PS: When it comes to Cricket, I much prefer the shortened limited "over" games which last hours rather than the test matches which last days. But it does help when Australia wins the 2013 Ashes test match series against England with a score of 5-0.

PPS: If you don't know what an "over" in Cricket is look here.
