Daft may be so, but it flows from the character of the game though. Long, reflective, drawn out.Pretty English concept though, the Tea ie. Have read a lot in my childhood in those enidblyton stories
'Famous Five' ' Secret Seven' etc:-)
In Indian life and I assume in Bangladesh too, Chai is not a one single break or event, we keep having it throughout the day! so many Tshops across all parts of India, wherever u r, u r never too far from a T shop. which also translates into gossip-political, Cricket n Filmy.
Coming back to Tea in Cricket, I am quite ok with it, cos it gives one a time to stop, reflect on whats happend, after all it is just 15 minutes or so. esp if one is at ground. crowd gathers, lot of chit chat happens, discussions, just relax a bit by stretching one's legs but the mind keeps chewing on the various permutations n combinations possible in Test match.
