well I'm no expert but as far as I can see it requires almost no athletic ability. Theres definitely a bit of hand-eye coordination and a small bit of skill involved. So its up there with darts.What's wrong with cricket, @scutter ?

This is exactly why I find it theoretically approachable, I haven't attempted to approach it yet. I did watch it for about 4 hours in 2009.well I'm no expert but as far as I can see it requires almost no athletic ability.

yes. Does that seem unusual? By athletic ability I mean dexterity, speed, strength, stamina. That kind of thing.Athletic ability is distinct from hand/eye coordination and skill?

I know you're a cycling guy so you might rate endurance over skill, but I just find a lot more to respect in a skillful act than a powerful one.
So being able to throw a ball at 150kmh for about 4 hours.
4 hours? Like, 4 hours solid?
I thought there were several bowlers/batsmen. And they just stand around for ages between plays, then head off for a cup of tea. How long does a player actually be involved for in any game?

And if you want to compare cricket to hurling or soccer, go right ahead. You won't get me doing that.
I don't even know if cricket is all that skillful. .
his rump is a bit too meaty. I'd imagine he has a bit of a belly too. Nice arms though.this guy looks pretty athletic
well that ends that debatehaha. No you don't know. Not at all.
Without sounding like a dickhead you said it yourself, it's your uninformed eye. It looks like a fairly simple thing to hurl a few balls at someone but like baseball it's a case of as soon as you start watching it it becomes immeasurably more complicatied.
