Just watched the final game in The Ashes series, and it was a fantastic show. Mooney came out to bat for Australia, and set records for both the highest individual total and highest team total in an Australian T20 match. Then a shocking performance in the field allowed the Poms to fight back for the victory - breaking the newly-set team record in the process. Very entertaining indeed. Bring on The WomBBL, I say!

Are you watching the men's cricket? I watched a bit on Saturday afternoon. Very good.
Test cricket is too slow for me to just sit and watch. I put it on for background noise and then dip in and out. It's also good for when you have guests—of which I've had plenty lately, and will soon have more.
I agree with that. I am generally on my computer or doing craft with it on. Though I think you really have to sit and watch it for all five days to truly understand the chess-like proportions on the game they are playing and the mental toughness required to pull it off successfully. I spent a whole summer once with nothing better to do. It was awesome.
No, I agree that test cricket is a lot like chess … and watching a test match is a lot like watching a chess match which lasts five days.
