#1 There is big Bollywood money and their publicity machine behind this.

I stayed up the last couple of nights to watch the games. As a sporting contest they left a lot to be desired. IMO they will need to change to a rotating short innings format like Baseball, but it was interesting to watch the big international stars play.

#2 Cricket? I'd rather watch grass grow.

#3 That is slightly more entertaining that cricket, Shinegum. (May I call you Shinegum, us being fellow Ranters and all?)

You're also likely to see some action much sooner with the grass....
