I love international cricket- I can easily watch and follow a test series in all its glory, something that my wife cannot understand- although scarcely does the opportunity arise to do this since Skysports bought the viewing rights!
This last Test takes the biscuit though.
It was a 5 match series (called a Test match) against a West Indies side who hasn’t beaten us (England) for almost a decade. One match is 5 days long- each team bat’s and field’s twice- and thus the test is a total of 25 days long over a period of 2 months!

England suffered an embarrassing collapse in the first match and went 1-0 down. Since then- and this is the part that Liz and most American’s I’ve spoken to just can’t comprehend- every 5 day match has ended in a draw. You play for 5 whole days, and you draw a game! No winner. So England played for 25 days, and ended up losing 1-0.
The logic in that escapes me sometimes.
Give me 4 goals against Real Madrid in 90 minutes any day of the week.
