Ugh, cricket...the most boring sport on earth! Lol

Seriously, I was stationed in Europe, and every once in a while, in a bar with cricket on, my friends and I would swear we'd learn how cricket is played. After three hours of staring at the stupid screen, we'd still be baffled.

And my American opinion on this is validated as I love soccer and rugby

I heard that in a match against some team they only got 34 for all out!

THAT SUCKS!



BTW, being Indian, I love the cricket team from India!

Order of my favorite players

Harbajan Singh (Spin bowler with the blue turban)
Sachin Tendulkar
Rahul Dravid
Soruv Granguly

Hopefully India can beat the Aussies one of these days.
I can still remember that bashing the Aussies gave the Indians in the World Cup Cricket Championships a year or two ago.

Atleast India beat Pakistan in their series of many matches.

By not getting out?

Test cricket is quite possibly the most boring sport ever created. It's for those people who enjoy the subtle parts of the game. One day cricket is more entertaining, but still quite dull.

Being from NZ I have to take somewhat of an intreast because we are quite good. But I never watch the games live. Only the highlights.

Cricket doesn't even compare to Football and Rugby though. Which are the two best sports ever created IMO.

Check out Ravi throwing out the Indian players names. Dude is a cricket-head. Sweet.

I have tried a couple times to understand cricket but really need to watch it with someone who actually knows the game probably.
