It is definitely a sport, although every time I've tried to watch it, I've been confused as hell. Even reading the rules confuses me. But I don't doubt it's actually as sport. Cricket is a sport and it's really confusing too.
Is it, though? Really?
Just kidding, I know cricket is a sport. Somehow simultaneously boring and nonsensical, but a sport nonetheless 🤷
Considering Golf and Archery are considered sports as well
There's a simplified, and faster, version called Twenty20 cricket which I kind of understand after watching a couple of games, but I'm still relatively confused.

I want to understand cricket. Something about a sport so complicated that most of the world is totally befuddled by it, but yet it is super popular in a lot of Commonwealth countries and independent former British colonies, intrigues me. But I've pretty much given up.
I know about Twenty20 and, while nowhere near as bad as Test Cricket, it's still basically bizarre baseball for damaged people pining for the "good" old days of more blatant British imperialism 😉
Btw, who the fuck calls the absolute pinnacle of excellence in their sport "test"? Ffs! 😄
I have long been puzzled by the word "Test" being used also. Best I can figure is that a Cricket match is a test of of the players know how to play correctly and a test for the fans in watching a whole match.
I'd fail that test SO hard! A single match takes up to five days with 6 hours of play each day!
That's two and a half times as long as the LOTR extended edition, for ONE match of inbred baseball!
