Cricket is popular in India, because it does not take much to play cricket. Even a guy with a big belly and completely overweight can play the game. He can be a batsman and can be a slip fielder. It can be played by lazy people. To play soccer or hockey you need to be in shape. By living on a vegeterian diet it is difficult to compete in games that are demanding. Hence cricket has turned out to be the best for India. Other countries pay more attention to soccer and such and don’t bother much about cricket. This has given India an advantage. When West Indies were good India could hardly beat them. Now that the West Indies are concentrating more on Soccer, Basketball and such we are able to defeat the. It hte west Indies start churning out their world class pace bowlers again India will have to run to Kabaddi.

Being quite disturbed by recent media coverage (artificial craze generation for their own benefit) of this game, I have re-discovered cricket as a game played by species like cats and goats (who need day long exercises to digest their non-veg food), and watched by cattle and goats lying around (who got too little to work throughout the day). :p

nicely and descriptly explained about the Indian situation – that why this game is popular. Commercial section is the one I liked but India should not give priviledge to this game players alone.

I was talking on skype to my friend in Chandigarh who had sent me a link to a video he had made of the post match WC final celebrations there . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Uj4ZPdw0c and i asked him “Why is Cricket so popular in India? He could not really answer it, so I googled it and found your excellent explanation.

Great post – thanks.
