Bob, Just admit it. Your point is way too lame in arguing why we shouldnt be playing and watching cricket. Just because people all over the world are turning into so called "popular american sports" doesnt mean we have to too! For gods sake.. ones preference of a sport has NOTHING to do with how popular and trendy it is. It is frustrating that the american sports channel never telecast any cricket matches and stuff.. but even that factor doesnt overshadow cricket loving people living in america. thank god for live internet streamings. why is it so hard for you to understand that its about the 'love of a game".. do you get what we all are trying to tell you? "love for/of a game" irrrespective of its trendy-ness and jpt that you discuss.
