Cricket is a pretty great sport, but I can understand why people wouldn't like it.

I really don't understand how it isn't more popular worldwide that baseball, probably the shittest sport in the world along with s:lolccer.

funny thing is even in Australia and New Zealand this cricket sport is hated and considered the most boring thing ever, not even considered a true sport.

Sure there are tools out there that still follow like, like the same tools here in america where they still follow baseball :lol

cricket, baseball, same bullshit fake sport usually played by unathletic geeks who couldn't make real sports rosters just played with different ball and bat

All of this is quite untrue, tbh. Can understand people not enjoying cricket, but what you said does not ring true.

Captain of the Australian Cricket team is pretty much the second highest position behind prime minister, tbh.

and Derek Jeter is considered royalty here in the US of A.

Don't mean the sport is basically unwatchable and is on a downhill spiral.

plus the "national pride" bullshit is what keeps cricket going. Some tools wanna see a guy with a kangaroo on his jersey win a game to feel special. whoopteedoo

Cricket is actually the 2nd most popular sport in the world.

Twenty-20 format offers all the excitement you get from Football and Basketball. And it's definitely miles ahead of Soccer and Baseball. But yeah the ODI and particularly the Test format are boring as fuck.

You seem fairly ignorant in things concerning cricket so I won't bother correcting you there. But regarding baseball...

Baseball isn't dead -- yet. Sure, there are threats, and the cable network bubble bursting in the next five to 10 years is by far the most problematic. But when October rolls around and playoff TV ratings are down again, remind yourself of one number: $9 billion. That's the record revenue last year for MLB, a $2 billion increase in just the past four years, according to Forbes. (For context, the NFL hit about $11 billion last year, NBA about $5 billion and NHL $3.7B.)

yeah, but baseball still is one of the most boring activities in human history. It used to be America's sport. not any longer and never will be again.

good luck proping yourself by throwing random dollar figures around thou :tu

If you looked at my previous posts I actually mentioned how Baseball is indeed boring compared to Basketball, Football and T-20 cricket.

The espn quote was to merely refute your claim that baseball is "basically unwatchable and is on a downhill spiral".

20/20 will be the future of cricket long-term. The test matches and 50 overs will be a thing of the past. People don't have time to watch all that.

Yes, I am being serious. I am a huge fan of all types of games and wouldn't mind familiarizing myself with cricket. Right now when someone says cricket, I think of darts.
