frankly, I don't think it does anyone credit to be disparaging about any sport. Some find Rugby Union boring, others find F1, Basketball, Rugby League. Millions find these so called boring sports captivating. All sports have events which are less exciting than others. To enjoy Cricket, I venture to suggest you need to understand it as a game which is like Chess, full of tactics and individual battles between batsman and bowler. For people who do understand a sport that sport can be exciting. To criticize without understanding is a token of ignorance IMHO.
