I am also from Pakistan but don't like cricket for multiple reasons. I have seen enough friendships break over cricket online/offline both. Not interested to talk about any sports where people r too extremist and break bonds over teams they support or fights when playing over their turns or a catch drop etc...... it's more about people's tolerance level then just cricket.

While in some other supports, over tolerance level is better. Still, most of countries budget is focused on one sports.
