I find all sport tedious and boring - and cricket particularly so. Still, it has made a few of my fellow Englishmen (and even a few Englishwomen?) happy, recently, so where's the harm? If you find that patronising you could always go away (to put it politely!).
I have to say, though, that what I found particularly contemptible was all the 'fashion victims' who suddenly decided that 'cricket is cool' because England was winning. There must be millions of stupid w...ers, out there, with just a 'fashion antenna' where their brain ought to be!
