In Pakistan,India,Sri Lanka & Bangladesh there are no sporting alternatives that ordinary people can relate to.These countries have not excelled in the more exciting ball games such as soccer & tennis thanks to lack of infrastructure & governmental support.Yet cricketers continue to emerge from complete obscurity to superstardom.Almost every boy grows up playing cricket.The extreme behaviour pattern of people in these countries also contributes to the craze.

Sunny's answer is pretty funny.. I think cricket needs some brains but football needs only strength just like rugby.. Those people who love cricket are very loyal to that game because it is simply amazing. It's still being introduced to other parts of the world.. Cricket is the best game ever.. World is now slowly moving into cricket.. No wonder why.

Cricket - Involves more skills, strategy, stamina...\n\nYou can easily enjoy Cricket without your team winning...Its just the beauty of the sport..\nunlike football..where to love a team you have to hate the others...or the concept of 'hooliganism' or for that matter the very nature of football being a rough game involving body charges,rough tackles lots of warning cards....etc etc...\n\nCricket is a soothing game

Fast bowlers because there tends to be more of them in a team and more playing around the world.\n\nHowever, if a spinner is good enough then they tend to be picked anyway i.e Muralitharan or Warne.\n\nIts all down to skill and ability as well as how many people are coming through the ranks for different countries that bowl either spin, swing or fast.

Well, it depends on what excites you. \n\nCricket will be more of a run feast than Baseball given that it is easier to strike the ball in cricket than in baseball, both due to larger bat size, and the fact that the ball on an average will come slower in the case of cricket.\n\nHowever to compensate for these factors, the ball is almost always pitched in cricket, offering the bowler an opportuinty to release innumerable variations to baffle the batsman unlike in baseball. \n\nBoth games involve catching the line of the ball very early. However from the aspects outlined above, we see that the challenge in cricket is to be watchful till the last moment for any 'deviation'; in baseball, reflexes matter more for the striker.\n\nSo depending on what excites you, you'll find one of them better. I personally prefer cricket, though a lot of it has to do with cricket being a part of my life from a young age!

cricket\nin progress. The beige strip is the cricket pitch. The people wearing black trousers on the far right are the umpires.]] Cricket is a team game played between two teams of eleven players each. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular participatory and spectator sport. Cricket is a major sport in places such as England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking Caribbean. The length of the game (a game can last over six or more hours a day for up to five days), numerous intervals for lunch and tea and rich terminology help confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between the top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment that has occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage. \nObjective and summary\nCricket is a bat and ball sport. The objective of the game is to score more runs (points) than the opposing team. A match is divided into innings. During an innings, one team bats while the other team bowls and fields. (Note: when referring to "a team's innings," one usually means that team's turn to bat.) Games may be played over one or two innings. For some one innings matches each team's innings may be restricted to a set number of fair deliveries to be bowled by the opposing team. The team batting first aims to set a target score for the opposition and the team batting second chases the target. The bowling team tries to limit the runs scored by the batting team and at the same time to get the opposition players out, an event which is described as 'taking a wicket'. Each player continues to bat until he is out; once he is out, he may not bat again in that innings. The team batting always has two batsmen on the field; once ten of the eleven players of the batting team have been dismissed (i.e. ten wickets have been taken) the innings comes to an end. The winner is the team which has scored the most runs. If the team batting last loses, they are said to have lost the match by m run(s), where m is the difference in scores between the teams. If the team batting last wins they are said to have won the match by n wickets, where n is the number of additional wicket(s) the opposing team needed to take to bring the innings to an end. If both teams score the same number of runs, and the team batting last has completed its last innings, the match is a tie. If the match cannot be completed before the allotted time for the match expires, the result is a draw. If the match has only single innings per side, with a set number of deliveries, and the match is abandoned without completion due to an impossibility of continuing the play, because of bad weather, unruly crowd or any such unlikely event or situation, the result is declared as No-Result.

Teams may agree to alter some of the rules for particular games. Other rules supplement the main laws and change them to deal with particular circumstances. In particular, there are a number of modifications to the playing structure and fielding position rules that apply to one innings games that are restricted to a set number of fair deliveries. \nPlayers and officials\nMain articles: Cricketer, Umpire Each team consists of eleven players. Depending on his primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A balanced team usually has five or six specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers. A player who excels in both fields is known as an all-rounder. One player of the team that is currently bowling takes up the role of a

They play too much cricket when compared to other teams in the world. One more main issue is that cricket is not just a game in India, its a religion. People see players as their role models, so if the cricketers fail they face severe criticism. That's the reason they are under lot of pressure.
