why I love cricket so much?

[shastarSingh]

before becoming amritdhari, I used to watch lots of cricket, tennis and lots of movies.

after becoming amritdhari, I completely stopped watching tennis and watch very few movies as I want to give more time to my spiritual life.

But I am unable to give up on my cricket addiction.

is cricket the greatest sport discovered by man?

I just love the ball(a type of weapon)

bowled at 150km/hr and the bat(a type of weapon) has to hit the ball

I was cricket mad in my younger days but watching it is one of the biggest wastes of time.

T20 takes 3 hours to complete

ODI takes 7 hours

Test takes 5 days!

I watched the World Cup last year but that's all I can manage.

I've stopped following football as well apart from the Champions League Final and World Cup.

I do watch boxing but that isn't every week and the fights are over in 45 mins.

Think of all you can do in that time you spend watching cricket. You can learn a skill and do some personal development. At the end of the day whether a team wins or loses has no impact on your own life. The only people benefitting are the athletes.

As the Roman's said sports are bread and circuses for the masses to keep them distracted from real problems.

It's ok to watch now and then. The problem I have is with these team sports that are on every single week. The fans get too financially and emotionally invested.

Cricket is a sport I like. But I think football (soccer) is the greatest sports game

Sports have got really big since Tv .

unless you went regularly to stadiums, I doubt sports teams occupied the minds of as much people

Yeah, it's a relatively new phenomenon. At the end of the day they're just GAMES!

I tried watching soccer but never liked it.

Field hockey is better than soccer for me.

batting,bowling, fielding,,fast bowling,spin bowling
