I have observed that cricket is a Christian game. Actually I saw in espncricinfo site that wicket keeper is marked as a cross in the scorecard. Well you may wonder how it is so. Simple. It is the wickets. If we think that the wickets are the cross (holy cross of Christianity), than, the batsmen are protecting the wickets. They may 'fall' in the process (when they get out). The wicket keeper acts keeping the batsman in mind. If batsman steps out of the 'crease', he can stump him. So it is in the batsmen interest to stay as close to the cross i.e. the wicket as possible. The ball is a device to get the cross 'off' , either through clean bowling or run out.
The ball belongs to the team who wants to get the "cross" uprooted. The area outside the boundary does not belong to the team opposing the "cross" or the wicket. Outside the boundary the area is the 'great beyond' and the ball can be sent there for four or six. Thus, in limited area in the crease the 'defenders of the cross' aka the wicket work towards improving 'their teams' score. If the batsman is unable to send the 'device' i.e the ball beyond the 'beyond' and it lands on the palms of the other team member it is out as the connection was made to the 'enemy' i.e. the other team player.
It is not that complex. Think logically and you can find it. Mass media also glorifies this game to make the public as slaves to the cross. The growth of English language has a direct relation to it. This is simple propagation of Christianity without any controversies attached to it through the use of 'preachers' or "the missionaries".
Now popularity of cricket in India. Indians feel they can take the game of cricket and be defenders of the faith of Christianity. It is is sub consciously of course. The pariah status of Pakistan is also to be noted. Indians feel they can keep Pakistanis out of the game of cricket and IPL and thus perpetuate the conflict between Muslims and Christians. As Cricket is a Christian game and by keeping the Islamic nation of Pakistan out, Hindu India can become close to Christian nations who are the true founders of Cricket.
It is laughable because Hinduism is a religion which is against Christianity and Islam and Judaism equally. Islam and Christianity are 'Abrahamic' religions.

Today watched one more movie which is "The Conjuring". It was pretty scary movie according to me. Worth watching.
