Colin,

I can only speak for the game, not for the spectators !.  It is a lovely
sport, although highly commercialized now.  I haven't gone to a match   
for more than 20 years and did not watch it even on TV for about 15 years,
until about 5 years ago, they started telecasting on pay-per-view channel
here in the US.  To my dismay, I saw players wearing bright colorful 
clothes.  I still prefer the off-white cricket clothes.

BTW, cricket is nice to watch on TV too, where I hope they don't show 
fans urinating !.
