Ever wondered how much cricket are we exposed to in a year. I tried to find the stats, through ESPN statsguru.
In 2010, India played around 14 tests, 27 one day and 7 T20 matches . Considering each test matches of 5 days, these are equal to
14 *5 =70 days
(27 +7 )* 1 = 34 days
This makes a total of 104 days. Now IPL was of 44 days. This makes it total of 148 days. This makes 40% of the days in a year. Now some people in India are just mad about cricket. They follow match day in and day out even if they are very late in to night. Apart from that leave other forms of cricket played at local level.
And believe me this year the count would be even higher, given the world cup and 51 days of IPL (again).
Also found this nice video. Its title is Kricket se aapko kya mila.
Seriously I don't understand what people are getting watching this much cricket. If you know, please lets us know by the comment section.
