It wasn't until I went to India and saw people absolutely obsessed with the game that I really started to take an interest. And once I finally saw all these kids play it hardcore, all the rules started to make a lot more sense. It is weird seeing kids play cricket instead of any of the other usual sports

And I can't forget the Indian oscar nominated movie Lagan which made Cricket seem like the best sport ever created (well, besides hockey anyway )

I really enjoy the Twenty20 format, as it is a lot quicker and I think the key to becoming more mainstream.
