are you an insomniac?why would you want to listen to 5 days solid of cricket? its hard enough explaining the rules to americans , where you can play for 5 days and it still be a draw, and that lunch and tea are an integral part of the game !!!

I am a Pakistani born American, so I have had the chance to experience both "national pastimes" in both countries. Cricket is by far the much more classy, elegant, poetic game. Baseball is more rough and tumble, a little less elegant but can be as exciting. In Baseball you are assured of a result, in TEST Cricket a Draw is a perfectly acceptable result.\n\nI love the New York Yankees, but I would definitely choose a Pakistan-India or West Indies-Australia Cricket game even over the Yankees-Red Sox game.

The game of cricket has a known history spanning from the 16th century to the present day, with international matches played since 1844, although the official history of international Test cricket began in 1877. During this time, the game developed from its origins in England into a game which is now played professionally in most of the Commonwealth of Nations.\n\nNo one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex. It is generally believed that cricket survived as a children's game for many centuries before it was increasingly taken up by adults around the beginning of the 17th century.

Yes they are playing to little tests, but the reason for that is that the BCCI (Board for Control for Cricket in India) know that one day games generate a lot more money.  So to boost their income, they will rather play more ODI's.

Few Historical Facts;\n1. Earlier Cricket test match used to be played for indefinite time unless a result would come out instead of Five days.\n2. On the early stage,there was under arm bowling instead of over arm bowling.There was story of introduction of over arm bowling.Once a lady was playing cricket with few Gentlemen.She was supposed to bowl.But she wore a wide-spread long skirt and could not deliver under arm bowling.She bowled over arm and gave trouble to opponets.After this incident,over arm bowling was introduced and it became popular.\n3.On the early stage there was no restriction on using specified bat.A man,in a match,used a door to save his wicket and made the opponent very frustrated.After this incident,rules were made on the measurement and size of a bat.

Cricket can take days to finish, but as far as pace goes - curling.  I fell in love with the sport after the Olympics, but when you have a sport that allows you 1 hour of "discussion time", how much action can you have?!

Well it did didn't it - reinvented as Gridiron? Much the same as Cricket was reinvented as Baseball. Too many skills required and too many rules, so it had to be dumbed down. So they made a smaller ball and allowed forward passing (much too difficult to work on passing a ball with 2 hands...and backwards). They couldn't figure out the scrummages because everyone had their hands on the (small) ball, so they opted for the pileup and then covered this up with a wonderful spin, that the whole game was about gaining yards (I forget the term). They could even then develop statistics about how many yards had been gained by players the team etc. Masterful application of elementary arithmetic!
