I've never even seen it played, but I would like to know more about it. It looks, from what little I have seen and heard, pretty interesting. Plus the cricket bat looks pretty cool.

As one American said, after watching a match for an hour, 'great game, when does it start?'

It said trying to explain cricket is impossible, and I must say, I never believed it untill i tried exp;aiing it to people.

I love the game, all forms of it. Saw SA play Pakistan this weekend (which, b.t.w. we won, ofcourse!)

Great game. "I don't like cricket, I love it' as the great master sang!

AH

When I was in Sinapore I went to a cricket match and as a naive American I was totally confused, especially when everyone stopped for tea. I do not know if that is standard, but I was amazed that a break like that was taken.

I used to work with a couple of guys who always talked Cricket. One was from Pakistan, and the other was from Guyana. I must admit, their enthusiasm made me curious about the sport (Though I'm not a baseball fan), and I find it interesting that people from different countries can find a common interest like that.
