Cricket fighting was very popular in my hometown in the seventies when the local farmers used to catch and sell them in the city. I was crazy about them and used to buy some with the little money I got from my parents. That was a time when I was small without toys to play with. Then cricket fighting was something that was very attractive to me during the summers. But ever since the eighties, no more crickets have ever been seen to be on sale in the market. I still miss it and wish to enjoy cricket fighting once more, but without any luck.
This morning (December 21st, 2009) I happened to see a photo of cricket fighting and it reminds me of my happy childhood enjoying cricket fighting.
I am wondering whether you have heard about cricket fighting or whether you enjoy it. It is a lot of fun.

The first time i heard and saw cricket fighting is from my grandfather, during my childhood time. My grandfather is very fond of this cricket fighting that he will keep a pair of crickets in a small box and enjoy watching them fighting. Although i don't really enjoy watching those cricket fighting but at least i can see it makes my grandfather feels more entertain watching cricket fighting, rather than watching television. Anyway, it had been more than 20 years, i didn't saw any cricket in my area.

Here in my city I have not seen it ever since I reached my late teens. It is entertaining to watch them fighting. Thank you for the comment, my dear friend.

You are welcome, friend. By the way, the crickets appear in the summer and are gone in late autumn. So that is the life span of theirs. I love to hear their sound, good to hear.

Hello my friend williamjisir Ji,
Well, after I posted and saw some photo atattched, I did realize my mistake, once you respond through Alert message, I am aken to a window, where there is no such photo, and I respond without that. Anyway,I understood that it is not a cricket for which some countries including India is mad...mad. Ha..Ha..
May God bless You and have a great time.

I know that crickets are just insects but why do you except that they can be taken from their natural environment and forces into an unnatural act for your entertainment. Crickets have moms and dads and friends and sure they have to fight for love but that is a nature intended, not man. Many of us feel that all things on earth are here for our use and pleasure, just look around you and you will see what a mess that type of thinking has cause of our planet. Soarry about going on and on, but the road to ruin starts with one step at a time. Have a good Holiday.
