You obviously haven't sat through a five day test match full of slow scoring and ending in a draw......

You are correct there. But I've seen baseball games go scoreless for 9 innings and then you get over time....
I would like to take in a cricket match some time though. Even if I didn't understand most of what was going on.

You can watch it on satellite TV, though most of it will be limited overs, where you should see a decisive result; you can also see it on You Tube.
Incidently President Eisenhower did watch a cricket Test Match at Lords when he paid a state visit to Britain, I believe in 1954. I presume his familiarity with cricket came from his wartime experience in Britain prior to the D-Day landings.

I usually find test match cricket terminally boring to be honest but I do enojoy watching the limited overs games, loved the 20/20(i think) from India not long ago.RF wrote:You can watch it on satellite TV, though most of it will be limited overs, where you should see a decisive result; you can also see it on You Tube.

40 and 50 over matches are also good.
I know not everybody likes it but I like it when they use the white ball, bit easier to see on the tv

Even drinking it was so slow...
During my exile in Trinidad I had to endure those endless crickett matches, some of them lasted for even days. At the end a co-worker told me that cricket, in reality, is not a sport... is just an excuse for drink beer.You are correct there. But I've seen baseball games go scoreless for 9 innings and then you get over time....
