Introduction - My take on Cricket

Cricket is a sport that has been in existence for decades. Invented by the British and delivered to Asia via colonisation, what originally began as the "Gentlemen's Game" has long since evolved into a spectacle that transcends mere sporting culture. It has seen individuals elevated to the status of living gods, who literally command the adulation of billions; it has also seen whole nations sink to their knees in utter despair. Yes, cricket is no mere sport, but rather, a way of life, a religion if you will, and this is essentially what makes it such an interesting, riveting and lucrative prospect.With its growing popularity, cricket is fast becoming a very recognisable sporting term the world-over.
