I actually think cricket looks kind of interesting. If it had any sort of exposure in the U.S., I'd watch it once, preferably /w someone who could explain the sport to me.


I'm with Terps on this . I love sports. If I knew what was going on I'd give it a try

I've found the problem.


I actually like cricket tho.
Lots of similarities to baseball which im a big fan of, with funky differences.
I've been meaning to watch it more.

yeah I'm a cricket fan, but generally only in the australian summer do I watch games. I keep in touch with what's happening in the world, but honestly I couldn't give two shits about it.

Who would want to watch a faggier version of baseball that is already boring as fuck, a match that lasts 5 days and ends in a tie... No wonder it hasn't caught on here.

one needs to understand the fine points to be able to enjoy test cricket
maybe you should try the t20 version which lasts only a few hours

there is a big difference between a draw and a tie
only 2 out of 2128 test matches so far have ended in a tie
but i guess you wouldn't want to know the difference
