THE 10 BEST SPORTS EVENTS IN THE WORLD

Live a close relationship with the world of betting that goes back far into the past. As early as the seventeenth century, people were enthusiastically playing large amounts on the results of matches and, according to cricket journalist Malcolm Knox, the game was "an apology to bet." Wealthy patrons of cricket created teams to confront other sets in par- tidos in which there were forks in play, a situation that in 1664 led to the approval of a law on betting in England, with the objective of limiting the amounts that were They could bet on such encounters. The players themselves have also been involved in this dark side of cricket. In recent years, a series of flogging scandals has shaken the sport. In 2000, the ex-captain of South Africa and national hero, Hansie Cronje, was suspended for life for accepting bribes over an amount of one hundred thousand dollars from a betting syndicate, in exchange for rigging matches and giving betting information. He would die in a plan...

There are many more examples of a practice that is not new to the world of cricket. Already in 1873 the first penalty was given to a player, Ted Pooley, for "selling a game", by betting against his own team in a match in which he played  PSL Live Cricket 2018 . Moreover, according to cricket journalist Aranubha Sengupta, the manipulation of results for bets had already risen to unbridled levels one hundred years before the punishment of Pooley. The playing styles used in the field have also damaged the chivalrous image of cricket. For example, the edition of 'The Ashes' played between December 1932 and February 1933 produced one of the most infamous episodes in the history of cricket. In 1930, the Australian team had won the trophy in England, led by a magnificent Don Bradman, the famous batsman who appears, along with legendary names like WG Grace, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, Garry Sobers and Viv Richards, in the best eleven of the history chosen by the respect...

However, there are times when the 'victim' manages to turn the situation around. In a match against Zimbabwe, the great Australian pitcher Glenn McGrath tried to bite hitter Eddo Brandes with the question: "Why are you so fat?". Brandes' answer was blunt: "Because every time I shoot your wife, she gives me a cookie." For his part, the Australian Rod Marsh was the author of this comment to the legendary English player, Ian Botham: "How about your wife and my children?" Botham's response? "My wife is fine, but the children are retarded." What would Gale, the defender of mental control, the courage and the nobility of cricket, say if he were alive to hear such confrontations between the 'gentlemen' of his beloved sport?

As in football we have a Cristiano Ronaldo or Lio Messi who are cracks and millionaires, also in cricket there are great figures who fatten up their portfolio. The first example is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, an Indian player who receives revenues of close to $ 23 million dollars, thanks to his nearly 25 sponsorship contracts that he has individually with brands such as PEPSI, Reebok and Sony, among others. In addition, we must add the little more than $ 3 million dollars that he receives from salary per year as a player from his team  Worth of every team in psl . . Another example is Sachin Tendulkar, the best hitter of his generation, who has 16 sponsors such as Adidas, Coca-Cola, Castrol and Toshiba, who pay him the succulent figure of $ 16 million dollars. Interesting case of a distant world for us but extremely profitable, speaking in terms of sports marketing.

Millionaire Leagues In terms of income, I share some examples of what tournaments and cricket leagues enter the year for sponsorships and television rights: The "Premier League India" receives about $ 165 million dollars, followed by some international tournaments with $ 68 million, the English league $ 66 million and Australia $ 57 million. In India, the main sponsor of cricket is the financial sector, followed by telecommunications and non-alcoholic beverages. PEPSI is one of the main sponsors of the "Indian Premier League" and pays for this $ 14 million dollars per year. In addition, this league has the support of other companies such as Vodafone and Yes Bank. Something attractive will see these brands in a population of one thousand 200 million people where cricket is the national sport. In the leagues like the English, the Australian and the New Zealand, the main sponsors are banks, brewers and car manufacturers. We can find other sponsoring sectors suc...

I tell you about this: Cricket is a sport similar to baseball, where they play 11 vs 11 and throw a ball to which the opponent must hit him with a shovel, looking to run to the other end and completing a race. This sport originated in England several hundred years ago and by the 18th century it was already the most popular sport in the country. Later with the epoch of colonial expansion, England exported its practice to the countries it dominated. Currently cricket is played in England, Wales, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand, South A...
