Colin Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I wish I could understand cricket but I'm lost. Take baseball, remove the fat people and all but one glove, make the pitching infinitely harder and the batting more difficult in terms of having more fielders against you, then... ...make it last three or four days, make scoring so easy it makes a basketball game look like a defensive struggle, and have it televised so much in North America that the bulk of people who hear about it think it's a character in Pinocchio... And you have the positives and negatives of cricket as well as the basic game. It's a good game that's played at a patient pace, which means the average North American person has no interest since it's not at breath-taking speed. Watching it is like watching pain peel (much like baseball), and yet playing it is intriguing and quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL exactly, that's why I always watch the highlights that last for about an hour, instead of watching the entire tiring game.

Pierre the Great Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I always hear the score or innings or whatever on BBC World Service when the Sport guy comes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
