Only if a baby seal is used as the ball.The harvesting of baby seals is not a sport,especially not a Canadian sport.The indigenous peoples of the Arctic(mostly Inuit) have taken only what they need for centuries.Others did decimate the population in the past before conservation and common sense.The Inuits are becoming less dependent on seals or much else from their land.They have cable,alcohol,drugs,welfare,McDonalds and restrictions on the way they used to survive.

That is a very funny question! When we play cricket we try and hit a cricket ball with a bat (not a flying bat) to get runs. When we run for runs we may accidentally stomp on someone's toes but that's all. Birds have been hit accidentally but that's all the input animals have. Have a nice day.

No, there was a competition to invent the most boring, ridiculous, and pointless sport ever. Cricket was the winning entry.
There are two teams, one is out and one is in. On the team that's in, each player is in until he's out. When all the players on the team that's in are out, the team that's out comes in and the team that's in goes out.
When all players on both teams have been in and out ... the game is over.
The real rules don't make any more sense, believe me. Guys with wooden paddles hit a ball and run back and forth. One game takes several days to play. The players act like polite gentlemen while the fans get into fights with each other.

It's the game that baseball was derived from,(after the traitorous Americans rebelled against their monarch, to whom they had sworn an oath of allegiance) in the same way that grid iron was derived from rugby. It has more than a billion fans, in England, Australia, (current world champions), India, South Africa, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and many other countries, and is much more popular, worldwide, than baseball, having 3 versions: the traditional test matches (5 - 6 days), or one day games, or 20/20 ( a few hours).

Cricket is more like baseball, except you use a wide, flat bat. It is a sort of crazy sport that is either english, or british, and it just never got popular over here in America like soccer is getting.

Kind of, except for clubbing baby seals, cricket was invented as a pretext for Australians to do similar things to poms, kiwis, pakistan, india, sri lanka, south africa, the west indies, etc. etc.

No. Cricket is an English sport. It is not a main sport in America.

Almost.. except so far as Australian Cricket is concerned.... the seals are all currently from India.
EDIT:
There are stumps, bales, bats, wickets, overs, googlies, head highs, leg byes, wides, silly mid-on, slips, batsmen, wikkies, bowlers, 4's and 6's, runs and then there is Shane Warne... who is into spin.. and texting.
