What is it with cricket ?

[Leas]

What does it do for you ? what is the point of it ? it doesnt do anything , whats the point of test matches other than getting you a ranking , they even cover warm up matches on the radio sheeeeeez its got to be the most boring pointless so called sport of all time .

agreed. don't get it but my dad loves it.

Yeah and then there that game where you kick this ball between three white poles into some fishing net whilst and the 4 best teams always come in the top 4 and the rest don't and the worst 2 teams are on tv and the radio at least twice a year

I love cricket. But I think there is way too much of it played. You can practically find a game on sky sports 365 days a year.

County cricket is far more interesting and competitive than premiership football.

I also care far more for the English cricket team than the football team.

To appreciate cricket I think you need to have played it. Just watching it on the box doesn't give you any real idea of what it is about. If you've played it, even at a low level like village or pub cricket which I did, you have a much better idea of what it is about and will get much more enjoyment out of watching it

Played it and i can appreciate it,but it really is not for me,last 10 overs of a nail biting 1 day match would be about as much as i would watch on telly as for following a series? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What a stupid thread. If you look at it that way, then what's the point of any sport?

Yes but one can chose to allow it to grow a little once in a while-

*please note The Amex pitch is not included as it is not natural and so is alright.....blooming cricketers and sunday morning mowers

Surely its the opposite?
Watching cricket is doing nothing waiting for something to happen, can't think of anything more wasteful.
