My husband is currently watching baseball. I don't enjoy any of the sports balls but this one is very much like cricket but so much less shitty and boring.
Baseball originated in the US, back when the US was still great. So sad the golden age has passed. It is also a great sport due to low numbers of non-white players.
Nah, T20 (you have a pitch limit) is the best form of cricket, and is far more entertaining than baseball:
- baseball has a "fair" field that's about 90 degrees...cricket, you hit the ball and doesn't matter which way it'll go
- baseball player hits a home run, he then has to sit and wait to hit again...cricket batters keep hitting until someone gets them out. Far more entertaining watching a hitter get boundaries in a row...4, 6, 6, 6...
- other than whatever cricket calls halftime, its faster paced than baseball.
@Cunt - best reason why cricket is superior: if the bowler is a jackass and the catcher fucks up, they scored four points on themselves. Best schadenfreude ever!
I was at the Marlins' first no hitter in '96 against the Colorado rockies. 11-0 and not a boring game at all. Sportsball events were still clean, family fun at the time.
Lol, I remember actually liking the streaking puck and was disappointed that it didn't last long. Watching hockey on CRTs kinda sucked.

Cricket is for greasy curry niggers and other assorted imbeciles

Wait until you sit through a no-hitter...just a pair playing catch and a whole lot of standing around.

Was sweet to see a grand slam at Miller Park on 4th of July though.
