    I too stayed and watched the whole thing. First time watching cricket. Getting up now.

        Yes but not WATCH watch because it lasts way too long. More like something I’ll have on while I do stuff.

          Cricket is the perfect background sports on TV. I always associate it with having family or family friends over and people chat/eat/do other stuff during the lull periods. Then everyone drops what they’re doing when something exciting is about to happen. Rinse and repeat.

          Yeah 50 overs each is a long match. That’s why I like BBL. 20 overs each. Night games. Players get mic-ed up and just go out there, have fun and slog them for six for charity. A really good atmosphere.
