- Cricket has a story to match the tastes of various types of generation: Test matches serve the older generation, one day internationals are enjoyed by the last generation and T20Is are applauded by the latest generation.
- No doubt the host country relishes the Cricket pitch. I have never heard Barcelona winning at home country or my recent forefathers witnessed a Briton winning at Wimbledon. Bizarre!
- The commentary work is done by great players like Evra, Cleverly, Nana, Rooney, Rafael, Back to Rooney, Chicharito and many more. They include songs, jokes, poem, personal experience, ironic leg-pulling of commentators from the rival’s nation.
- This particular game has the highest number of rules—42. Amazingly, each law looks more than a football course book. Hence cricket has a trend to turn into anticlimax even if one thinks that he is the master of the game.
- There is a fielding position known as ‘Third Man’ in cricket. Of course it remains unchanged even when women play the game. Incredible!
- This is the game where umpires can openly deceive or take an incorrect decision. Ultimately they escape without being physically assaulted by the players. Mohammad Irfan hitting Aleem Dar and Andre Nel breaking the head of Simon Taufel—these actions can only be imaginary.
- Some of the sports are in the ancient stage of cricket till date. They are Golf, Baseball, Lawn Tennis, Badminton. These sports hits straight forward while cricket hits the ball in all directions. It is unbelievably different!
- It is possible in India that the stands are empty during India-Australia match on Sunday. Now let us draw our attention to the match between Barcelona and Manchester United with empty seats in the stadium on a working day. Can you imagine?
- Well, any type of ball can be used to play cricket. It can be rubber, plastic, cork, tennis ball, leather, crushing a piece of paper, rolling up of a piece of cloth. Just anything! In case of other sports, tennis and even basketball has a particular type of ball. It is impossible to play volleyball with a hockey ball. But cricket is a matchless game. It can be played with a golf ball! The most exciting part of cricket is that it needs a book. This book has page numbers printed at the top-right corner.
- And at last but not the least—Sachin Tendulkar is a cricket champion.
It cannot be ignored that cricket is enjoyed by all. The popularity of this game can be seen in the crowd at the pavilion wherever it is played. But the loop-holes in the game actually make it a hilarious sport.
