I wanted to hate it, but have quite enjoyed the games tbh
It's a game of cricket and as such has the ability to thrill. Everything else around it is superfluous. From the bands, to the "every ball counts" slogan, from the arch the players walk through to the awful sycophantic and downright dishonest commentary.I've enjoyed the games because I enjoy Cricket but I'm a Brummie and have a dog in the fight, if I was a Pear perhaps I wouldn't so much.
