Definitely, I'm just hoping Warne will do well now (whilst kicking myself for being a disloyal England fan)

Hi, There! I am Stefano Quaino. I am from Italy. At the moment, I am 3rd in the overall competition! I hope to keep this position after the last test! I really enjoy this game!

Hi, Zuhair! Thanks for the message! What about cricket in Italy? Well, it is not played a lot. However, Italy is an associate member of ICC, there are a national federation, a national league and a national team, which takes part to several competitions. Lots of the players have indian / pakistani / sri lankan roots. Some of them are born in Italy, so in some ways they are 100% Italians. In the First Division (Serie A), there are six teams. This is the scoreboard of a League Match in Italy. As you can see there are lots of players with asian roots.

However, don't forget one thing. If you exclude the British Isles, cricket is almost unknown in Europe. You can find some decent teams in the Netherlands and in Denmark, but in the rest of the continent very few people play cricket. If in a town there are some indian / pakistani / sri lankan communities, then you can find some men gathering in a garden or in a park and playing cricket.

PS: Please... Call me, Stefano, which is my first name. Quaino is my family name.
