    The first time I heard of cricket was as a child when reading Douglas Adam’s H2G2. It seemed so ridiculous I immediately assumed it was a fictive sport invented by the author. How wrong I was.

    Also it’s not just India, it’s in a lot of places they managed to get their grubby colonialist mitts on

      But our Indian sub continent got the most addiction. Our corrupt cricket board get billions of USD from government , scams, advertisers. Most people are just glued to this sport for hundreds of hrs for no reason whatsoever. I will make a rule, any person watching even 1 minute of this match will get 100 lashes from the state. I know it’s Saudi Arabia style but that’s how you can remove the addiction.
