Sri Lankas, Indians and Pakistanis play cricket every Sunday at the English School in Nicosia. Normally they have quite a few spectators and they make quite a racket. Interesting to watch. I think cricket is a fascinating game.

I love the game in all it's formats. I managed the local under 16s team when living in Sydney in the 80s. I got to meet a few of the international players as I used to design and make their cricket coffins. Cricket is the 'chess' of sports, that is if you know and understand the game very well.

Kafenes,I'm a fan of both One Day cricket & Twenty20 cricket,but I do find Test cricket a bit boring though.New Zealand's cricketers has been playing a series against the Bangladeshi cricketers recently.Bangladesh got absolutely thumped in the process.There's a series against the English cricket squad coming up over here in New Zealand very soon.

A few years ago,there was a game called Cricket Max,but,unfortunately,it is no longer played,as it never really took off.

Here's an article about Cricket Max; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_Max .
