    MCS i love all cricket but normal cricket is dying. 20/20 is the future like it or not. My son is nearly 5 and his fav sport is baseball because in cardiff school kids play baseball a lot, its quick and a result is easy. Its a tricky one. I love 20/20 and the ashes will be a 5 min walk from my cardiff home but to people who we need to entice to our game its too slow.

    Agreed. Test cricket rules. If I had to choose, my order of sports would be:

    1 - Test Cricket
    2 - Football
    3 - Ice Hockey
    4 - Rugby Union
    5 - Baseball

    20/20 is shite - the novelty for me wore off about two years ago.

    Cricket All the way.


    I went to a live Rugby game for the first time last year and although I enjoyed being able to smoke and drink watching it I had no clue really what was going on.

    Cricket easily. Test cricket is my prefered format by a mile.

    Cricket by 22 yards and then several boundary miles, too.

    In fact, it's not just cricket over rugby for me. I hope this doesnt get me hounded off this board, but if you put a gun to my head and said I could spend my last day on earth watching either CAFC at the Valley or KCCC at the St Lawrence, I would chose Kent at Canterbury (although I'd demand that the sun was shining before making my final decision...)

    Test cricket is one of my loves. I've always gone for team sports in general as when it is done right it shows how a group of people can pool together their individual talents and work together to achieve something.

    20/20 may not be as great imo, but it has its place in a world where we pretend we want everything fast paced. Eventually some people realise that it is about enjoying the journey and then they'll understand that test cricket is the business :-)

    Saw a news item on 20 ball cricket this morning, so if you think 20/20 is quick......

    Cricket hands down, the Test variety or the 55-60 over version. Used to enjoy Rugby Union in the 70's it seemed more open in those days. Find it totally boring now.

    Cricket for me.

    Like Rugby Union but only ever interested in the internationals.

    Don't like Rugby League at all.

    Comparing rugby with cricket is like comparing apples with oranges. I like both games, but rugby is more like football in that it's a physical, athletic sport and over in a short period of time. A good cricket match takes time to develop into a game and there is considerably more craft involved.

    Can’t stand Union.
