I do watch Test cricket as well, but probably not every ball. The 'White' cricket is ranked right up there when compared to 'Coloured' cricket.
For me, an Indian cricketer is somehow ranked higher than a non-Indian cricketer. And to see them getting split up into different teams and play for different sides puts me in a fix. I do admire Kumble (ex-RVCEite on top of that) and Dravid. That criterion fades a little with the likes of Boucher, Kallis and others in the team. If there was a match between Karnataka and Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy, I would definitely go all out for Karnataka, like a true Kannadiga. :D
And now, what if, Dravid and Kumble play for 'say' Chennai Super Kings in the next IPL. Wouldn't you be confused? ;) :D That might also happen since Zaheer is now playing for Mumbai and Robin Utthappa is playing for Bangalore when they were in different teams last time.
I just gave an example of Chennai, it could be any other team. :). And frankly speaking, I like the Chennai team. Dhoni, Hayden, Murali and the lot. Anyways, I am still the confused fan. And RC seems to be going out of contention anyways, so I need not care at all now.
