Can anyone convince me that cricket isn't boring?
So there's some tactics and strategy involved, but so has every sport and that alone doesn't make it exciting. If a sport needs an entire day to play, and 3 or 4 whole days to complete a series, and people watching would need a book to read to pass the time, I'd say that the sport boring.
Answers:
I've got to say i used to agree with you but i dont anymore. i first started watching 20/20 cricket which only lasts about 3 hours for the whole game. you can go after work - have a few beers with friends and relax. you should try watching that first. then go onto the longer form of the game. Although i do have to say that some of the four or five day tests can get a little tiresome if there's not alot happening. Try the one day game first though, its a good way to just chill out!
No...it is very boring!!
Nope, sorry!
Of course, now you've invited them all to bore you with the details. you didn't really think it through did you?
I agree, I'd rather have my teeth pulled
You could try trainspotting instead.
There is one day cricket which is quite exciting!
I would try convince you.. but it really is BORING!!!
Most people who don't have the mental capacity to appreciate the subtleties and nuances of the game, often find it boring.
You answer your own question. noone can convince you. why asking at all!?
God no its the worst sport in the world to watch i have a sleep problem so i put that on and i conk straight out :-)
no but you can have some fun back yard cricket
heck no - cricket is more broing than watching paint dry!
cricket is one of those games that you either find very boring, or very interesting
i love watching cricket, even a 5 day test match
go and buy a video of the "botham ashes" and watch that. if it doesn't convince you that cricket can be interesting, then please keep your opinion (you are entitled to it) and don't bother watching cricket (if you find it boring and watch it anyway, then i would suggest you have some masochistic tendencies)
Now you're asking the impossible. Although its a great cure for insomnia
NO SORRY ITS AS BAD AS GOLF
nope
Too long to try...but how about this for starters...get hammered and get a suntan at the same time?
Would you ask the same question concerning religion ? No !
So cricket being a religion, cannot be criticized, because wide parts of your country would be in danger, ! consider eg fox-hunting and all collateral effects of Mr Balir stubborness against those people - after all why won't you watch at the same time Tv porn AND cricket ?
yes.lara sachin inzi afridi dhoni symonds ponting razzaq flintoff pietersen . n the list goes on n on n on....all of thm can convince u that is only if u want 2 b convincd! it is the gentle most game ot the planet earth
Have you ever tried playing it? Get about 9 friends and play in Teams of 5 - helluva lotta fun if your actually playing it
it is my best game
it is different from all the other game
if your team is doing well it will look interesting to you
but if your team is doing worst it will look boring to you
None of the sports is boring . Sportsmen paly sport for the pride of their country
Basically cricket is only boring to those that dont understand the game, like any sport really.
If you want to get the fully entertaining side of cricket watch Twenty/20 matches, 3 hours is all it takes for a match to be completed, thats good for a cricket match.
Also a golfing event takes 4 days, do you find that boring? Its based on the same principle, and NFL, well that takes about 5/6 hours for a match, do you read a book to pass the time for that too?
Cricket like any sport is as fun as you make it :)
are you interested in any other sports? YES
that sport is boring to me. WHY
because everybody has their own choice.
YOU CAN'T IMPOSE YOUR CHOICE ON ANYBODY ELSE AS THEY CAN'T ON YOU
Buddy the passion comes form within.and who says you can't do anything in between a testmatch?!
I don't feel that I need to convince. Mostly the interest comes when your country is playing. And also in the worldcup. Look no one is bounding you to watch the whole match and not move?
Enjoy it properly, and if you cant seriously try 20 20.you'll like it better as its quicker and more active
Chao
I knwo that even if i told you a hundred times that its not boring, you probably wouldn't believe me. The truth is, it is actually one of the best sports around, and you really don't know what you are missing out on.
The edge of the seat feeling that you experience during those tense moments when your team need 3 runs of the last ball, and you have your hopes pinned on a Sachin or a Lara to make that happen..well i simply can't explain how exciting those moments are.far from boring!!
Maybe because it involves so many rules and techniques that people do not even bother to give it a chance. Sure, it is definitely a game which takes more time to understand that other sports but its worth it!! Pure quality. Make sure you watch next year's world cup, i'm sure that'll convince you how good the game is.
We dont have the need or right to impose or convince you. If you dont like cricket, its your problem, not ours.
If you don't like cricket it is not up to us to help you, you can take part in discussions on a sport which you like and not post silly queries on a topic that everyone is discussing passionately.
ur just a idiot dsats y u dont like it. u need to see dhoni in action. youtube it
Cricket itself isn't a boring game. One Day cricket is a faster version of the same But ask someone who has played test cricket , he would tell you that there's not "Some Tactics" involved but a very tough mental exercise. Even the viewers know the frenzy cricket can whip up in people.
If u don't like that game leave it,it's like a religion in the countries in asia,aus,Even to some countries of africa and america.
