Think you meant "can't". Each to their own mate, I find cricket tedious but find snooker compelling. Can't please all of the people all of the timeNot sure what 'complete pump' means but if you can sit through a summer of England smashing the Aussies in the Ashes then I feel sorry for you.
Anyone see Chris Gayle smash his 176 in the IPL? truely one the 'where were you ' moments of sport...
Thankfully nowhere near a TV when it happened! ;-) Sorry I just have never been able to get in to cricket at all but I can understand why many do. I remember though when my older brother who was as passionate a city and football fan as myself told me he actually preferred cricket now I was absolutely horrified!
Pele was a shit player because his son went to prison!

That's ok... Different strokes and all that... I don't care for snooker BUT I will sit and watch Ronnie play, the guy is a nutter/genius... Not sure which!
My guess is he enjoys watching it.
He watches City for Christ sake so he will be well set for watching boring sport. This season was the worst football i have ever seen and that includes all the tripe that got promoted to the championship.:wave:And how he hasn't lost the will to live watching that much of the most boring 'sport' ever created.
Don't you even dare. People who don't appreciate cricket, or perhaps even worse, those who watch T20 but don't like Test Match cricket are people who don't deserve the oxygen so graciously granted to them.
Test match cricket is possibly the most perfect example of human achievement. Patience, perseverance, strength, stamina, power, agility, immense concentration, accuracy, mind games, tactical awareness, the list of attributes required is almost endless. He who does not have the attention span to enjoy it is a poor and unenviable man.
And above all, the value of sportsmanship and the drinking of fine ales on a grassy mound on a sunny day make cricket the finest game on Earth.
