Sorry guys I just don't understand anyone enjoying watching (I can imagine playing the game) cricket, to me it's like watching paint dry
I know in the UK I'm in the minority but what the hell. My brother can spend all day watching it :QUOTE]
Hi Martin,
I was exactly the same as you with regards to Cricket until I played a Nurses V's Consultants charity match.
It was excellent fun, the strategy, the running after the ball, the trying to hit a ball you can't even see. I hurt in places after that match that I never hurt playing rugby.
+ we won by six wickets.
Then I had another stroke off luck. I was ill for the entire England V's Australia ashes match (the one we one) I was totally wiped out and all I could manage to do was watch the cricket. Not to fast paced as to lose the game, Fall asleep for an hour or so and catch up immediately and it allows you to get your three square meals in. You can't tell me that’s not a brilliant sport?

Now thats a game I can't watch. I know that the cue skills are amazing. However, no interest for me. Not even on a black and white TV whilst drunk on cider.

I admit knocking around with a group can be a laugh but watching it is just like you explained, come back an hour later and you haven't missed a thing
The worst thing is a lot of Dutch people who are genuinely interested ask me about the rules, now that's difficult to explain, especially between a test match and a limited innings game.
