IPL figured out how to unite cricketers from diverse nationalities, lure them with fat pay checks, roped in enormous publicists who don't reconsider before spending too much on their brands for prime time eye space, got cheer leaders to cheer for teams and made their way into ICC's schedule. In this way, by a wise mixture of dealing with nature's domain almost consummately and organizing fabulous encounters each time a match was played, esteem creation was no more, the right of a solitary element. Rather, different stakeholders met up on a commonly remunerating stage and lavished the cricket cherishing swarms with some positively vital passage. The whole tournament was a runaway hit, with many attributable reasons. Some of them were: 1. India being a cricket crazy nation, anything with cricket sells. 2. By having regional teams for almost all big cities, IPL tackled the regionalist mind-set of Indians 3. With Cricketainment the IPL combined cricket and entertainment giving consumers a two-in one shot 4. Concept of cheer leaders was first for...

...accidents; examples of these sports include cycling, motor racing and bobsleighing. Helmets are also worn by batsmen in cricket to protect the head from the hard ball, which travels extremely fast when it has left the bowler’s hand as the helmet absorbs the shock of the ball and therefore minimises the effect on the batter. Shin pads: Shin pads are worn in many sports to support and protect the shins and ankles; wearing shin pads can help to prevent injuries such as fractures and sprains as well as reducing the likelihood of suffering from bruising and swelling. Shin pads are commonly worn in football, hockey and ice hockey. They minimise the risk of an injury as the plastic gets inbetween the other player and your shin while absorbing some of the shock. Gum shield: A gum shield is extremely important in many physical sports such as rugby and boxing as there is a high chance of the participant getting g hit in the jaw/head, the reason why the gum shield is extremely important when minimising the risk of injuries as gum shields reduce cuts to the lip, mouth and tongue, protect teeth and help to prevent jaw and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets slammed against the upper jaw Pads: In cricket you have to wear multiple pads in order to keep them safe, the reasons why these pads provide protection and are needed is because the cricket ball is extremely hard and the ball is usually traveling at high speeds and by having these protective...

...[Management Views from IIMB is an exclusive column written every two weeks for india.wsj.com by faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.] Who sells the largest number of cameras in India? Your guess is likely to be Sony, Canon or Nikon. Answer is none of the above. The winner is Nokia whose main line of business in India is not cameras but cell phones. Reason being cameras bundled with cellphones are outselling stand alone cameras. Now, what prevents the cellphone from replacing the camera outright? Nothing at all. One can only hope the Sonys and Canons are taking note. Try this. Who is the biggest in music business in India? You think it is HMV Sa-Re-Ga-Ma? Sorry. The answer is Airtel. By selling caller tunes (that play for 30 seconds) Airtel makes more than what music companies make by selling music albums (that run for hours). Incidentally Airtel is not in music business. It is the mobile service provider with the largest subscriber base in India. That sort of competitor is difficult to detect, even more difficult to beat (by the time you have identified him he has already gone past you). But if you imagine that Nokia and Bharti (Airtel's parent) are breathing easy you can't be farther from truth. Nokia confessed that they all but missed the smartphone bus. They admit that Apple's Iphone and Google's Android can make life difficult in future. But you never thought Google was a mobile company, did you? If these ...

...28th October 2011 Reflective journal Section M I start reading the with something unknown to me but as i move further in book,i become so glad to have solution of my main problems in my hand and start reading with more interest. I realised that indeed I’ve many paradigms and the first of all the paradigm I’m having is that somehow I believe that I’m not a good cricketer. I’ve been playing cricket since I was 9 years old. I’ve played for my school, academy and numerous clubs, but the fact that I’ve never been able to score a century and that some of my fellows are playing today at a higher level than me is something that annoys me. Moreover I also think that I’m a slow or maybe poor learner. It takes me hours to understand few pages of my course pack and consequently I’m always unable to score good in exams because mostly I’m not able to complete my syllabus on time. Similarly I think that I’m not an intelligent student Principles are foundation of any great personalities in the world because they show you to world what you are.principle of loyalty is which i am following because loyalty to any cuase , task ,person takes you nearer to that and inreturn you will get loyalty of that.Principle of respect is also an important factor that's what i m following baecuase great personalities...

...society cannot function with one gender but rather both genders are required to achieve development and growth. In Trinidad and Tobago women have contributed positively in the areas of sports, culture, education, family life, leadership and politics and continue to do so for the greater good of the country. Women in the field of sports have also impacted on the development of Trinidad and Tobago. Any country that supports and promotes a woman in sports has already showed great development in nation building. In the past suppression of women was rampant and her role was mainly seen as a housewife. Men dominated sporting activities while the women were on the sidelines. In 1973 the Trinidad and Tobago women’s cricket team appeared in the first women’s cricket world cup where they finished fifth out of seven teams. But they were not recognized and compensated as is being done today for other athletes. So, one can clearly see how much changes has occurred and how the country has developed towards women in the field of sports. Today, sports can be found in every primary and secondary school including tertiary level institutions used as a developmental tool for the overall molding of our nation’s children. Parents are now encouraging both...
