Horses for courses. If you like the game, it's just that little bit easier to enjoy watching someone else play it on TV. Not a prerequisite though. I remember being absolutely riveted one time, watching a limited-overs cricket match between the RSA and Australia, and I don't play cricket. I'd never so much as picked up a bat in me life until I came to Australia, where a social game of cricket, using the children's equipment, seems to be the done thing after a huge lunch and a lot of drinking on Christmas Day.
