Why do you watch cricket? Nationalism or Preference?

Do you watch cricket because you like watching the game of cricket or because you like following your (or your nation of origin's) national team?

I've always wondered whether I would watch cricket if Pakistan didnt have an International team playing.

I suppose if I'm being brutally honest, the answer would be no because I dont go out of my way to watch any cricket that doesnt involve Pakistan. I'd even watch Pakistan A team cricket or Pakistan u19 cricket over other International cricket.

That's not to say I never watch other teams play cricket because if I'm bored out of my skull or I switch onto a match that's getting a bit exciting I will stay and watch until it gets boring again. But I do not go out of my way to watch cricket that doesnt involve Pakistan.

What about the rest of you? Why do you watch cricket?

Do you go out of your way to make sure you never miss a game of cricket? Or do you only watch when you've got time or do you only watch when your national team is playing?

And if you only watch your national team, why do you think that is?
