No need to fight over this. They're more or less equal.

We need a sport that combines cricket and mixed martial arts!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I'd have agreed with you before I learned a cricket match can go 9-10 hours. Knowing that, I'd have to say cricket is about three times worse...
