why I love cricket so much?

[puzzled]

I used to watch cricket a lot back in school, but mainly coz I went to a paki majority school    so Pak vs Ind matches ended up becoming more important than your GCSEs   it was like a war a matter of izat  lmao!

Even the teachers used to give up lessons on those days

When it was ind vs pak in 2011 the year ind won the world cup, I went in wearing on of those orange backpacks with a khanda on it that they used to give out on nagar kirtans     LMAO 

Now I look back and it was just stupid 

I dnt watch it any more

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?

Are you still watching cricket? What is it about cricket that you find addictive ?

It's the third or fourth most popular sport in UK. Probably because there is less open space here and the weather is worse, that limits how much kids can play it. 

Soccer is by far the most popular. Rugby is second. 

Do you watch all types of cricket? What do you think of T20?

I hv started to watch less cricket lately but I do keep an eye on the scores.

There are so many dimensions in cricket.

Fielding

Batting: defense, attack

Bowling: fast, spin, leg spin....

God's creation is beautiful. Sports are part of that creation. Cricket is a beautiful sport.....

Cricket has become very popular in punjab.

Sadly parents in India put too much pressure on their kids to become doctors and engineers and not sportsmen.

Nothing wrong there at all. We need hobbies. Just do not let it overtake your life. Too much of anything is bad for the health.
