- I can never decide if cricket is the more, or less boring version. -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:19 9
  - I really like the 20/20 format. I think that's a big step for the game. - spamlet Apr 26, 09:22 7

      - 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
