I'm British, and I hate cricket. You'll probably find that most people do. :) Simon Following an eye test, I have discovered that I do not need pointdexter-style glasses with 6-inch thick steel frames in order to continue staring at my monitor. How gutted am I? Sonork ID 100.10024
He's right, I'm British and I hate the game. I don't know anyone who watches or plays it either. Although I enjoy golf and snooker, 2 sports which can fairly span time, I fail to see even a pulse of excitment in cricket. Do they not just have to smack around ball for 5 days? :-D It ain't what you know that matters. Uncle Monkey

My friends asked me how I enjoyed my vacation and I told them that I watched and played as much cricket as I could. So their reply was "Cricket it is worse then watching wet paint dry". I donot get it. Cricket is more thrilling then any other gain invented by mankind. Watching Baseball or Football is not even half as thrilling or exciting as watching cricket. I think any impartial non American would agree with me on that.
Rama, I've never seen cricket played. I know nothing of the rules. I don't hate it, i know nothing of it! Yeah, i could watch it on pay-per-view, but it is insanely expensive. :( If you want to write an article "Cricket for ignorant Americans", go right ahead :-D --------_**
I don't think that I'm a sell-out but I do "Enjoy Coke!"...

>>"Cricket for ignorant Americans" That's a great idea but Issac Sasson might be the right man to do it. He is an expert in writing such articles:)

Well not really. Firstly I'm not English, secondly does England even have a cricket team anymore? I thought everyone got fed up beating them all the time and they just gave up :P It ain't what you know that matters. Uncle Monkey

Cricket sucks. Football sucks. Baseball sucks. Give me a comfy chair, a fast internet connection, an IDE and a few good books any day.
