damn, i just logged in to comment on this thread.

i started watching cricket during 90s. i watched the world cup when sri lanka won in 96 ..(indian fans during the semi final lol..what the ffk?)

 ...after the world cup i would always keep interest whenever big teams like west indies, india, Aus and SA would play cricket series which was shown by star sports. nowdays, i dont even know which players are still left.

yes test cricket = real cricket

for my generation
best batsmen = sachin, jayasuriya, lara, knight, smith, campbell
best bowler = akram, mcgrath, younis, donald
best fielder = rhodes

let the world cup begine this february and my interest will start again
