If you hate football as much as I do then there is nothing I hate more. Well maybe with the exception of violence or American football. Oh actually, there are cricket and golf which are more boring but they're not forced on people. I wanted to take my mum out for a drink cos she helped me clean the house but everywhere has one of those big screen things. It wasn't even England playing! I don't know when it ends but it not soon enough. I don't mind other people watching it in their own hime but I don't see why I should sacrifice my own enjoyment for people spending more time in what should be a quiet rural pub.\nOh and you up there saying "actually it's soccer" I don't even like the thing but I'm having to explain that it is football in it's most primative form. Soccer means association football, then you have rugby football, then you have rugby football with padding(commonly known as American football)\nAnd whoever said "most" people like it, how can you be sure of that? I'd be very surprised if more people want all this waste of space.

Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players on each side. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch.\n\nA player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized leather ball from one set of wooden stumps, called a wicket, towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Another batsman (the partner of the defending player) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with his partner. This scores a run. While the batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball, that is thrown by a fielder strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out, or "dismissed." Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat (innings) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. The innings may also be restricted to a certain number of balls. This is determined before the match, as is whether each team has one or two innings. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try to achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

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.

It depends on whether one is a true cricket fan for its classic characteristics that no other sports offer. Not if you'd rather watch or play a fast-paced sport.

We cannot compare football with cricket both are different games, as so many cricket players not intrested in  playing too much cricket, it is better to reduce the no.of matches. Personally i believe it will helps international cricket or else people will not respond very much for every match.

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. See also: Result \nLaws of cricket\nMain article: Laws of cricket The game is played in accordance with 42 laws of cricket, which have been developed by the Marylebone Cricket Club in discussion with the main cricketing nations. 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
