Cricket, football, Formula one and motor
tuning
The modern version of cricket originated from England, and is a team based
sport. The sport itself is very popular in areas that used to make up the British Empire. Idiosyncratic
is the language of cricket, and would somewhat reflect the complicated nature of the eccentric game. There
are ten major international test cricket teams these are: the West Indies, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, South
Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Australia and England.
Two teams with eleven players on each side compete against each other on a ground
called a pitch. The game comprises of players with various abilities, some of whom specialise in bowling,
some at batting and occasionally some who are good at both batting and bowling. There is one player that is
considered to be highly specialist and this is the wicket keeper. The aim of the bowler is to knock the
wickets off the stumps. The game is good fun and has many followers. There are many famous people who
have made there name through the game of cricket, Ian Botham, Mike Gatting and Shaun Pollock, to name but a
few.
The international test cricket teams have major sponsorship deals from big brand
names, and it is these brand names that also sponsor players in Football. Football is one of the biggest
sports that attracts good sponsorship deals, and the higher up in the division a team is, the more likely a willing
sponsor is to come forward, with a deal. Another sport which also requires a huge sponsorship deal is Formula
One. This is possibly one of the highest paid in sponsorship deals that there is in the sporting
calendar.
A huge investment is required in the sponsorship of Formula One, when backing a
racing driver, the sponsor would back the driver from the beginning of his career to the end, and the further the
racing car driver gets up the ladder the more in the way of money the driver will need to compete. The
maintenance of the car alone costs a small fortune. But in Formula One money is the name of the game, and
with the season lasting nine months, and the prospect of having 6 million people watching, it is often too good an
opportunity to miss.
During the motor racing season the maintenance of the vehicles on track, will be
imperative to the drivers performance and Motor Tuning and Diesel Tunin will come as part of the service. Good sponsorship will always be
required for sporting events such as Formula One, Cricket and Football.
