Tennis can be fairly exciting if the players are good, but lawn bowls definitely takes the cake for painfully boring sport.

Bowling is kinda boring too.
Also try watching submarine racing

Snail racing.

Tenis can be pretty intense. A world-tier professional match is never boring, since it either involve the players dueling like beasts or one of the players completely wrecking the other, with ocasional comebacks.

I used to think curling was boring, untill I watched some olympic games.

Bugger off, tennis is an awesome sport! Probably the best sport that gets televised, unless you count various cagefight-y things that are generally more likely to involve bloodshed. Yes, tennis is exciting to watch. Unless you have hopeless amateurs playing, I guess... that might be a bit less enjoyable.
Even lawn bowls is better than golf and cricket, though.

Yes! This ninja speaks truth!

Tennis' issue is that out of pretty much just about any sport... It is probably by far the most Noobie unfriendly (outside horse and car related sports) and unathletic unfriendly.

It is why the Tennis association actually created OFFICIAL noobie rules. to make it easier on them.

Cricket occasionally has good hits, so it's at the bottom.
Watching golf is probably more awful.
But lawn bowls tops it. One of the most boring sports I've ever been forced to view, and that list includes fishing.

Edit: does anyone find watching poker particularly exciting?

As a former cricket player, I can confirm that its one of the most boring sports to watch and play, except for the odd moment when you're actually involved, in which its stressful and involves no teamwork.

Don't let anyone tell you cricket involves teamwork. They'll have never actually played a team sport while thinking about anything other than their own achievement. Or have never played cricket.

Sweeping had never been so intense.

I kinda like e-sports occasionally, mostly Starcraft... Starcraft 2 is okay too...

People like you are killing the sport.

I disagree!

Ehhh e-sports are kind of a hostile horrific thing to try to get into.

Unless your REALLY good... it is hell.

And even if your that good, you can easily be sunk due to situations that don't even involve you.

The burden of proof lies with you!

[Neonivek]

The burden of proof lies with you!

Only in a proper debate... as in a debate for a contest.

The whole "The burden of proof lies with the person who makes a claim... ANY CLAIM!!!" is based on nothing.

It is the equivalent of making "No hands" part of everyday life.

Yet because I am sure people are going to argue against this...

Should I state that laying a foundation AND challenging it... both require a burden of proof anyway? Neither "Cricket is a team sport" and "Cricket isn't really a team sport" are supported.

Thats partly the fault of the games though, isn't it Neon? Besides starcraft and its build order apm shenanigans, you've only got hostile team shouting simulators (or whatever dota-styles do when its not random people thrown together), and Counterstrike that I know of.
