Eternity by example:
"You're on the checkout line at a supermarket.
There are 100 people in front of you at the only checkout counter that
is open.
They are all at least 80 years old, have four carts full of groceries,
and are clutching hundreds of discount coupons apiece.
It's the first day on the job for the checkout girl, and she doesn't
speak any English.
Add 15 minutes to that, and you've got 'eternity."
- Emo Phillips
Subtract 15 minutes from that and you've got Cricket?

One day cricket?
Each team bats for 50 overs, or until the opposing team gets them
all out. The match lasts for one day instead of the usual five, and
the teams wear colourful uniforms.
I think the most similar American pastime would be fishing. Some
people find it exciting but most just enjoy getting drunk and sunburnt.
