Love it!
I cannot watch any "sport" these days. Although I do watch some (live and on the TV) when in Oz.
It all seems a bit like wrestling was.
3 small points.
When test cricket finally returned to free to view TV in the UK it was pointed out that a couple of the England side had not been born when it was last the case.
One of the things that helped the strong showing of the Australian side in the 1990s onwards was their ability to score quickly in test matches.
This was a deliberate policy which I believe Ricky Pontin had a fair bit to do with.
Yorkshire's 317 from 60 overs would be considered quite pedestrian these days where at least a run a ball is expected.
