Posted by Sadeesh Kumar Duraisamy, Software Engineer
If you're not into cricket, read no further. But if you are, you must know that everyone has an opinion on cricket and each point of view is unique. You sometimes choose to share your views with friends and family over a ‘dinner and watching the cricket match’ get-together ritual. Your uncle often interjects with his usual support for
Shane Warne
's superb bowling, even though Shane is now retired and not playing for Australia in this year’s
World Cup
.
Whatever your favourite mode of cricket expression might be, the
Google cricket campaign in India
allows you to join in the world cup excitement in more ways than one. Howzzat?
Talk cricket on Orkut
Cricket discussions that started in the elevator can spill over to the
Orkut
network. Especially this season, in association with us, cricket expert and former Indian cricket captain
Krish Srikkanth
has created
his own community on Orkut
to interact with cricket lovers, debate the latest happenings and just share cricket views.
Express yourself on a blog
Write your own views about cricket on
Blogger
, and then publish and share them with the world online. If you would rather read about cricket than write, Krish has also created
his own blog
on this year's World Cup action. Get to know him and his take on the games and his memories of his 1983 victory at close quarters. And if you've taken a fancy to blogging, submit your own blog this World Cup season to our
cricket blogging contest for Indian audiences
.
