I know we have fans from all over the world on here and there is the Cricket World Cup going on right now. Anybody else interested in the game?

I am from Indian and hence grew up playing the game, but I know Canada in in this years world cup!

I've spent some time in South Africa over the years, and have been forced to watch some cricket on TV when rugby isn't on. It's a terribly slow game, but I admit I know none of the intricacies. I love the game of baseball, and the more leisurely pace of the game. I'd probably enjoy cricket more if I understood it better.

I love cricket and am an avid fan of Lancashire County Cricket Club.

I will be watching some of the World Cup games, although I prefer the longer formats of the game ...... 4 day County Championship games and 5 Day Test matches.

Obviously I'll be supporting England featuring that great Lancastrian bowler Jimmy Anderson, but I hope the other Lancashire players such as Faf Du Plessis (South Africa) do well.

Jimmy Anderson is a good bowler, but I don't think he will be able to do much on the sub continent pitches that don't help swing! I am obviously supporting India and got the pay-per-view package from Dish Network.

Call me crazy but I am up at 3:00 AM to watch India play! :happy0005:

I have watched it but don't understand it. I do watch Rugby when it's on.

I am a cricket fan

Loved cricket since a young age. I represented my school and my local team in Liverpool in my teen years. I was even captain for both sides. I tried playing a few years ago, but I'm not as good as I once was

Saw Lancashire play a couple of times, never seen England play though. I'd like to, I'm sure I will one day

No, in all honesty, I loved playing a game similar to cricket when I was kid, called "Tacobol"

, but I can't stand watching it, the same way I don't like baseball. But to each their own.

I like cricket as much as I like baseball. But its not my first choice usually.
