I really feel like a grumpy old curmudgeon shaking my fist at all these changes (after having grown up watching test matches over the better part of a week in a rather leisurely fashion -- dudes couldn't run and could hardly be bothered to make much of an effort; style mattered so much more). Okay, will stop venting and pining for the good old days just about now!

I am thinking of test cricket. But mostly I was just teasing any members of the former empire around.
I have never really understood the rules of cricket. Which for a baseball fan is saying something.
