cricket is a wonderful game.
now on the arguments here -- it's a matter of perspective. I have heard people say football's boring. Most of the people in Asia think baseball some lame game from ancient neolithic times.
It's even more funny that people like watching golf! Nothing is boring if golf isn't!
However, ALL games are lots of fun to "play", but only some can enjoy watching these games -- those who know about the game.
I play a cricket on a professional level - not because I didn't like football or any other sport for that matter, but because I loved cricket more than any other sport, any other activity and and other hobby. It must be because I have been around people excited about cricket ever since I was born. My mom tells me I learned basic cricket terminology when I was 2!
