Bangladesh would be 3-0 up against England the way they're playing at the moment. Still, it's easily the most boring form of the game. Is anyone actually looking forward to the world cup?

I was, until I remembered that the format is simply horrible and the entire thing usually ends up taking at least eight months to finish.

Yeh, they do string it out ... I still prefer it to T20 though, at least I can pretend a element of skill and concentration is involved.

Oh, and for the World Cup I'd lob a few quid on Sri Lanka if I were a betting man ...

One day cricket is a bastardised form of test cricket and as such utter crap. Seven one day internationals? Give me another test and a couple more T20s any day.

At least the T20 doesn't pretend to be proper cricket.

Fair point, got to spread the revenue over the states though ... it has little to do with the long-term benefits of 'proper' cricket these days ...

Test cricket is real cricket. The toughest and most beautiful form of the game.
