"I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that God ever created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isn't too bad either." - Harold Pinter

So now you have it…straight from a Nobel Laureate !....His thoughts on Cricket … One of the greatest sports of modern times.

Cricket is a religion…especially in South Asia, and the West Indies. There are always two schools of thought on cricket …as is true with many other things . Either you like Cricket….then you simply LOVE It….or you detest it.

This is what The great Shaw had to say on this gentlemen's game :

"Baseball has the great advantage over cricket of being sooner ended. " George Bernard Shaw

But there are no two ways about the fact, that Cricket is, a significant crowd puller. In countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia, New Zealand South Africa and West Indies.

The game has evolved over the years….and for the benefit of those like GB Shaw, who cant wait for five days or even a full day ….there is a much shorter version…..Twenty Twenty or T 20….that gets over in about three hours !

No other game talks so much on PITCH conditions….and that is a funny thing….as some of the greatest players of recent era….are seen….bent on a 22 yard patch…..and talking like Prophets….on how the pitch would behave !!!

Our take on this is:

It's a great game….but please leave the nitty gritties of analysis to other professions….please play for sporting fun…. !!! …and please….have a standard ground size too
