 Marxist commentaries on cricket and football
The vast majority of cricket matches in England- sorry for seeming a little imperial oriented, but less is played in Scotland and Ireland than in Holland, and only SE Wales boasts a county side - is limited over, one-day in the pro-leagues of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and evening games for the majority.
But how to explain the passionate loyalty to a local team, the rivalry that crosses all barriers within an individual city, whether it is football in Manchester, rugby union in the Welsh valleys, rugby league and Aussy Rules in Sydney, or cricket in Bombay.
Support for a team - I speak not of the trans-continental following of US football and baseball sides that is to the icon of a cap or a helmet, as if to a flag - does carry overtones of chauvinism to the extent of xenophobia, even in India-Pakistan cricket tests.

 The British Lions in South Africa
The writing had been on the wall during the 1974 series - already the SA cricket team hadn't played test cricket for well over two years - but by the time the 1980 tour left, the anti-apartheid movement was in full swing.
