the ball doesent have to bounce
2006-07-21 11:38:10 · update #1
I don't know, but I would like to know more about it, like what an inning consists of (I am pretty sure it is different from an inning in baseball) or what a wicket is. But I am a huge fan of European sports. Pay an extra like $10 a month for FOX Soccer Channel (they should call it FOX Football Channel but that would probably involve a lawsuit by the NFL network). And that used to be FOX Sports World which used to carry other stuff besides Football. I think they need to get a channel for Cricket. I have seen more Cricket at the park down the street from my house by people from India than on TV, even though they play for fun, they don't play a real game. BTW, is Sri Lanka any good? I hear the name of that country associated with cricket more than anything else that they are associated with or whatever.

Because we have baseball.
Cricket takes too long, makes no sense, and the ball has to bounce before the batter (or whatever it's called) hits it. That's just un- American. Can't let the ball drop, then hit. Nope.

America has baseball. Plus cricket takes way too long to play.

Because another sport that's very similar to it is America's pastime.
