It's a team game.
Less so than football or rugby.
Which is part of cricket's appeal.
Indeed, but I always refer to a photo taken from the Windies batting in the 1979 World Cup final - the two batters Alvin Kallicharan and Joel Garner are physically completely different, their main roles also being completely different but both were integral to the side at that time. Many sports are or increasingly produce homogeneous players with similar physiques. Yes, you can still get shorter footballers but no longer the likes of Mickey (he's fat, he's round, he's rolling on the ground) Quinn or Frannie Lee whilst Rugby players of both codes are interchangeable.
