1. I think you have already answered the question in most humble and simple way.
   Cricket is a great leveller. But Indians do have work to do but everybody has to find time for recreation. The craze of soccer in Europe and Latin America is huge. Stands are always occupied. If you go by the % of population, Eurpeans do devote a lot more time in re-creation.
2. Soccer ends in 2-3 hrs where u require instint of brain while playing.But cricket is so complex u need talent,patience,ability to handle pressure as u hav time in the game for recovery,& instint sometimes.
   
3. I agree with you my friend. A lot of people from other countries think that Indians don't have anything to do and that's why they time watch a lengthy game like cricket. I think football is very boring because when you watch football goals are the only thing that creates some sort of interest and even those are very few and far in between. But when you watch cricket every ball anything can happen. There is always that uncertainty involved in cricket which makes the game more interesting.What I like about cricket is its unpredictable nature. On a given day, even an average team like Bangladesh can beat Australia which they have in the past and this is what makes it a treat to watch.
4. They are absolutely correct and not only in India but also the other country who are involve with cricket they have many times to waste. In the London the 'mucca' of cricket get very few viewers to watch cricket.
5. disqualities:
   1. tourism of one team with another team. why there are only two teams playing, other teams are resting?
   2. duration of match is five days (or) 1 day. how longest time it is? lot of time is wasting.
   changes of cricket to popularize in my view:
   1. no tourism of two teams. only world cup for four years. with that indian cup, australia cup, west indies cup, england cup, south african cup...etc will have to be conducted with six months gap upto world cup.
   2. no test matches.
   3. no one day matches.
   4. only 20-20 matches.
   5. every nation must have only one colour of dress without any colour mixing.
6. all those ppl who say so r sick!! as a mtter of fact...the stadiums in england n australia r fully crowded in very test match...even more than india n pakistan...so now do v have 2 say tha...evn the englishmen have nothing else 2 do? Cricket is actually the bestest game on the planet!! its has alot of sense n grace in it!! its unlike many fussy games..which r soo popular for unknown reasons!! patince, mind games, tactics,strategies,leadership.... these qualities r best staged on the ccricket ground...than any other game!!
7. in india people love there players and so love there team..!!
8. In my words cricket also teaches a lot to us about life ,only lovers & followers of cricket can understand this feeling.I think even test cricket is as interesting but u need the write eyes watching them .WATS U'R SAY ?
9. I liked your Question & Answer.Even I like cricket.
   Last month I was in USA .There people watch/talk American football for whole day. Many people dont go to work following day.
10. Up to some extant they are right but one has to ignore those kind of statements because if you think you enjoy it you are RIGHT.
11. u'll find diff people in this game som of them hav liittle talent but become heros due to there patience just as rahul &u'll also find people like sehwag whho hav the required talent but may not use it due to lack of patience.
    
12. exactly like you I also think!!
    cricket is a superb game!
    I love it!
13. Cricket used to like god in India. The things are changing. There has been too much of it in the recent past and rather overdose of it. We love anything which is scarce, the more the demand when supply is less. when supply is more, the demand takes a second place and starts loosing its charm. thats what is happening to cricket.
    the game has all ingreidents to pull one and all to it, but more sugar leads to diabetes and spoiling the taste. hence it should be right dose. we love cricket but let there be no overdose of it.
