Mark Albrighton Posted June 23, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don’t watch cricket, but I don’t particularly mind it. I’ll be at a T20 game at Edgbaston later in the year for a stag do. It’s better than rugby, which in turn is better than the few snippets of American Football I’ve seen. However golf is worse than both cricket and rugby. But Formula One is probably top of the dreary pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love Slamball but found the novelty wore off after a pretty short period. After that it's kind of just basketball.

lapal_fan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Cricket is good because there is usually a reason for everything. If a batsman isn't trying to strike the ball, then he's either playing for a draw (just not getting out), or he's waiting for a bowlers spell to be over (a shitter bowler will be up next). But strike rates now are generally higher than they've ever been. In T20, you'd never get the batsman not trying to score, unless he's faced a really good ball, which is why people like t20. In a test match, because there is no "team A are winning" then it's interesting because is it a low scoring innings because the bowlers/fielders are so good, or because the wicket is bad? If it's a high scoring first innings, is it because the batting team are good, or the bowlers are bad? There's this internal pendulum in cricket which swings in batman losing their wickets and the closer the game is, the more interesting the pendulum is to try and figure out. It's kinda like watching the sporting equivalent of a good thriller "will they, won't they?" Edited June 24, 2019 by lapal_fan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Cricket and rugby are definitely two sports I just don't get. Love baseball and the NFL though. A few people I know are confused by that, not sure why as there's really very little they share in common! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
