i mean the announcer goes NUTS when finally there is a flurry of activity and then... it goes back to dead still... that sounds a lot like baseball. the uneven and unpredictable delivery of "gifts" like these interesting moments is actually a good strategy for developing an addiction. with lab rats, when they get rewarded with a treat for tapping on a bar, they become much more addicted to tapping if the reward is delivered at infrequent, unpredictable intervals than if it is regular and predictable. so it is with passtimes like baseball and cricket. if you haven't become addicted, it appears irrational and stupid. but, once you cross the "event horizon", you will sit there like a mesmerized lab rat tapping the bar all day and hoping for a treat.
