Why isnt Cricket the most popular sport in the world?

Cricket is a sport which is a true balance of skill and stamina.   It tests the inner soul of teamwork and sportsmanship.

Today cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.  It is played in over a hundred countries. It's following is over 1.5 billion.

I have a question to answer,  why isn't cricket the most popular sport?  What makes soccer the superior?

After all, in my opinion, soccer is very boring to watch.   It shows players kicking the ball around forever and ever.   There is no action in soccer until someone scores.   Typical Soccer scores are 4-3.  

In cricket, however with the flick of the wrist a ball smashes over the boundaries for six runs.  This can happen a lot, and typical t20 scores range from 100 runs to 205 runs.    So, in cricket there is crazy action.

But the number one reason why soccer is superior to cricket is because of its simplicity.  In cricket there are over 200 rules, whilst in soccer players are trying to simply kick the ball in the goal.  

In Soccer, all you need it two sticks for the goalposts and the ball.  In cricket you need a bat, a seamed ball, stumps, and protection.  

But Someday that day will come where Cricket will be the number one sport.  It is expanding slowly and steadily...

This is great video for the introduction of cricket.

This match was between the West Indies and the Australians. 

What happens to our online Personality after we die?

In my opinion, Social Media can be a good thing.  It can also be a bad thing.  It can be related to a t20 cricket match, because the social web is what you make of it, just like bowling in a 20 over match.  

Our online personality should live on after death, like a monument and remembrance to those deceased.  It could live on, with correct and ethical posts from family members.

In my opinion, the decision of whether it should live on or not is up to the family of the deceased person.
To me this is not defeating the purpose of death in anyway.  Social Media should live on  in a positive way after death.   As long as people don't take it too far.

If a celebrity dies, its up to the fans and followers to update the social media.    
But it is ultimately up to the person to decide what happens to their social media after they die.
