1001 Things You Love about Cricket

100. Lancashire CCC Arguebly one of the best counties who have two England greats, I don't know how they can't win a trophy.
 
We can keep going...
102
The IPL - I don't care what people say. It's a fantastic platform for cricket, where players from all over the world come together to form dream teams and battle each other for glory. Who else would've imagined a Sachin-Jayasuriya opening Partnership in the 90s, or a battle between Warne and Sachin to relive after one has retired. It's fantastic.
 
103

When tailenders make runs - is there anything more satisfyingly funny?

Yes, for me.

104 - missed run outs, genuine easy ones, like King Tuffnell himself, and then the struggle to make up for the error.
 
105- Village cricketers. Let me explain. I'm talking about the 1st or 2nd Xi players, the larger framed one's in their late 30's and 40's. They gob off all fielding innings and then are dismissed for a low score. It's brilliant. The banter is pretty good aswell with Village cricketers.
 
106 - Left handed batsman

They are all so graceful, so elegant. Even when they are slogging it just looks so good. Like Ganguly, Yuvraj, Lara - all are batsman who are a joy to watch.

Yuvraj annoys me most of the time though, but sometimes I have a sense of amazement around him...
 
109 - Shantkumaran Sreesanth

Funny guy.
 
110 - Wicketkeepers. Cause we can't be bothered to run after the ball every time the batsman misses it.
 
111. Playing conditions. That is, the pitch, weather, etc. Don't think there's any other sport where the playing conditions affect the outcome as much.
 
113.Gentlemen like Dravid,Gilly,Sachin,Sangakkara and recently Dhoni.Sorry If I missed anyone.
 
If sanga is a gentleman then sure ganguly is.
