Leaving all the ongoing controversies aside, cricket is still my BEST GAME! I have been a big fan of the Indian teem since my early years(since I was 8)! Although I am in the States where they dont show cricket games on TV, my bookmarks are filled with cricket-related sites where I can find upto the minute news. The game is very respectful and requires good judgement. I have watched this game once at the Wankhade Stadium(1996 World Cup; Ind. Vs. Aus.) and it was really an experience of life time to see the cricketers in real figure. My favorite player(though arguable) is and WILL BE Mohammed Azharudding!
