Does anybody else have a second test playing nation?

[England First]

Do you have a second country that you support when your main team aren’t playing?

I do. India are my second team. I have no connection to India and no Indian friends. I’m a white Englishman. It all comes from growing up watching the great Indian team with Dravid tendulkar sehwag VVS kumble harbajan. I was and still him a huge Dravid fan. Favourite non English player of all time. Still have his britannia bat. Classic.But it’s also because I find India as a country fascinating. I’d love to go there. Cricket is an obsession out there. Just like it is for me really. The crazy crowds, brilliant defensive batsman, spinning wickets, way its so different to England in every way, are all things that make me like Indian cricket.

I do flirt with a few other nations like New Zealand, the present team are amazing and the Hadlee era and I’ve watched hours of YouTube footage of the 70s and 80s West Indies sides.

I tend to follow underdog teams, in addition to underdog team.

So, I am currently gravitating towards SL because I invested some time today and watched the Lanka Premier League final...got to see some new faces...and honestly there are some really great players in SL.

Pakistan I guess? Not very strongly though.

 

[Athlai]

Bangers

 

[Starfighter]

Not really. I have a rough stack, with NZ and Bang nearer the top and India and SA nearer the bottom, but usually it's whoever I dislike the least.

 

[morgieb]

Zimbabwe and Ireland. Tendency to also support underdog style teams when not play Australia.

 

[honestbharani]

Windies

 

[Burgey]

Yep. I played seven tests for Australia in the early 90s and represented Fiji in rugby league as well.

 

[Burgey]

Neither of these things may actually be true, btw.

 

[Teja.]

Probably Sri Lanka. Generally just root for the underdog though.

were these over-60 Test matches?

 

[Burgey]

No, I told you they were seven test matches. Learn to read ffs.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Definitely Sri Lanka. I also like the Saffas and Zim.

 

[aussie tragic]

West Indies, which was more from watching their dominance in 80's and 90's. Now I just feel sorry for them and hope they get better

I tend to watch South Africa tests when possible - going back to Donald and then following that Steyn.
