It always was, just it seems like there's an extra 10,000 people doing it.
Used to love cricket, especially in the 80's and 90's, the great West Indian teams, the brilliant Pakistanis. Australia's rise from be shit house to virtually unbeatable. Loved AB's grit with a side of plodders around him. I liked the way over a summer you really got to know the opposition, it was truly a proper tour back then.
Dunno, just have lost my interest quite a bit and struggle to really get behind the Australian team. Last night whilst watching at home, I was really enjoying the English bowling. I'd almost say barracking for it. Had mates that played at state level and some of the stories they told me about the Australian Cricket team and Cricketers in general left me under no illusion that Cricketers are some of the worst people on the planet. Make Rugby League meatheads look like Choir Boys.
