Which would you rather watch? An elaborate simulation of the human digestive system that produces "poo" at a designated time each afternoon? Or a weak West Indies side playing Australia in a Test?
The answer might not please Cricket Australia or the Tasmanian cricket officials attempting to drum up interest in a contest that bookmakers are predicting will be the most uneven in more than a decade of Australian sport.
In a twist on the theme, promoted by cricket sceptics, that watching paint dry can be more interesting than watching Test cricket, there could be as many people looking at paintings at Hobart's Museum of Old and New Art as inside Blundstone Arena for day one of the first Test against the West Indies on Thursday. 
Hobart's weird and wonderful MONA, which displays "traditional" art and boundary-pushing exhibits such as the Cloaca machine or "poo machine", is closing in on 1000 pre-bookings for Thursday.
Cricket Australia is less forthcoming with information about ticket sales but there were anecdotal reports over the weekend that fewer than 1000 tickets had been sold for the opening day.
To be fair, it must be said Hobart is a rock-up-on-the-day kind of crowd when it comes to the cricket, and the weather is always a factor.
But even if you take the undisputed Fairfax Media report last week - that Cricket Australia is expecting a total crowd of less than 10,000 over the first four days - and broke that figure down to an average of 2500 spectators each day, the point remains that the cricket and MONA will be on equal footing.
As far as the predicted lop-sidedness of the series goes, it is safe to state that it has reached epic proportions with the punters.
Australia are $1.01 with leading bookmaker Sportsbet to win the supposed two-horse race in Hobart. The West Indies are $34.
That kind of discrepancy is more unique than you might think.
Sportsbet was hard-pressed finding too many other examples of "$1.01s". It had to go back a decade to find one notable Australian comparison - in   June, 2004, when the Socceroos started an international match against Vanuatu at $1.01.
More recently, they scaled the opening rounds of the tennis Australian Open - when Novak Djokovic played Slovenian Alijaz Bedene, or Roger Federer opposed Yen-Hsun Lu. The last time this kind of pessimism pervaded the lead-up to a Test series in Australia was 2003, when the home side was listed at $1.01 to beat Bangladesh.
The build-up to that series included David Hookes claiming Bangladesh did not deserve to play Test cricket and it was Australia's duty to beat them inside a day to prove the point.
The Age's Greg Baum even wrote at the time that Australia should consider fielding a "development team" - rather than the unstoppable juggernaut led by Steve Waugh, Glenn McGrath and so on.
Who would have ever thought that the team once trademarked by Curtly Ambrose's intimidation or Brian Lara's genius would now be compared to Yen-Hsun Lu in terms of the level of competition they are anticipated to provide.
But perhaps the biggest insult - from the Australian betting public, anyway - has been reserved for the Windies' top-order batsmen.
As of Monday, the same agency had taken more money on Jason Holder to be the team's leading run-scorer than any of his teammates. He will probably bat at No.7.
