It might just be the purist in me but I don't really enjoy limited overs cricket.
Test cricket (the 5 day matches) on the other hand is just about the perfect spectator sport for the Australian summer I reckon. You have the Xmas Holiday period with time off from work combined with the fact it's too hot to do anything around the house. So putting your feet up enjoying a few beers and watching the cricket with your extended family is a great way to pass the time.
Nah, I disagree. I do like test cricket but I absolutely have to be doing something else at the same time to watch it (like playing a game or programming). It's a terrible spectator sport.
On the other hand, limited overs cricket doesn't do much for me either. I'd rather just watch a footy game at that stage.
