The Early Years and the Rise to domination 

Cricket in many places around the world was introduced to the local population by the ruling British. So was the case with the British colonies of the West Indies Federation. It was a collection of various British ruled islands such as Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, St. Lucia, among others and British Guyana. Early matches involved touring British teams and the local sides. West Indies became the 4th test playing nation in 1928. 

George Headley, the non-white West Indian player emerged as the best player of the team, when it was led by a white player. The locals took instant notice to Headley, who was called the Black Bradman. With time, there was rise of three WsEverton Weekes, Clyde Walcott and Frank Warrel along with the spin kings Sonny Ramadhin and Alf Valentine. These players began winning the test matches with their brilliant performances. The team were winning against all oppositions and in all countries.

4 Tricks to Make Fast Cash from 11Wickets App

In case you are new to the fantasy cricket world, you’ll be wondering how 11Wickets app works. And how to win money? In this blog post, we will make an effort to explain how 11Wickets app work and some tips and tricks which you can use to beat others in your contest. 

You simply need to do 3 things to play fantasy cricket: 

  • Select an upcoming match and make a team of 11 players from both teams
  • Deposit money and sign up for some contests utilizing your team 
  • Following the match starts, track your scoreboard and see if your team wins 

Tip #1: Use the app that lets team customization after the toss 

Most daily fantasy cricket apps close the contest entries One hour before the official match beginning time. Which means you cannot be absolutely sure about the playing XI of both the teams. As the toss is usually done only Half an hour before start time, you may have more possibilities to predict the best players. So, try 11Wickets app that enables you to modify your team prior to the match starts. Likewise, after the toss, you will be aware of which team is going to bat first. So depending on this, you should be able to guess the opening players and bowlers and can pick the best mix of players. 

Tip #2: Join compact but confirmed contests 

In case you are joining a large contest exceeding 10,000 members, the likelihood of reaching Rank 1 and therefore winning that big sum is very low. To win cash easily and with more probabilities, try joining small contests with 10 or 20 members. It really is easier to beat 9 other members in comparison with 9,999 other members. Check if the contest is a confirmed contest, as well. Therefore the contest will run even if it is not full. 

Tip #3: Be familiar with the points system 

Every online fantasy cricket app has distinct points structure. A lot of them give more points to Batting such as runs, the fifties etc., a few give more value to bowling. Also, some apps like 11Wickets give different points for ODI, T20 and Test matches. According to the match and app’s points’ structure, go for suitable players. 

Tip #4: Choose your star players sensibly 

11Wickets let marking two players as Captain and Vice-Captain. If a cricketer scores 10 points, the same cricketer if chosen as captain, can get 2x, i.e. 20 points. Vice-captain gets 1.5x, so 15 points. Therefore you have to think a whole lot before selecting a player as captain or vice-captain. Consider the recent performances of these players and come to a decision. 

Thinking of playing in 11Wickets? Get the app soon!

Fantasy Cricket Record Diary – Best Catches in Cricket

warm greeting to all fantasy cricket India fans! Welcome back to yet another post at your favourite fantasy cricket game platform, 11wickets App. 

A popular phrase in the cricket world and among the daily fantasy cricket fans goes like this – “Catches wins matches.”  

A single catch or a single catch drop can turn the head of a match for teams along with online fantasy cricket fans.  

Let us take a look at top 5 catches in the history of cricket including all the formats. 

Suresh Raina 

With the advent of the 21st century, a new era began in Indian Cricket. Sourav Ganguly’s stoic leadership saw many youngsters in the team who not only improved the existing fielding standards but inspired the future generations to become more physically fit. Suresh Raina took the catch of Younis Khan during Asia Cup. He dived back to grab a lightning ball, that was Khan’s shot to get him out at 52. Raina’s catch helped in the slowing of the Pakistan innings towards the end. 

Jonty Rhodes 

Jonty Rhodes took this catch off a Lance Klusner delivery. The shot hit by Robert Croft of England was going high above Jonty’s head. Realising that he could get only a hand to it, Rhodes raised his left hand to somehow deflect the ball and then as the ball fell after his deflection, he caught it. The catch at the time of Rhodes was considered to be the greatest. 

Angelo Mathews 

This is probably Sri Lanka’s best catch ever. The shot hit by David Warner was caught very near the ropes by a jumping Mathews. No sooner did he take the catch, he realised that he would run on the ropes. So, he threw it out, just in the nick of time to make it a legitimate catch instead of a six. The catch provided an entry into the match for Sri Lanka as Australia were going strong at 72 for just 1 wicket and requiring 85 more runs to win at a run rate of 6.5. The catch was taken off Ajantha Mendis’s bowling. 

David Hussey 

David Hussey fielding in the long on jumped to try and grab a ball that was hit by Paul Collingwood of Delhi team during a match of the Indian T20 league. He could not grab it and instead managed to deflect it near him as he jumped right on the edge of the ropes, catching the ball. Realizing his inability to keep himself from going over the ropes, Hussey threw the ball up again. And this time when it started falling down, he dashed from behind the ropes and took the catch with one hand. 

Adam Gilchrist 

This catch brings to the fore the athletics, concentration and presence of mind of Adam Gilchrist. The catch of Marcus Trescothick off a Shane Warne delivery in the 2001 Ashes is the best catch of all. With the scoreboard at 52 for null, Trescothick tried a remodelled sweep, to hit the ball to the cover boundary. Instead, he ended up hitting the heel of the fielder at silly point. The ball went up on the rebound, with the fielder in agony. Gilchrist realized that the ball had gone up and was on its way down near the silly point. He raced from behind the stumps and jumped near the foot of the fielder to collect the ball just in the nick of time.
