In saying that, test match cricket is the most "pure" form of the sport.

I'm thinking most Americans couldn't sit around for 5 days from 11am to 6pm watching one sport, the others wouldn't be able to understand that the game ended in a tie after 5 days

I am surprised nobody as tried the 20/20 game over in the states, almost like a home run derby type of game.
