Jason, you should be hung, drawn and quartered for even watching that rubbish called One Day Internationals. 
Test cricket is the real thing. As the wonderful saying goes, ODI's are "just not cricket"!
Have you been coverage of that 20-20 junk?
Chris -
Twenty20 is like me playing nine holes. Doesn't take long, and the ball gets hoiked all over the lot. A quick flip of the hands with the tee shot, and I'm looking at a 4 towards long on.
NB: If you've ever seen CBS coverage, sometimes Oosterhuis and Feherty will mention hoiks. Don't know if they've ever referred to a Hank Kuehne drive as an cow shot, however.
As for the pyjama (sic) game, I think I'm too new to cricket to be totally averse to it, but clearly the tests offer much more in the way of strategy. Good to have something more than "we'll conserve wickets for the first 35 overs, boys, and then go out and have a nice slog."
Now I learn DirecTV has pay-per-season cricket (home tests and ODIs of Aus, SA, Zim [fwiw], and Windies, I think). Not England, however, so no Ashes at this point. Still, I might have to go get a dish.

ps to James: I've already proposed a revised PGA tour schedule (see elsewhere on this site) which removes Pebble, Torrey, and Riviera from the California version of "the wet," and am perfectly happy to move La Costa as well, physically and/or temporally.
