Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I still don't really understand the sport, but I've watched a handful of cricket over the summer and it does look like a lot of fun, so long as a game doesn't take five days.

One of us! One of us! There is a tournament called the Indian Premier League that kicks off again in October. Good gateway into the game if you’re interested. A lot of the world’s best players are in the tournament and the matches are about the same length as a baseball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Test format, so a five-day match is ideal for me. As Paxter says, shorter formats like T20 (approximately three hours) sound more your speed. In the States, WillowTV should have at least some of the IPL matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathen! Test cricket is the only real cricket. If you're just starting out though then T20 cricket would be a good entry point. Game is short with a high rate of run scoring.

Xray the Enforcer Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Now that the 4th Test is over, we should probably migrate to a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
