No Wonder The Americans Don't Get Cricket
Scene: My office at 8:45 a.m, in walks Jack our 87 year old part-time cashier.
Jack: I bet you're happy this morning
Me: (internal dialogue) : Happy? We lost 2-0 at sodding Goodison Park, why should I be happy?
Why's that Jack?
Jack: The Cricket, it said on the radio it's going to be a draw.
Me: Probably, unless we score quickly, declare and get them out cheaply. Yeah, draw's most likely.
Jack: Funny game cricket, you know the result and there's still a day left.
Exit Jack.

I agree entirely, Paul. Also, a game of five days duration is too much for their sense of spectacle.
I once went fishing in Georgia with my American brother. His boat had a sonar device for locating shoals of fish and I commented that this didn't give the fish much of a sporting chance. His reply was "Sporting chance? We're after their ass!!"
Lol to both Paul and Shy
Lol Shy - I love the Americans idea of 'sport'
