OK. I don't like cricket (I don't understand the rules) but I do like baseball. Plus, I'm a dual citizen (British and American)...

I disagree, mate. I figure the most boring has got to be motor sport, especially NASCAR. Now, soccer, that's a girlie sport played by retarded drama queens.

It's alright, but like most sports around here, just takes to long, so makes it hard to get into...and most are better live, than on tele.
