Wicke(d)/(t) Cricket

Who is the best cricket player in the world? Which team do you support? Questions that are easily answered by anybody from India. But what answer would a German exchange student give? None! Cricket is hardly known in Germany. Many even confuse the sport with croquet.

Our German exchange student Jakob therefore started the quest to explore the world of cricket. He interviewed his Indian host to explain the rules to him.

At the end, Jakob was still quite confused. But, just listen yourself.

Day 7 – Astonishing Interview of Mr Madan Lal

Madan Lal Interview
Mr. Madan Lal during his interview in LVIS

Everybody knows how to play cricket. Even we German students from Johannes-Turmair-Gymnasium tried to play a match with our Indian friends. But such matches are only for fun. We wanted to know what it is like to play on a professional level. What do you need to get better and how can you stay focused so long.

During our exchange we got the chance to interview the former national cricket player Mr Madan Lal. He visited our school and explained us what it is like to be a professional athlete. He also emphasized strongly the importance of school sports and reminded our students to stay focused if they want to be successful in live.

A short part of the interview with Mr Madan Lal can be seen in the following video:
