    I am banning the sport cricket in India…I don’t know what’s wrong with this sub continent but most of the males are addicted to this colonial game of UK🇬🇧 and which requires you to spend 5+ hrs each game.

      The first time I heard of cricket was as a child when reading Douglas Adam’s H2G2. It seemed so ridiculous I immediately assumed it was a fictive sport invented by the author. How wrong I was.

      Also it’s not just India, it’s in a lot of places they managed to get their grubby colonialist mitts on

        We dodged that one in Ireland and hold in contempt anyone who plays it. Somehow rugby made the cut.

        But our Indian sub continent got the most addiction. Our corrupt cricket board get billions of USD from government , scams, advertisers. Most people are just glued to this sport for hundreds of hrs for no reason whatsoever. I will make a rule, any person watching even 1 minute of this match will get 100 lashes from the state. I know it’s Saudi Arabia style but that’s how you can remove the addiction.
