Cricket was God's gift to intelligent men. And Britain's to its colonies. The ones that took the game up certainly took it to heart and play like they own it, much like football, except as it has been mentioned before in this thread, it requires one to learn the game first before s/he starts to reap the riches that it sows.
Once you're hooked, it stays in your blood, and you miss the sound of leather-on-willow and lazy afternoons of beer-infused Third Umpire-bashing.
Also, everyone hates the Aussies and Pakis.

(PS: I'm Indian, hence I'm allowed to use the term "Pakis," while also perfectly displaying my outright hate for them on the cricket pitch. Otherwise they're cool though. Love Pakis, me. Except Afridi, that w***** of w*****s.)
Great result for the English and anyone-but-Pakistan fans, amazing stuff from our own Harmy as well. Keep up the good work, looks like the horrors of the sub-continental trip may be exorcised.
