Cricket is an Indian Sport

From all evidence Cricket has become an entrenched Indian sport. However, as the recent reaction to Wisden's five in the Indian media shows, the understanding of this Indian Sport has been widely off the mark especially among the new followers.Like the English language, another popular legacy of colonial heritage that we are proud of,Cricket is enriched by our culture and enriches it.
To deny that Wisden then and now has any relevance is like having an Eng.Lit. course without Shakespeare or Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.
