I think you're right. As someone who grew up playing softball, I've had too many Australians tell me that softball and baseball are 'boring'. How these people sit through five days of cricket I'll never know. I find cricket interesting enough, but you can't watch a game (certainly not a test) from start to finish. Playing cricket though is fun - mostly because you can never play for more than an hour or so at school

Someone else will have to explain snooker - my best answer would be that I know it's like pool, in that you poke some balls around a green table with a stick
