What's Worse than Ashes Test Series Cricket? - TWO Ashes Test Series in ONE Year!

As if cricket isn't boring enough already, they had to go and invent that coma-inducing snore-fest known as The Ashes. At least it only happens once every second year though, usually. But for some strange reason, they are having TWO Ashes series in ONE year, this year.

So that's 25 days of a 7.5 hour daily broadcast - i.e. BOREcast - spaced out over 6.5 weeks, TIMES TWO now!

So that's 13 weeks of Ashes this year.

Pardon me while I go watch some paint dry.

  

You know, some of these fans will be glued to every single minute of the entire 375 hours of Ashes borecast. I think even if I had to end up living in an iron lung for the rest of my life, I would still manage to find something better to do with my time than become a drooling sports zombie!

During my summer job a few people would talk about the Ashes, I would always smile and nod my head. I still don't understand how people enjoy it.

But, BFH, it's all about the PRESTIGE and PRIDE which is important for... some reason.
