Completed.

The section about why do we want to watch cricket in the stadium is repeated.

The questions that assumed 'excitement' as the measurement for success I found odd. Most of the time the cricket season is intriguing rather than exciting, which I find just as valuable. So I just subbed in 'interest' most of time while answering.

I liked the question about 'I want a distraction from everyday life.'

Don't we all. Don't we all.
