Five days is far too long. - unless you are deeply into the concept of the game's 'inner drama' (as it was once explained to me.) Five days exceeds my attention span by a factor of about 1,000.
For most of us, I suspect, cricket is a deeply boring game - until, of course, England looks like winning The Ashes. Then everyone starts to discover that they were always a secret fan and they start buying enough newspapers to keep their proprietors in business for months.

We only lost to avoid the Big Whinge session we knew would take place if we Won again for the um-teenth time....so we let the Pomms take it for once to make it interesting!

To be fair it is extremely depressing to invent a sport that it seems everyone else is better at than us.
Its bad enough to do it with one sport but more than one is just very very depressing...
I think the Americans have the right idea on this one - have a World Series but not invite any of the other kids over to play! 
Actually there is something very relaxing abou going down to a local Cricket match during the high point of English summer (15.35-17.40 17th August) dowing a few beers and watching a number of grown men beat away at a little red ball and shout inconprehensible things to each other...

I don't know much about cricket, but it can't be worse than golf or the WNBA.
