I can understand why some people are put off by test cricket. For those who don’t know, test cricket is that form of the game where matches are so long that every now and then play is interrupted while the players go home, say hi to their family, sleep for eight hours or so, then return to the playing field.

Well, picture this. I’m sitting in a warm room, reading an interesting book (“Online Share Investing for Dummies” if you must know) and still enjoying the game. It’s the first match of the ashes, which is a series of matches between Australia and England.

I’m not sure if the fact that the game is so sedate that it doesn’t distract from one’s reading material is something that makes it more appealing to outsiders, but it’s something I’ve always liked.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to the game. Well, to be honest, I could probably keep writing and occasionally look up at the tv, as I’ve been doing, so I should probably say that I should get back to my book.
