maybe its an age thing
I use to luv watching ODI, the original One Day cricket introduced was epic viewing, probably being the first time and the Packer circus.
Especially the gen of the players at the time, icons, leaders,legends, it was brilliant entertainment.
Then once these other cash grabbing formats evovled I walked, don't bother watching any pijama cricket since.
Its BS.
I still am fascinated with Test's though, Ash's is iconic - I get the boredom for some as mentioned but I'm also a massive golf viewer and thats probably even more boring for many
