I have no idea about cricket, and I do not want to start wars but no way is cricket ever as thrilling as tennis! For me, if you stop to have tea and you have overweight people playing,,, it is never going to be a sport to challenge something like tennis;)
You have no idea about cricket hence you said that. Unless you understand cricket, you will never realize it and it's should be completely okay for cricket fans.

But you are referring to the rule for Wimbledon for many years now. Tie breaker still goes but until fifth set, points like what happened yesterday, final set tiebreaker at 12:12.
I just realized I missed the epic Wimbledon final yesterday. I almost forget that it was yesterday, I was too busy to watch the world cup final. That was another epic final happening in the same time in World Cup Cricket.
The cricket fan witnessed the best ever cricket battle in between New Zealand and England. It never happened before. Both team did not lose the match but when there were nothing left to find a winner then they decided to give the world cup to England because they scored more boundaries in the final.
And here after looking at the score I realized, tennis world also witnessed a historical match. After looking at the score I gone for point by point score and man(!!) both Djokovic and Federer played their match of the life! I can not believe my eyes what I was seeing. The last set games wow! then the tie break.
England as a country should be proud of hosting two epic match is two different sports in the same day.
How long they battled?
