a) There was a British game of cricket introduced among the group but the cricket matches among the Trobrianders made the game their own and used cricket competitions in the similar way as they used the competitions and dances. Among the people of this group, the pattern of playing cricket was quite different and one team used to taunt the other which needs to create a lot of chaos. As the video helps in understanding that these groups started to play cricket as a part of fun activity but ended up to get involved the game into political requirements. This game started to get involved in the entire community and people started to get jealous of each other through the game. An example can be when the team makes a person out they celebrate together and dance which shows that they try to spread their victory.
