  1. Cricket is a sport for when golf has become too exciting for you. A handful of countries play each other repeatedly in various formats, trying to compensate for the contrived inadequacies in each. It is far more a pastime than a sport, with only the occasional moment of activity. For the majority of the time, it is simply thirteen objects in white standing in a field, kind of like sheepdog trials when the dog didn't show up. The slightest hint of light rain or even a bit too much cloud, and the players scarper off indoors for a bit more rest from standing around with their hands in their pockets. So often, after five days of tedium, they just call a halt and declare it a draw. Even when there is a result, the deterioration of the pitch over five days means the result is frequently decided by little more than who wins the toss on the first day and gets the best of the conditions. They really ought to stop there and save everyone a lot of boredom.
