They just can't understand cricket.

I feel sorry for Americans...and Germans.

[neilep]

I too feel sorry for Americans and the French.....though I understand they can't help it.

I have never seen a cricket game and only heard it talked about here and on television!

It is similar to baseball eh??

You've not missed much, it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.

[neilep]

I'd much prefer to watch Crickets procreating !

AHHH well that doesn't sound like it bodes well for the game of Cricket!

No. Cricket takes skill. Baseball is just whacking a ball with a bit of wood & hoping for the best. And if you'd ever been hit by a cricket ball you'd realise what a bunch of nancy-boys baseball players are.

They don't have rugby league either, their grid-iron game is boring as hell to watch, and they're pansies for padding themselves up so much

[atrox]

haha..we don´t need cricket...at least we have a soccer-team thats able to make to the Em finale do we don´t ned an other sport to deflect us  []

I thought that baseball was similar to rounders, a game only played in England by primary school kids.

I understand Cricket but I don't understand Baseball. In baseball, once you hit the ball, you drop the bat and start running...but what happens to the bat? are they just left there to pile up or does somebody pick it up?

It doesn't seem to make any difference, on the Wii, if you drop it or not. I wish there was Wii cricket.

And I bet you never heared of the Wok racing championship  []

Interesting that Georg Hackl does Wok racing as well.

...and who won the stage in the Tour Of France today anyway? and didn't the brits clean up at the Track World Champs?

I'll give you the ski jumping, but ask anybody who won the Calgery Olympics, I bet nobody could tell you who won but they will all tell you who was last!

Spoken just like someone that doesn't know how to play! []

Why on Earth would I want to know how to play a Nancy-boy game?  []

[turnipsock]

I think the Beave may have a point, all the american games seem to involve lots of padding whereas all the proper games don't.



Hang on a tick, how did Baseball get into the olympics and cricket get overlooked?
