I didn't like the challenge system brought in for the last ashes either. I'm a traditionalist!

Twenty20, to me... is just a bit of fun. It doesn't hold much weight with me at all. I understand why the ICC is going with it -- but it's jsut "not cricket" ...
Never seen a Test match in my life. ODI's for life. Love the Twenty20.

wow!

Boxing Day test, is a test that is played every Boxing Day (day after christmas) between Australia and... who ever is touring.

When England is here, its the Ashes (as per last Boxing Day test)... Day one is almost always sold out regardless of who is here, (100,000 people).. I normally go Day 1,2 & 3

Do you think its likely that USA could field a team any time soon?

Chess---the only game that is played competitively in every country in the world, with the added feature that the rules are EXACTLY the same in every country. And it might be the competitive game that is played regularly by the largest number of people.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure basketball is either the second or third most popular sport. I needed to research that kind of stuff for a report. Good stuff!!
