Which International Team Do You Support?

[andruid]

Kenya firstly and any team that actually looks competitive or even beats Australia

 

[Jono]

India.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

My list (associates in brackets so those who pretend they don't exist can ignore them:

1. England
(Norway)


(Nederland)
2. West Indies
(Scotland)
(Ireland)
(Namibia)
(Kenya)
3. Bangladesh

Yes, I know supporting Namibia but not South Africa is strange. Namibia don't have Graeme Smith though.

Have a guess. No second favourites, I hate everyone else equally. Crush, kill, destroy!

^What a pleasant person you are...

Only half-kidding.

Wasn't born in SA, but became interested in cricket when they played England, and I soon moved back there anyway.. Although I don't like seeing England lose, I don't really believe in supporting more than one team, picking and chosing when to take sides depending on who is playing.. Although it would be funny to one day see Namibia beat SA

Perhaps a parallel poll of : which side has your ire could have more cricketing reasoning behind the choices. This one, expectedly, going along tribal lines.

Its not a competition, rather just to see the demographics and proportion of the CW population that support the different teams.

1964? Not bad. Think the oldest England fans on here started following around about 1971 (the two Davids).

That would be me, or at least one of them would. Who's the other one?

Lucky Eddie pre-dates me, although we haven't seen much of him lately.

I recently found-out stumpski, who I'd always thought so similar to you in terms of historical knowledge (as well as age) and exceedingly friendly manner, also shares your name. Quite a nice coincidence, really.

Always forget him these days. The poor fellow is not well again currently, I regret to say. When he is, I'm sure he'll return to these shores.

Certainly not a competition, but not enough interesting discussions coming through either.
For eg if I was an alien dropped from outer space, certainly would think about the NZ team for having made so much out of limited resources. But I'm not, I was born in India. And almost for that reason alone end up in that column.

So even, which team besides your own nationality/origin do you support - will yield more interesting chatter. (there is a lot of value to demographic profiling too, dont get me wrong). My suggestion was another poll in addition to this one.

Makes sense - I'd figured we must be similar vintage.

Really sorry to hear about that.

 

[Protean]

South Africa, then any other African team, which so far has only been Zim for me but I'd support Kenya too

 

[Storer]

Australia for me.

 

[roseboy64]

WI unfortunately. Wasn't interested in cricket before the slide happened. Only got into it post-2000.

 

[morgieb]

It's gotta be Australia, then any team playing India

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

England, as much as others would like to think I'm Bangladesh.

 

[Manee]

India and then Australia. Some brain deficiency or something in me always wants Australia to prevail, because they are the best team and them winning is 'how it should be'. I'm not proud of such an ethos, but it is not something which I consciously control. However, when India play Australia, the alligance is with India. I support India above all!

Another one to add to the "ridiculously odd Naughtys" collection.

England, as much as others would like to think I'm Bangladesh.

Like to?
