10. Players and 1000 times more discipline than soccer and basketball - those are the 2 other biggest sport than cricket.
11. Whole day entertainment most of the time while the others last no longer than 2 hours most of the time.

Who says a thing about the wage! On standard of living it is better but we are not talking about that. |

Think back to Steve Waughs innings at Sydney against England when he scored that sensational 100. Keiren Perkins swim in the 1500 years ago attracted veiwers but Waughs innings stopped at nation.

It keeps the spectators interested, theres always that though in the back of your head that a ball might be hit for and you can catch. (Unlikly though). What number are we up to now?

You have to have a reasonable understanding in order to enjoy it, football or rugby for example can be enjoyed by the clueless layman because its all very obvious, but Michael Holding's 'Greatest Ever Over' looks pretty innocuous to a casual observer

True, Sledger. Whenever I get on CW from my school, my friends ask what is cricket?? But its not good news for people who like cricket and lives here among cricketless people. Anything can happen while watching and while they are playing. |

16. It's a great leveller - one day you score 100 and take a hatfull of wickets, next you're out for 0 and get hit all over the place!!!

It's got a nice balance between teamwork and individual endeavour - although it's a team game and enjoys all the benefits of comeraderie that entails, it still essentially consists of one-on-one battles where you have no-one to blame but yourself for failure

17. It's sooo UNPREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes that can be a bad thing for people who suffer with their nerves but I guess the suspense can be a good thing too. After all the suspense to see your team come out on top is an amazing feeling. |
