I've never seen cricket in my life.
At least for soccer I see 10 year old girls play it.
Not enough Indian immigrants yet. Give us a decade.
I happen to be the 3rd best ranked cricket player in the Southeast USA, AMA
What are your averages m8
yeah but neither have singapore
you should just be able to collect some drunk fat people and make them think its baseball and win easy
>AAA Amsterdam
>AAAmerican names
We have a cricket team? I've only seen it here when I see pakis playing it at central park
But I thought that as they were the World Champs at baseball they would be great at cricket? R-Right guys???
Didn't we win?
And asking this would be like asking why the UK is so bad at baseball or real football.
The two sports are actually very different.
I don't know how to read this score
>cricket
Why is it that countries with lower standards of hygiene are better at it than developed countries?
inb4 hurrr if our boreball players tried cricket they would dominate then show that one boreball player hitting the ball with a cricket bat out of context
>Amerishart education
Can you read and tell me what happened?
weak b8 m8
>why the US so inexcusably hopeless at cricket
the ball is round
only leg armour allowed
requires more skill than just slugging
short concentration span
niggers are bad at it
>only leg armour allowed
Apart from helmets gloves forearm protection and a cup
We scored 237 to their 217.
Now I see the box score was updated and Singapore beat our Indians by a run. Oh well.
kek
but to be fair niggers can be good, west indies used to be GOAT, and indians are pretty much niggers
>singapore won by 7 (seven) wickets
Now tell me why every fucking player for your baseball team came from the Bahamas?
They got independence in 1973
Indians are crap m8
Is that good or bad?
>why the US so inexcusably hopeless at cricket?
Nobody really knows about cricket here, except for Indian immigrants. I have never seen cricket in my life or heard anyone talk about it.
those west indian lads are darkies, not niggers.
This is my extremely basic understanding. You bat until there is 10 outs. You need two batters on the field at all times (on both bases) so your inning is over when the second to last batter gets out. You can get out by flying out or the bowler (pitcher) hitting a wicket. This is the number after the slash (438/3). Singapore has 438 runs and 3 outs. So they are on pace for ~3x that score with 7 more outs.
Theres only two bases, a run is when you make it to first bases. The two batters basically switch bases until the outfield can get the ball back in play.
An over is 6 balls thrown, thats what the (# ov) shows. The overs I think dictate rotation of bowlers/batters. Not really sure what else that is for.
It's a one day game so there's a maximum of 50 overs
haha holy shit they did not win by 1 run doofus, point is they overtook US's score with 7 (seven) wickets still in hand, there's just obviously no point in playing out singapore's whole innings if they've already gone past their opponents score, if they had they in theory would have won by 40-50 runs
USA are SHIT
>So they are on pace for ~3x that score with 7 more outs
Mostly right except this. Batsmen get worse and worse down the order as the specialist bowlers start coming out. Generally the first 4-5 batsmen score the vast majority of runs.
Ah ok - I always thought limited overs would be much more approachable in the US anyway. How the fuck do people pay for beers all day over multiple days for test matches....
You understand you're talking to a brick wall, right? Nobody in America understands cricket or how it works. Quidditch is unironically more well-known here than circket is, and it's not even a real sport.
Yeah so fellow Americans - its like they got mercy-ed in the 3rd inning.
HAHAHAH
AMERICRICKETS BTFO AT THEIR NATIONAL SPORT BY FUCKING SINGAPORE
MY
SIDES
I SAW AN AMERICAN CRICKET PLAYER FIELD ONCE.... HE FIELD HIS BELLY WITH CHEESE AND SUGAR HAHAHAHA
AMERICAN CRICKET PLAYERS ALWAYS GET SIX.... THEY GET SIX WHEN THEY EAT TOO MUCH CORN SYRUP HAHAHAHAH
HAHAHA WHY DID THE AMERICAN CRICKET PLAYER GET CAUGHT OUT? BECAUSE SOMEONE ASKED FOR HIS OPINION ON GEOGRAPHY AND AMERICANS ALWAYS GET CAUGHT OUT WHEN YOU ASK THEM ABOUT GEOGRAPHY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BAD EDUCATION SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL AMERICANS ARE SO FUCKING FAT AND USELESS AT CRICKET EVEN THOUGH EVERY AMERICAN TEENAGER PLAYS CRICKET. EVEN WHEN I WENT TO AMERICA THEY HAD CRICKET PITCHES EVERYWHERE. I GUESS THEIR FAT FINGERS JUST CAN'T CATCH A BALL THOUGH AND THEY CAN'T BOWL EITHER BECAUSE AMERICANS DON'T HAVE BOWLS THEY EAT OUT OF HAPPY MEAL BOXES AND BURGER PAPER WRAPPERS AND DIRECTLY OUT OF JARS OF MAYONNAISE. AMERICANS ARE SO FUCKING FAT HAHA. AMERICANS CAN'T THROW A BALL UNDERARM BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH A HUGE MILITARY BUDGET THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS OVERARMED WHICH IS WHY THEY SPENT TRILLIONS INVADING 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND DON'T EVEN WIN
AMERICSNA RE FAT
20/20 (20 over limit) is kinda similar to baseball in pace desu
And with test matches people only tend to go for one of the days but you're right about it being an excuse to drink all day
I just checked the score real quick.
Good for Singapore. Bad for us, as well. I'm sure this crushing defeat will send our nation into a collective depression.
You used to be able to bring in a cooler with beers to the matches. Now I guess you just preload/go out of the ground and drink kinda like tailgating.
Most cricket grounds are in comfy quiet areas.
50 over matches still take all fucking day
20/20 is the most accessible, much less mindgames and tactical off-stump bowling. you want people out as fast as possible
>Singapoor won by 7 wickets (with 26 balls remaining)
>losing this badly at a sport they invented to a small city island
>the city of America
*breathes in*
HAHAHAHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't understand anything in this post or this thread. Cricket is like baseball, right? Only everyone is required to pitch submarine-style? Going 20 for 20 sounds fucking amazing, I'm not sure that's ever happened over here.
I understand the length of time - baseball games are 3 hours here and beers cost $12 a piece, so I have no idea how people could afford to drink and eat at American prices for multiple 8 hour days.
>Cricket is like baseball, right?
Good video showing the ins-and-outs of cricket.
kek this fucking vid
How are our Lawn Bowls and Darts teams doing?
That's my real concern.
>Cricket is like baseball
pitching and bowling couldn't be more different really. in test matches you'll see players wear down the ball and wicket (surface) over time to manipulate its bounce and swing, huge amount of depth to it.
not to shit on baseball though, crazy how fast and pinpoint accurate pitchers are.
Cricket is a game. Not a sport.
test cricket is the best sport in the world by far you fucking pleb
why america are so shit lads?
Cricket is a commoners sport. That's why America doesn't care about it and shit countries like India and Pakistan play it
Why don't you write an article about it in the next issue of osq?
>cricketer is a commoners sport
kek the complete opposite, baseball is a plebified version of cricket. cricket is the sport of the british empire, a game of elegance and class. potato niggers in america resented its poshness and thats why you play fucking baseball you fucking idiot
bump
cricket and baseball arent remotely similar. only similarity is the fact they use bats
We have a cricket team?
Christ and I thought our soccer teams were horribly neglected.
yes and you're absolutely dogshit.
why do america shit at all global sports?
Because they're plebian.
please tell me more about history big muscular mr american. did english football not exist before the premier league, is the world flat, and the whole world cares about your sports
lmao where i live there is a full league of indian fathers who play cricket at the local park. this park has a cricket pitch built on it, because the population of indians in this suburb is so high.
Are you retarded? A country that was a British colony not that long ago and still has quite a few British + Indian residents hasn't seen cricket before?
>why do america shit at all global sports?
why do euros care so much about sports played mostly by third worlders?
I don't think anyone East of Britain is even aware Cricket is a thing. Argentina plays Rugby and people know of the existence of baseball because everyone knows what the American sports are even if they don't watch them, but I've literally never seen anyone mention cricket outside of Sup Forums in my whole life.
This.
what are the pitches like in brazil?
what are the pitches like in france?
>OP in yet another transparent "please watch our sport" beg
lmao so? Only 3rd world shitters care about the "sport" called cricket
>USA ARE TERRIBLE AT CRICKET
wow i am very surprised?
>w-w-we don't care
HAHAHAHA EVERY TIME
WATCH OUR SPORT - Britcuck
i really believe no one cares about cricket besides like 6 countries
why is the crazy bong bullying so much?
>East of britain
Legendary cricketing nation the West Indies? Ireland? Canada?
Literally who cares. It's like knocking any given European country for being bad at baseball. No one outside America give a shit about it, just like no one outside India and England give a shit about cricket.
What are the pitches like in Norway?
what are the pitches like in chile?
they don't exist
no one even knows cricket exists here
>hurrr why don't you play some garbage left over by our empire like the rest of our poor little cucks?
Geee... probably because we were the one nation who told you to get fucked, twice?
How do both of you mix east and west up.
mooh me lega?
can the poo who started the "what are the pitches like in x" gimmick, tell your anglo friends to stop parroting
only seen cricket irl here in the states twice, both from Poo in loos and paki's playing it in the park
Do you honestly think an American athlete that is gifted enough to play a sport at a professional level would settle making $30k/year playing a sport nobody watches or plays in this country, when the have a shot at making $5+million playing in the NBA, NHL, MLB, or NFL?
Next time, try to rub at least two brain cells together.
yeah who cares when we have baseball
There's literally ZERO cricket teams in 99% of US High Schools, and 90+% of unis. If one of my friends said they played or even watched cricket, he'd definitely get punched in his gut for being a fag.
i literally started it he's parroting
>money over passion
Top division rugby players are some of the best athletes in the world and earn fuck all compared to other major sports.
>being this insecure
>Australia has dominated the sport for the last 50 years
Good theory mate
The Dutch invented cricket
Try 30 or so mate
It's popular in the entire British Caribbean, every British Pacific Island, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, the British Isles, the Channel Islands, Bermuda, Belize, Guyana and the entirety of South Asia and is moving into South East Asia and Arabia
half of those aren't countries, moron
Not to mention a bunch of African countries
Name one that isn't Mr Big Strong American
They have different skillsets
Then why do you nips suck dick at cricket
>a shitton of islands
>name one that isn't a country
wew lad
you do realize baseball and cricket evolved separately you dingus
You do understand that we don't play that sport at all right? Like maybe you could find a club that plays it on weekends or something, but it's not even an option for the most part.
