England is playing Pakistan in the final of the one day cricket tournament, with the final being played in Sydney Australia.
Which team would you support and why ?

What are the team colors? I know nothing about cricket...so I would pick the team whose colors I like
Why are you asking Americans, since most of us have never even watched a cricket match?

England.

I think most Americans would too.

Most Americans like England.

Pakistan on the other hand...

I don't know. I'm iffy about England. I sorta feel like they'd play unfairly and pretend to be injured or something. But I'm thinking about soccer...

Is cricket anything like lacrosse?

That's like asking a Brit what guy will you be rooting for in a rodeo!

I would probably support the British team as I lived for 2 years as a child in England.

Not only am I an American, but I also happen to be of Indian heritage.

So, you connect the dots...

Heh, Pakistan played England in the 1992 final, with all the Aussie fans backing Pakistan.
Shall we say there is some history between England and Australia in cricket, Aussie cricket fans back Australia first, then any team playing England.
