Cricket in general is crap.

The fact that you don't understand it does not make it crap. Nor does the fact that when you tried it at school, you were crap at it.

Cricket is a game that requires patience, wit, courage, and grace. And you don't like it. Okay then.

It’s boring, Who gets up at 4am to watch Australia play England.

That’s what baseball fans say. I feel that both “sports” if invented today, and not historically and culturally ingrained in their fanbases, society today would not have the patience for either to catch on.

I don’t disagree. I will say all are fun to play, not so great as spectator sports. These are all more games than they are sports.

That joke weren’t funny the first time around, At least we win trophies, You wouldn’t know what one is, Being a Spurs fan.

For speed, artistry and the fact you can get matches lasting hours, tennis has to be right up there in terms of excitement.

Danny Blanchflower once said: “The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It is about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.”

I’d rather play boring football and win trophies than play attacking football and win nothing.

Then you've completely missed the point about watching sports. It should be entertaining. Would you watch a boring film or tv series? Would you listen to elevator music?

The Ashes embodies one of sport's greatest historic rivalries Matth. So quite a lot of people get up at 4.00am to watch it (not me though, I haven't got sky. Think the next series might be on BT Sport?)

We should just ban all boring sports so darts, snooker, cricket, naked fat fijian womens netball and cycling.

Yeah, when did he say that? 50 years ago? 60?
