        I watched a bunch in Australia last year over a week. Pull up the wikipedia page for the rules while you watch, it helps a lot. - spamlet Apr 26, 09:40
      - yeah, 20/20 is pretty good. I kind of consider test cricket like a playoff series (and it's 5 days). -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:24
    - what does Derek Jeter think? -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:20
  - and you thought a baseball game took a long time? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:19
