Is Cricket an interesting or a boring game?

[Costas2008]

I've tried to watch cricket a lot of times in my life but the outcome is always the same.

I fall asleep after 10 minutes.

What do you think of cricket, is it an interesting or a boring game?

Poor guy the Brits.. and Ozzies are going to lynch you.

[gerry123]

well COSTAS old chap i find cricket interestingly boring

[David48]

Khun C ... I think the last question should be ... "Not being an Aussie never heard of the game".

You can go back into the Poll and change the question (I think).

BTW ... it's the biggest in India.

[pgrahmm]

One rainy day in the PI with nothing to do I started watching a match - didn't know any more about it 4 hours later.....and by that time I didn't care anymore....

Nope......it's correct, nothing to change there.

Have you ever heard of the game, David?

Costas read and you will be fully enlightened.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

[mrtoad]

for those that understand the game, its interesting. If they don't well they are missing out

The best explanation I ever had.

Thank you Sir, for enlightening me and the Aussies...........

Cricket is a THINKING MANS (or woman's) Game.

People like Costas who lack any nous will never get it.

Are you listening to the man Mr Neverdie?

You are missing out.

Maybe if he bowled a maiden over and had a tickle down to fine leg, he would feel better about it?

Tut,tut...

Women play Cricket too!! The English Ladies are better than the Fella's at the moment.

Cricket is a fine game if one takes the time to understand it.

I'm 67.

Another 20 - 30 years for me to understand it?

Do you think I have the time?

Learn the fielding positions first.

Of course if the bowler is at the other end, these positions have to reversed on the chart accordingly, but not if you are viewing from the bowlers end then they remain the same.

If you keep this rubbish up you'll be given 20130 lashes.

BAD COSTAS.

Man up!

Ps: have you been at the David puccie, 'I have no bicepts club' ?

[robblok]

Id rather watch paint dry as cricket, but then again it comes from an island nation and those lads have always been a bit off compared to people from Europe. I don't hold it against them they have many funny things over there. Must have been the isolation that drove them bonkers.

How are the plans for that 'Man Up' school going?

Apparently, I need to enrol.

[luk AJ]

I prefer "curling" at least this is an olympic sport!

[Rumblecat]

Cricket's dull as anything. I used to play it as well, and even then it was still tedious as you can get. It's one of those sports like golf or F1 that when someone tells you they are into it, you can pretty much put good money on them being on the dull side. And nothing wrong with that, we can't all be fireworks, some of us have to be the background.

Clearly you never played it properly or have any understanding of the social side. Cricket tours are anything but dull

[Rumblecat]

Tours might be amazing and the social life might be a whirlwind of never-ending fun. It doesn't change the fact that the game itself is still, sadly, incredibly dull.

I don't think the Aussies can lay claim to inventing the game. I believe it's origins were in the 'other hemisphere'
