More action than baseball, no CTE brain damage (football), minimal injuries, amazing athletic abilities by the players.

We've been enjoying watching mens & womens games from New Zealand on ESPN+ (Hulu),

It helps that the games are played during the day in New Zealand which gives us a chance to watch it here (US) while relaxing after a busy day.

The "T20" matches are completed in a modest amount of time. I wouldn't recommend "Test" matches, as they go on for days and days ...

And it's fun trying to figure out what everyone is saying .. the New Zealand accent is ... different!
