Cricket
Like baseball, with pitchers, catchers, batting and switching sides. But no gloves when they field the ball! Different variations of the game mean different time commitments: a 20-20 match (20 rounds for each side) is about 3 hours. 50-50 is about 6 hours and the test matches last for 5 days! The stadium in Adelaide is beautiful, and as you can see, I got a bit distracted from the sport and was taking photos. At least I actually sat in the stands. Some girls (and guys) go to the "member's section" and just drink behind the stadium all day!
