Answers on a postcard.

No. It's still tedious crap.

Aye, those CB series you hold are awe-inspiring compared to this 'McCricket'.

Actually, England are current holders of the "CB Series". How quickly you forget, steel-wings.

Yeah and I've found this tournament more enjoyable than that morose, piece-of-sh!t tournament.

Depends if you've bothered to watch it. It's actually alright. You may well have ADHD, but I find it hard to get bored watching 3 hours cricket. It's the dragged out forumlaic nurdling of ODIs that make me fall asleep.

I've been to a few games here and found them boringly predictable and almost totally devoid of excitement. It's like watching a really badly organised net session.

Thank Braddles for the Rugby.

Whether T20 is cricket or not is debatable, but it is sure as hell not boring.
