My parents are sitting before the T.V. and watching the India versus West Indies match. Father has the timetable of all the matches scheduled for the World Cup and lists the positions of teams in their respective pools after each game. I find this amusing. I know that he isn't alone in doing this. Thousands of cricket-crazy fans do this every day.

All this and everything else in the name of cricket. Seriously, does cricket deserve all this hullabaloo?
