Everytime on Friday morning when I walked to Lulu, a big Indian supermarket in Riyadh, I passed an excited group of Indians or Pakistanis playing cricket. I even was spurred to search a little online and was shocked to discover many sites list it as the second most popular world sport, with 2.5 billion devoted fans. Number one sport has 4 billion, of course, football—ha ha ha soccer for us Americans, but football for the rest of the world.
