Why so much CRAZE on CRICKET?

cricket rules are very simple and everyone can understand the game very easily and also there is lot of money in this game.cricket is coming playing from many years in India from the time of English rule thats rich people love to watch and invest on cricket like in IPL.

I think its easy to understand may be they are educated or not but some games are noy easy to understand.children can easly understand this, i am also crazy about even i am girl and i never put the bat but i like this game so much.

actually i am a big cricket fan.. i am from sri lanka and it is not a surprise a sri lankan to be cricket fan.. however i know india has biggest criket fans.. not considering the number of fans.. but the craziness to this sport.. if i talk about me i grew up loving cricket and for a sport most of the times i played criket with my friends.. and also the cricket world cup win in 1996 by sri lankan team made us love the sport more than ever..

For years together we have been following this game as people have fallen for it. Previously cricket was played in as "ghilli dandha" as they call in north india. So when an new version of it came many people started playing it. Now its very popular and people are not willing to accept other forms of game as they do for cricket. In fact games such as hockey football and all should be given equal importance.
