Gotta say, once you start to understand the game, you get into it.

Was it a T20 World Cup game you saw?

Saw the last few at bats by sohli? I think.
Watching test cricket can also be enjoyable when you do get into it, watching live 3-4 days of it. When I was 12-13 I watched West Indies vs Aust or NZOriginally posted by Zealot:Originally posted by ads_2006:Watched cricket today because my brother in law is over and is a fan.

Test match cricket is the true form of the game. One day cricket is something of a meh. 20/20 is just a farce.

Like it or loath it 20/20 has brought a completely new fan demographic to the game in its short time and has the appeal to bring in fans from non traditional cricket countries.

Yeah, Test is top dog for me and loved ODI's in their 80's heyday, but I think the two shorter forms are the only way real expansion will ever occur.
Originally posted by RishikeshA:I'm here in India and as soon as Dhoni won the game on the 1st ball of the 20th over fire crackers and car horns went off. It reminded when I was living in Manhattan and the Yankees won their last World Series, fans were yelling from the roof tops. Kholi's knock was awesome, he was playing singles and as soon as the 16th or 17th over came he was shot out of a cannon and took over the game. Australia had no answer. Somewhere in India Anushka Sharma is saying, "Virat, please come back to me so I can get National Exposure again". For those unaware Anushka is a Bollywood actress who was dating Kholi, she received as much airtime during games as Kholi.

Yeah, it's a religion over there for sure. Can only imagine how crazy it'll get if they win the whole thing. Weren't a lot of Indian fans complaining about Kholi's involvement with Anushka as his form was down at the time?

Shame for the Kiwis... They played so well all tournament, but it might be a classic case of peaking too early... Keep your heads up that elusive WC victory in either ODI or T20 seems not too far away.
