Antifreeze Head: Jun 6, 2005; It begins; Pillbug

It's a chance to hang around outside on a nice summer's day and get smashed.

Really though, test cricket is five days long because a-way-back-when, the English aristocracy wanted a game that the poors couldn't play, so they decided it should take an entire week. The poors couldn't afford the lost wages, so the bluebloods kept their game, even though they were a bit poo poo at it.

On the other hand there's now Twenty20 Cricket with it's Flashing LED Wickets and rock music.

Also cheerleaders, who are often American imports. At least in the IPL.
