Do they have something like tailgate parties? Team songs? I don't know much about cricket, so anything would be appreciated.

So you finally asked a question on cricket! Just like u said!thanks for the question!
1) The English cricket fans have a fan organisation named 'Barmy army'.They travel around the world just as their side goes on foriegn tours.They are the most famous of all.
Barmy army is one fun loving group
The Indian fans tried to counter it with their own 'Bharat army'
2) the Mexican wave ,a common sight in other sports ,is now getting popular in cricket!
3)I believe the English Twenty-20 cup has its own theme music just to promote the event.Its really popular there
4)The game is like a religion in the Indian subcontinent.fans are really passionate & every time an India -Pakistan match is played,u can expect full stands.
5)...& how can I not speak of the greatest & longest running rivalry in cricket-the tradition of the Ashes series between England & Australia.something every cricket fan eagerly awaits
6) Few cricket fans in India conduct special ‘poojas’ (prayers) for the victory of their side just before a big event. There was one recently held for the comeback of an excluded player
7) Speaking about traditions, I think I should mention this superstition related to some cricket fans. The number 111 & its multiples are considered unlucky for the batsmen. A retired English umpire played a major role in populurising this one. He used to jump on a single leg whenever the scoreboard read 111
The heritage & culture inherent to a country gets closely linked with cricket
someone just did a 'copy-paste' of my answer.so people do think my answers can give them some points LOL

When I go to the cricket, the only tradition my friends/family and I do, is sit in the sun, get a tan, eat a meat pie, drink beer and do an occasional mexican wave. Some people get dressed up, particularly for the traditional Boxing Day test match, but I would imagine it's pretty similar to a baseball game in terms of traditions of fans watching.

I DONT THINK THEY FOLLOW ONE PARTICULAR TRADITION.
THE FANS SPREAD ALMOST AROUND THE WORLD.
THEY BELONGING TO VARIOUS TRADITIONS.
A BILLIONAIRE FOLLOWS ONE WHEN A TRUCK DRIVER LIKE ME FOLLOW ANOTHER.
CRICKET IS FAMILIAR FOR..."UNITY IN DIVERSITY".
