Yep, I'm a cricket fan. As Kokuu mentioned we regularly discuss English cricket and the ups and downs of Essex and Kent at the county level. The first test of a three match series between England and New Zealand starts this Thursday which should be interesting.

County I'm a Notts fan... on the international level I really have no rooting interest although it's fun to watch India lose (sorry, not sorry) just to watch all the reactions, excuses, finger pointing..

My son is currently doing work experience at Kent County Cricket during the T20 matches. Kent are not having a good season, though.
Watching England recently has not been entirely pleasurable either!
It is a game that takes time to mature!Like actual cricket ... this thread took 13 years (!!) to make some headway ...

Cricket is never watched for pleasure, Sir. It's life itself, between the wickets, with slips and bouncers, and googlies and last-minute sixers turning everything around.
Cricket is watched for tea.

Well not entirely surprising for a game that can last 5 days, stops several times for tea, and can still be rained off or end in a draw!
I'm quite fond of Indian cricket and Tendulkar was one of my favourite players. The politics though, is worthy of a soap opera.
If anyone is interested, I recently listened to an excellent podcast on the history of the game which discusses, amongst other things, the class division between batters and bowlers, which is something I'd never really considered before but makes sense - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/t...cket-140173163

I lost my taste for Indian Cricket ever since its "corporatisation" and mass media celebrity penchant in India. They appear from morning to midnight in every place, except playing the game on the field. A famous cartoon from late R.K. Laxman summarized it well.
