Bah, one of my favorite sporting events takes over twenty days... and involves a bunch of skinny guys riding their bicycles around France in the summer.

I went to the 1st day at Sydney last week. It really was an excuse to get drunk. In itself, not very interesting to watch.

i have no idea, but i'm guessing that since all of the participants of a bike race are in constant motion (unless they drop out, crash or stop to take a leak) there is more activity. who moves during a cricket match? the bowler and the batter, and then the people trying to catch the ball?

The thing I could never get used to with cricket is how the bowler (that's the guy who throws the ball, for my fellow Yanks) always rubs the ball on his white pants to heat up the rosin for a better grip. Consequently, he spends most of the match with a huge red stain pointing at his crotch...

He's actually polishing one side to make the ball spin, he will 'spit' the other side
