It's impossible to work during cricket matches. I always have Cricinfo and Sify open to make sure I don't miss a single ball. Living in Sachin's era and seeing him play in his prime is an inexpressible, overwhelming feeling.

To me in Cricket, each moment is important. I follow it on Mobile SMS when I am on the move but that is costly and a relatively poor experience. On internet I get ball by ball commentary and latest scorecard; nowadays interactive scorecard like one offered by Sify.com is a good experience and is as good as sitting in front of the TV.

I just don't want to miss a single action around cricket for me newspapers are for articles by experts. TV for live matches and internet for articles, blogs, analysis, sharing and live score updates on the move.

Though I watch all the matches live for extra information internet is the best and only option.

The only way to stay updated on cricket score is by staying connected with the internet. I log on to two to three websites that offer live cricket scores, so that I don't miss out any cricketing action. My usage of Alt + Tab on my keyboard is more during these times! Refreshing the web page to get the live scores is sometimes annoying. It is good to have a scorecard during live matches, like on Sify.com, with commentary running parallel to the score. It was really cool using it during the recent India - South Africa series!

Being employees, internet is the best place for me to follow all the cricketing action; I get ball by ball updates. It is an interactive platform where we also share comments with fellow followers on the site.
I prefer following the details of Cricket on internet for the amount of information available and I get to choose from multiple sources too.

Am eagerly awaiting the world cup, especially because it's going to be Sachin's last one and am sure not going to miss a minute win India plays. On the days when India plays, am going to log on to live updates from portals like Cricinfo and Yahoo through out and tweet about the same as well. During the lunch hours in office, I'll look forward to watching TV during the day matches as well. But on the days when India's not playing, am not going to be that regular unless I hear word of any special development like the way Gibbs blasted 6 sixes in an over in the last to last world cup.

Celebrity Quotes
My favourite player is M.S. Dhoni and I'm rooting for him. He is a great player who has proved his mettle with every passing year.
My favourite moment is yet to come and would probably come true this year with India coming in the finals and winning it too!
I don't think the party or the celebration can last for just a single day…it would be at least for a week.\
Shriya Saran, Actor
I love Adam Gilchrist and Jonty Rhodes. In India it's Sachin.
I have never been a fan of cricket but off late I have started following cricket. I really hope history repeats itself and India wins the World Cup again!

The whole world idolises Tendulkar, but for me it has to Suresh Raina. He's young, Upcoming and has already made a great mark in Indian cricket.
For me the most unforgettable moment is the match between Sri Lanka and India (1996 WC) when the match had to be abandoned as India lost seven to eight wickets and then the crowd turned unruly and started throwing bottles in to the stadium. It was a match that the nation as a whole should never forget as it was one sole moment when the defeat of India lay in the hands of the non-players.
We are a group of 11 friends and we had been planning this for a while now. I have already decided that I won't shoot on 19th and we will all be watching it as a group in one of our houses. It will be a celebration through the series. If India comes into the finals I have decidede to take up one of the halls and invite friends and cheer Team India as a team!
