How do you watch Test Cricket

[drizzle]

I would like to see how much of Test Cricket you watch and how do you actually watch it. Do you * watch the entire 5 days and 8 hours everyday * watch 1hour highlights of the day * Record the entire test match and then rewatch it on a lonely weekend * Catch a session of play if time permits

Used to watch 5x8 at times. I remember when I wasn't working, I'd be up all night watching India play test matches. Nowadays just watch what I can catch live and then usually watch 1hr highlights of each days play

If it is live on tv.............24x7. Try and do whatever I can to avoid any clashed with studies and lifestyle. :aha: Not live.............12x7. Go watch it online as soon as Im free from work and studies.

Watch the whole lot were I can. But obviously work commitments etc will interrupt at times. But yeah watch the whole lot basically

If there is a test match at Chennai or Blore, I would go on all 5 days.. Usually i go an hour earlier so that I get the best seat in that stand and stay put... All 5 days, 15 sessions... Other test matches, on TV, depends on whether it is played in India or Abroad, the watching time varies... If it is a home series, I get to see a lot more, during day time. These days with work from home option, I can watch test matches all 3 sessions... Again it depends on whom we are playing against.. I watched most of Ind / Aus series in 08. And the series against SA recently.. Among away series, England/SA are best for viewing as the matches start in the afternoon/evening, and we can still catch up a good part of it. Although Australia / NZ have the best grounds and produce some riveting matches, only rarely can i wake up early morning to catch the matches.. some times i dont go to sleep wonly for catching up the 1st day of an Oz series...

There was a time when I used to watch every hour of a test match. These days it depends on work and the match timings.

Don't watch the entire match every time. But i never miss India batting.I am getting turned off by Indian bowling these days in all 3 formats and just give it a pass.

All people who say they way 5*8 are lonely psychos who are not bothered by somebody in the house.

i watch the test match ball by ball most of the times and only skip a session or two if i have to go to college or if there is any exam.

Speak for yourself, coffee_rules! You just envy us lot, dont ya? :)

[Fair Game]

I watch my team bat always and watch the start of the bowling until the opposition is say 2-200 and getting on top i don't watch then but if wickets keep falling of course I keep watching.

[Ranjha]

I only watch 20 overs of test match a day and if I am in good mood, I let it stretch to 50 overs a day. No more....
