Do you enjoy watching cricket as much as the day you joined CW?

This forum I think is very inactive if you compare it with Pakpassion.

Quality not quantity mate.

There are some quality members on PP as well such as Junaids,Yossarian,Markhor,HitWicket(To whom for some reason I believe to be Nasser Hussain) but true the amount of trolls there are also unmatchable

Nope. Last weekend there was live cricket on three different channels and I didn't want to watch any of it, including a Test Match.

I haven't been here long but when I first began this cricket obsession it was solely test cricket and England v ___ - with a particular emphasis on the 'Ashes'. That I believe is fairly typical of most English cricket fans: it begins and (virtually) ends with The Ashes. Now I probably prefer county cricket - well I certainly like test cricket and county cricket about equal but would be more inclined to follow a county side these days - and also enjoy watching tests between two nations other than England (case in point, the recent Border-Gavaskar). I'm probably looking forward to England v South Africa just about as much as the next Ashes. I suppose I'm not as big an England fan as I used to be, and have replaced watching cricket on the basis of ''I hope my team win'', with the simple aesthetics and joy of watching cricket. Probably prefer one-dayers more than I used to at the beginning, although more at a county 'seeing it in person' level rather than watching 'England on the box'. I've warmed to Twenty20 a tiny bit, but there are times when I just think it is a load of bollocks and leave the ground a bit jaded or turn the off switch.

Definite no for me. I'm nowhere near as into the game as I was from 1996-2009 (SL WC win to Murali retirement).

Can appreciate a game here and there but the spark is definitely gone.

Does having your website make Cricket feel like a chore for you at all? I would assume it would be more fun to work out your formulas and ratings based on past performances more so than having your formula used on the present.

I actually can't wait for the Champions Trophy tbh, always great having most of the teams in the one country at the same time.

Frankly I don't think I've been here long enough to tell.

I thought Test cricket was boring so a friend introduced me to an ODI in 1999 SA v WI. Was hooked, with all the 4s and 6s. Now I can watch someone scoring 1 off 50 balls and not be bored. I was a SA fan before England one. Later that year Fletcher took over and his 8 years in change ended at the same time I joined the forum. Moores introduced Broad and Anderson. It was 140 wickets before I joined and 1225 wickets since.

As for watching I am a fan of fast bowling and waiting to see the most exciting combination of Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood and Pattinson bowling together. Probably ODIs as I can't see 4 fast bowlers in Tests.
