I'll go ahead and say what phuckingduck is probably thinking.

How the hell as cricket survived as a spectator sport? I tried watching a cricket match once and I actually fell asleep. Even my trying to understand the game could not keep me awake. It's just hit the ball, hope nobody catches it on the fly and do a shuttle run. It's utterly boring.

One day matches still are just that- 1 day. The 20/20 games are just a bastardized version of the game. Baseball hasn't had to change the rules to cater to shorter attention spans.

And Test cricket shouldn't change the rules to cater for short attention spans.

Cricket is a game of mental application, a battle of wits, mind over matter. Like chess, you spend time manouvering your opponent into position. It is also a wonderful thing to watch on a sunny afternoon with a few beers and a good book. Without cricket there would be no Test Match Special and a world without TMS is a poorer place indeed.

Oh, and the day the England cricket team takes lessons in sportsmanship from Ricky Ponting is the day that the Pope does a duet with Marilyn Manson.

Lets get the discussion of boring sports.

And he certainly didn't give it everything at the end. He has said he can make 9.4x and after that I actually believe it, the guy is frikkin fast. I have to say, I didn't think I'd get to see a WR below 9.6 in my life span, but he's just crackin' record so maybe we'll get to see 9.4 images/smilies/biggrin.gif
