The India vs. West Indies cricket match is going on right now and I know this because every few minutes the crowd in the cafeteria down the hall erupts into applauses and cheers. I just looked around the floor and it’s pretty empty. Half of the office must be in the cafeteria watching the match on TV.
Cricket is THE sport in India. No other sport matters nearly as much, despite how good a particular team or individual athlete might be.
I will not claim to be an expert, but I’m finally starting to learn the rules of cricket. Watching the sport on television has become so much more interesting, because I actually understand what’s going on. And now I can read the sports page (75% of which is about cricket) with some interest.
