Talk about euphoria for the game; Think of passion for sport; Consider the intensity it offers; Check the seriousness it brings; Don't you think it is bigger than a game!!! Is it not a religion!?!?!

Definitly cricket is more than a religion. When a cricket event is taking place , People unite from all corners of the world to see the team play. It brings oneness to the whole country.
