I of course was awake when this was posted and checked what time the game started. When I saw it was 4am et I thought oh well I am not going to be live betting that and then I learned today that these matches are a full day affair.

I once went to a 6 hour baseball game and as much as I love baseball it was excruciating near the end of it. I don't know how people watch an 8 hour game.

New Zealand and South Africa same time tomorrow.

Rugby right? Sorry for intruding

reply

This is cricket, but there's also a rugby market on Predyx that we're paying attention to.

Ah ok Ruby. Cause I was going to ask, if this was rugby, who the hell you would choose to watch. Those are 2 MAJOR national teams. Would be a hard choice.

reply

Yes, same time tomorrow.

On my television it's showing that 66.8 crore (660.8 million) people are watching at the moment. Can you believe it? Cricket is the most watched sports by far.

One dayers run for 7-8 hours.

reply

Wow. That's a lot of people.

reply

And this is just for one country. Now include Australia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and many other nations watching on other streaming service or channel. And also include millions of Indians living abroad. All of India's matches are watched by at least a billion people.

Is cricket big in Dubai?

reply

Yes, very big. Most of the people living in Dubai are from subcontinent and it has long been a neutral venue for Pakistan because no nation wanted to play inside Pakistan because of terror threats.
