Because it's not futbol.
True story. I had 4 Indian guys who lived next to me who I'd bull**** with. They decided to explain Cricket so I would stay up until 4 a.m. to watch Indian cricket. I would lose conscientiousness somewhere around 20 minutes.
1) Holy **** the rules are flippin' crazy
2) Any game that goes on for days, yes days, would have to be the least satisfying sport ever.
To each their own but it'll give you a new appreciation for "long" baseball games.

Well that 19 and 59 seconds longer than me
I was trying to be polite.
Cricket is really boring to watch even for those of us who loved playing it, but it is still better than ***yawn***baseball.
You are certifiable. I'll stick with rugby as my international sport. Well, that and sumo.
I’m partial to Flonkerton, the Icelandic version.
Tennis and golf are international sports.
That's a myth. I read in home school Chet Von Golf and Hezekiah Tenniserton invented both at the same time fending off Indians and Unionists.

Only fat boys need apply?
The best things about cricket. Breaks! The 10:30 snack break, lunch break and the afternoon tea break. That and the fans barbecuing in the grounds.
That's just a picnic. I can go out and nobby some hogwilers while eating chicken too.

Speaking of which, who wouldn't like a good game of Pasuckuakohowog.
Pasuckuakohowog? That's exactly what those guys were doing to Henry during the hogwiler.

Basically a true story, but there were only three drunken indians, one of whom allegedly had Unionist leanings.
Ironically, that incident became the inspiration for 5-cent beer night, which never really caught on at Wimbledon but was a big hit in Cleveland.

Only a sport invented by a colonial empire would allow barbecuing of fans on the grounds.
Now I know what English BBQ is.
Wait.
Its Soylent Green?
