There is a third kind of woman who follows cricket - the plain and simple fan. Last IPL, I took my aged mother to Kotla. She can hardly walk...the live cricket experience brought back to her her younger days when she would attend cricket matches live with her father and relatives at Madras. I think in India, like inEngland or Australia or other countries, there is also space for another kind of cricketing woman. Cheers! :) Kartikeya, I must recommend , You Must Like Cricket

Women’s preferences are being dictated by advertisement in every sphere, including cricket.”</em> Yes, women may swoon over men from any profession who are handsome, rugged, smart and suited to their desires. Healthy. However, ads are doing the deciding for them. So hockey (and any poor profession) with less money is left out. Hello Wd,

I dislike the sport as I feel it is a waste of time. You are right, that most women appreciate cricketers for reasons other than their cricketing skills. But doesn't it apply to actors, musicians, singers and so forth as well? I have mixed feelings about cricket.
