Cricket: The World's Most Boring Game - A BBC Exclusive 

Imagine paying money to sit for 3 days to watch people try to hit a stick 💀

The name of the sport goes with how fun it is. When something happens, all you hear is the Crickets in the background.

The most boring game I have ever played

thats what happens when you go to watch pakistan

Indeed the most boring game

Only Indian and Pakistani will say Cricket is a good game. But the rest of the World see Cricket as the most boring sport.

First they introduced TEST CRICKET after realized it is dying, Then they introduced ODI after realized it is dying too, They introduced T20 Again they realized it is dying too and now they introduced T10. ONE Sport Number of versions 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ (sorry for my bad English) But cricket is my second choice after football. Especially t20

Not even an Olympic sport

Any sport can be boring if your team isn't playing. If Aus isn't playing then yes for me cricket is boring. Same with Hockey, if Aus isn't playing then it too is boring. Both are my favourite sports

Was this game made for some people with mental dissabilities?

Only a true cricket fan will understand how awesome is dis sport

Imagine attending a cricket game. Like *actually paying money to sit in the stands and watch this* 🤣💀

Watching a test match is akin to watching paint dry ☢️

this isn't a sport this is a childs game.

isnt cricket an animal?

Its too lazy and boring, you can play cricket at international with huge tummies for years

Only reason Cricket Is boring is that we could predict who is gonna win I 10 balls are left and we have to take 1 it means we have won See Football if score is 1-1 and 1 minute is left if they have luck someone can score and win football has SUSPENCE till the end

Any sport is boring when you are watching it without much firsthand knowledge. And again there's going to be real boring matches in any sport. My favs are 1.Football 2.Cricket 3.Rugby.

Test match cricket is so utterly ridiculous and boring.

It really is like watching grass grow. How do people watch this nonsense. To be fair baseball is just as boring

Cricket is only watched in few Asian countries and little bit in Australia with almost every Indian guy following i think this game is dying

Boring amd sleepy game. There's no flow. Football is the king and the best of all sports. Most popular worldwide

I am indian...Yes the game is boring..

This how cricket fans feel when they see football

I never heard this sport as a kid. Then I go to UK and see it.😪😪😪

yaa soo true soo much pause in cricket after every ball

Being an indian I agree it is the most shitiest sports and it's only popular in countries suffering from colonial hangover

Only popular in countries which were part of British empire 😂😂 So much boring game only 7-8 countries play cricket 😭

I am from Spain, we love sport in general, but cricket is really boring, we do not have any interest in this weird game, indeed I don't understand how people can watch this boring sport.

I am an Indian and I don't like cricket.

Bro came upon a game of cricket while shuffling TV channels and decided that it was boring. HUGE L

I'd rather watch paint dry on a wall and sit in a field with a beer and watch the grass grow than sit through a second of this shit I'd fall asleep within minutes.

I see a lot of standing about doing nothing

i feel sad for all my indian brothers . it isn't their fault , its the fault of my forefathers who brainwashed them and made them play this shit sport . i wish I could do something to change that :(

If you able to understand its rules than it is the most interesting sport!

It's depends on the match to match you guys go for the match between small teams and they didn't perform well go to a high voltage match between countries like India England or australia and then you can find it entertaining

How in the ever living fuck is this the second most popular sport in the world!? I would rather watch curling ffs

Virat's cover drive >>>>>

I agree, it's like watching wet paint dry

Football is boring. If a team score is 4-1 Ofcourse fans of that team which scored more goals will have confident till 90 mins. Cricket is not dependent on time, it depends on overs/balls Most of the case u can't say who is going to win until they win the match

I used to watch cricket like obsessed as a kid believe me but after a certain age i used to watch Indian super league which is the premier tournament for football in india then i understood how much of boring game this sport really is so haven't watched another cricket match since then 🙄 and il never buy a ticket to watch this

Cricket makes me want to die. 6 hours (if you are lucky!) And 3 or more days...and that is just one match! The score is like 284-7 wtfff and wickets blah blah blah innings so many fcking terms for just hitting a ball and running. It is boring, long, and complicated. Can it get any worse???

Cricket bores me to tears, so shit. I watch the local NBL Basketball in summer instead.

Better than baseball though

I definitely 101% agree!!! It's really a boring and a horrible game indeed!

Not boring but time wasting game.

This old man came rolling home is on fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🤣

Nothing is boring ,but if you everyday do same thing and just do that so that is boring if a with fareness,careness and and no controversial just take it with fun and no noise peaceful things or a game

Cricket is the most boring game 🤢

cricket is the best game in the world and it's way better than baseball

You go to watch south africa 'a' vs pak that in uae....what more to expect. Im sorry pak fans the current team is quiet good

Yes it is

To be honest i find this game totally boring. i pretend to be interested though when we are watching a match.. cuz i live in india!

That fcuking music....the ultimate torture =x-(

Cricket is really boring game

still better sports than fucking baseball

I have always thought that cricket is boring and never liked it. However: There are other sports in this world even more tedious. Such as golf, baseball, or American football.

Cricket is boring game

Yeah it is the most boring.

Even the ones wearing dhuti and having a tummy can play this game 🤣🤣

Cricket is fun to watch. Talking about test cricket. ❤️

Ahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂. I don't know which is more boring this or baseball

Poeple choose football over cricket just because they enjoy watching players fighting, anrguing, pushing each other, swearing to eachother, getting mad for no reasons, getting over aggressive over a stupid reason, but in cricket you"ll not see such thing, just some verbal exchange but not more than that, cricket is simple, and unique ! And most importantly its a Gentalmen's Game, if you want fighting, voilance, you better don't Watch Cricket, its not for you

@SamuelJoaodaSuica look at T20 Cricket, game only goes for 3 hours, lots of sixes (baseball term would be: Home Runs) are hit. Many people that dislike test Cricket (5 days of play) , rather watch T20 Cricket 3 hours of play. Baseball goes just as long as T20 Cricket "3 Hours"

Test match fielders are more like picnic goers

I'm Indian and I hate cricket. I hate wsching it and I hate playing it. It is a sport solely dependent on individual skill and requires no collective team strategy. Plus it is super boring. Football is the ulimate definition of sport. ❤

Test match are boring but odi is good but t20 is thrilling

Most boring Incompetent game World cup teams average 7/8/9 Test match playing for 4 or 5 days Result is " draw" Brah

Cricket is a boring game

Cricket is boring but a game of emotions but some players are with no emotions and fix the game for just money not with rules football is best game in the world

And they call football boring, when cricket is slow as f***

I used to love playing cricket but not much watching it after started playing basketball it’s the most boring to play especially watch

At least cricket have suspense I don’t think any other sports have suspense like cricket

Been a cricket lover, randomly gets this in my recommendation Seeing the comments and getting sad :( Tbh some cricket matches are boring BUT yall have to watch IPL and t-20 They are so fun to watch

In 50-50 match I watch 2nd innings 20 overs and in 20-20 match i 2nd innings expect final I only watch full match in world cups Test anywhere no only I see scoreboard 😢 Still cricket my favourite game

Football and cricket most great game in the world 🥰🥰

Baseball still more fun to watch than cricket. Cricket is second popular because Inida Pakistan Bangladesh is overpopulated. So yeah Go Orioles

how is it they play with a ball which could severly hurt your head

i used to love cricket when i lived in the Caribbean. i used to watch all the games. i grew up on players like shane warne, brian lara, sachin tendulkar,wasim akram ect..but once i moved to the US i just find it boring as fuck!!! i can't sit there for all those hours watching cricket anymore.there's even a lunch break in cricket which makes it even longer.. baseball is another boring sport to me.. cricket is life in places like India, Pakistan and Sir Lanka.. cricket is big in places like Australia,England, New Zealand and South Africa but they have other sports in those places thats as big or bigger than cricket. in places like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sir Lanka there is no other sport thats even close to cricket. i have friend from sri lanka and calls me early in the morning when west indies is playing sri lanka lol im like man i don't watch cricket and i don't even know the players on the teams anymore.. in the Caribbean more kids are getting into soccer now.. west indies will keep dropping to the bottom in a couple of years because more youths in the Caribbean are picking soccer over cricket now. couple years ago you couldn't find a woman playing soccer in the Caribbean. now girls are playing soccer as much as the men..

This is the match between Pakistan and South Africa but venue is UAE so 😂😂

@SamuelJoaodaSuica Again you are talking about tests which may appear to people who have not grown up with it as boring..... But as i said b4 if you want to compare cricket you cant take tests as cricket's representative, its gotta be T20...3 hours of play with virtually every 2nd ball hit in the air.....An average T20 match has more than 15-20 sixes, compared to baseball where you dont have more than 3-4. As for your opinion, its completely ok as everything is not liked by everyone...

And the cricket rules suck too

Most famous game

I love archery from olympics and football too

Cricket is actually fun too watch, when it is NOT a test match

Like to see Cricket catch on in the US. I think some baseball players could make the transition and draw some interest in the sport.

Thank you for giving this game the correct title....this is what i have always thought of this game it's soooooooooo BORING! .

The music is more interesting

@MattHXIV The catcher does, coz he puts his body behind every pitch. In cricket, the ball can be legally bowled at a batsman's face, legs, groin, throat. And not just once to milk a walk. A good cricket batsman can face hundreds of deliveries in a single innings. Hence the protection.

Badeball is as boring to watch on tv. Being live in the stands at a cricket game isn’t so boring.

Test cricket is only boring.odi and t20 not boring.odi is little boring.i think cricket has to be played only t20 it will save time.also will make cricket popular.

Don’t disrespect any sport all are equal😊

wow... exciting!........

After watching t20 I don't think you will say that 🤣🤣🤣

Golf is way better than cricket

Baseball is slightly better

Cricket is more boring than golf

How anyone can watch that without falling asleep is a miracle to me. I think I would prefer a cricketbat up my... to watching +5 min. of that.

I think after comming of the t20 format cricket does not remain boring. But true & pure format of cricket is test cricket

without cricket everything is boring
