I can't get over the idea that the people who invented the sport thought "So how long shall we play it for, 90 minutes, a couple of hours, no how about 5 days!!!".

I'm so glad that many other people dislike cricket. My sister pretends to because her boyfriend plays for some cricket team, but it's obviously dull as a dull thing. And it always fills up Channel 4, stamps all over Hollyoaks, then finishes early and they show us one of those Friends episodes where all they show are flashback clips of previous episodes. Cricket: evil! Those episodes of Friends are just lazy i tell you. LAZY! Does your sister have to sit and watch the game for 5 whole days, or are school cricket games a lot shorter? If you do, i'm never going out with a cricketer!

The worst is Snooker/Tennis/golf on BBC 2 when it just chucks away Buffy or Malcolm In The Middle. When the golf was on, they threw away TwentyFour for a week. You can't throw away TwentyFour for a week. The tension is too much. Oh, and in Wales- we get rugby on Friday nights on BBC2 and Saturday nights on S4C In Wales we have S4C- which is bad in general, apart from the mighty Sgorio or Planet Plant Bach which has Fireman Sam, Tweenies and Teletubbies in Welsh and is therefore almost as ace as Balamory

I completely agree with you Mr.Jonny S4C reeks for the most part. Worst of all is the fact that we get all the Channel 4 programmes years after you lucky english people. But hey I live in Bath for most of the year so he he.

It's shit isn't it? My parents love it, even though it makes no sense and nobody ever does anything in the entire game. As a result, they are watching that and I haven't been able to watch PROPER TV like Balamory and stuff all day. [insert your own "not cricket" joke here] it is. it's also uttely incomprehensible (or is that just to me?) I was made to play the stupid game at schoole most summers, and despite this I still have no clue what the hell the point of it is...or more particularly how the scoring works.

Cricket is the greatest sport in the world. There's nothing like it for a combination of strategy and individual brilliance.
I have a feeling that it's not going to be a game that converts people though. Unless you are brought up to love it, it might be hard to get into.

It's called Pobol Y Cwm and I can't say I've ever watched it in my life- so maybe it is good
Not far off on the spelling by the way ;D
