Americans will never understand the depth of knowledge that goes into cricket. For example, in cricket a seasoned veteran can look at the colour of the pitch and get a good idea about how the game will play out, which bowlers will perform best, which batsmen will struggle and on which time of day wickets will fall.
I havent even gotten started on tactics. In baseball the tactics consist of, "let's hit the ball hard lmao." The Pitchers tactic is "Ayyyy let's through the ball fast". Just put three fielders on the designated fielder positions, have so comically dressed dude to act as wicket keeper and fuck it senpai just scatterthe rest in the designated 90 degree hitting wedge to which the batsman is limited. Field placments do not mater at all because the batsmen is forced, by the rules of the game, to hit it at the fielders.

Want to use the pace of the ball to angle a finely placed glance? lol fuck off you have to whack it in the designated hitting wedge faggot. Want to play a defensive stroke to keep out a good ball? Too bad dickhead you can't choose to do that just whallop it you goof! There is absolutely no vairiety in the game, no situational decision making required of the batsmen and no aspect of sustained mental fortitude.

All the nuances of the gentleman's game will never be understood by "lowest common demoninator" baseball fags who are more interested in how many toppings they can fit on their hotdogs, or how many roids they can put in their mexicans, than anything to do with their game. Baseball has about as much subtlety as american music, that is to say none at all

Cricket is an ultimate game of skill.

In baseball you literally get a huge novelty sized padded and webbed catching glove, the ball soft and squishy and it is not even allowed to bounce!

In cricket you can unironically murder a batsmen without breaking a single rule. In baseball if you so much as through the ball anywhere outside of the batsman's designated swinging arc he doesn't even have to face another bowl, he just walks (walks) away and is spared from future embarrassment because some japanese dude didnt throw him a waste high full toss pie two feet outside off.

That's right, in baseball there is a pre-arranged bowl that inevitably is thrown every single fucking time. You can't bouce the ball (taking spin and seam completely out of the equation). You cannot change the angle of delivery. You cannot bowl boucer yorker combos. You cannot work on the bowl for half a day until it starts reverse swinging. There are no off cutter slow balls, there are no googlie wronguns there are no flippers or skidders or chinamen. Just full tosses outside off every single fucking ball.

Finally, and this is the clincher, the batsman unironically gets three chances. If you are playing in your back yard against your seven your old niece bowling heat you may just give her a second chance if you get her out first bowl, but otherwise in cricket you make one tiny error your day is over. In baseball, you can fuck up and the umpire is like "lmao take it back you can have two more goes at that."

>being too dumb to understand baseball

Based Aussie promoting cricket.

>baseball
I don't get it. I don't get why anyone watches this shit. I've played baseball for years and it is boring as fuck to watch. Nothing new ever happens. Every situation is scripted. Every single hit is the same. Every situation has the same path and same result.
>basketball
College, yes. NBA, fuck no. NBA is better than baseball but the league is horribly broken. We already know who is going to win the next two years at least.
>rugby
Nit enough commercial breaks
>cricket
>hockey
Literally nobody gives one flying fuck about these cake eater sports. Neither are on TV in America.
>tennis
Surprisingly good if you know what you are watching. Most people just see a ball getting hit back and forth but if you understand the game you can tell how important every single shot is.
>NFL
God tier spectator sport. Would be better if there were more teams like the Packers. Such a rich history and legecy.
>water sports
That a fucking pokemon attack
>soccer
See NBA. Sport is broken. How is it OK to not keep pace and completely ignore the clock? Why the fuck can't they just stop the clock when there is down time or every time those pretty faggots drop to the floor in an absurd performance of excruciating pain?

Cricket, to me, is an epic. It is unlike any other sport. Every single match is like a total battle between two teams, with battles within battles all over it. As Ian Chappell said, cricket is not a team sport, it is an individual sport played in groups. It is the sum of one team versus the sum of the other.
T20 is shit. Sometimes I have to walk around it and be like "eh it's okay" as to not offend people but being brutally honest, it's fucking garbage. It's all luck and power, there's no grace or subtlety or finesse. Cricket is elegant and smooth and skilful. T20 is brash and crude and juvenile. Whenever I watch a T20 I see no slips, no catchers, no interesting tactics. I see a bowler bowling a rank full toss, a batsman slashing aimlessly at it and getting caught. A bad ball, a bad shot - a wicket. It's almost always like that. A good ball in test cricket is beautiful.
To me, cricket is insanely unique and all of the uniqueness in it is in Test cricket and only test cricket. ODIs are this lame middle ground that honestly manage to be even worse than T20s at times. If you want wild swinging for the hills and bowlers deceiving batsmen with pace, watch baseball. Seriously, there is basically no difference between T20 and baseball. You want ""tight finishes"" watch basketball. T20 is an attempt to make cricket like every other sport on the planet and it sucks all of the things that make it unique and beautiful out of it. Imagine if golf made all the holes 2m wide and the courses 3 holes long. Imagine if tennis changed scoring to first to 10 rally wins is the winner. Imagine if rugby removed the penalty goal. Cricket shouldn't be about explosions and cheerleaders, because there are so many other sports that do that stuff so much better. Cricket is about tea and strike rates of 42 and leaving the ball and Alastair Cook and seam positions and how many slips you need and complex fluid dynamics. That's why I like it.

I completely agree. Baseball fucking sucks. But you can get the fuck out of here if you think comparing baseball to cricket is going to convince anyone that cricket isn't a rich boy tea drinking faggot loving disgrace.

shan't be reading any Fatmerican posts tonight lads

dat casual class/homophobia

College pitchers die on the field you fucking faggot.
>can't change angle of pitch or spin the ball, ball is soft
Nigger, you don't even know what baseball is.

> I see no slips, no catchers, no interesting tactics. I see a bowler bowling a rank full toss, a batsman slashing aimlessly at it and getting caught. A bad ball, a bad shot - a wicket. bowlers
deceiving batsmen with pace. Cricket is about tea and strike rates of 42 and leaving the ball and Alastair Cook and seam positions and how many slips you need and complex fluid dynamics.
This is english.

>The first international cricket match wasn't played between the USA and Canada
>Americans didn't unironically love cricket until they realised they were shit at it

I can't remember why they stopped playing actually, but I do know Americans loved it. Then (((they))) did for American sports what they did for the art industry. Killed it with meme trash to make money. That, I do know for certain.

Ok, four'n twenty, take off the rose colored glassses. While Cricket may be popular in your neck off the woods, it doesn't mean shit.

Cricket is the skid mark in the professional sports world - it's just something that "exists" to a vast majority of people. That's why your sport is dying. It's insanely hard to market due to its unattractiveness and you know it. Enjoy your downhill ride. You can't win a argument against Baseball, don't try.

It's more like a challenge.
>try to make the girl cum before you do

Cricket is boring and gay I agree.

Typical Canada. SKREEEEONK

Pakis and Indians aren't people.

why's that

College and European basketball are entertaining.
You're right about NBA.

Yes, "challenge" sounds better. I'd call it a journey myself.
The true challenge is making her cum after I do imo. I always try to make the girl cum first since I cant be arsed to do anything after the orgasm.

Looks fun. I don't understand why the batter isn't running after he hits the ball

Source Wikipedia:
>A fair hit does not force the batter to advance; he can use all three strikes at bat before he becomes a runner. A pitch counts as a strike, if the batter takes a swing at the ball or if the umpire rules the pitch legal.

In this video time 7:19, team needed a homerun to keep batting turn, but they try score one run.

I would gladly watch this over baseball or crumpet

There were a couple of pretty gud games in the last Olympics but even women's volleyball was more entertaining. Women's volleyball was actually really entertaining, but still.

2. Football

5. Warriors win LOL

What exactly is a quality product without parody. Parody is why NFL is king. It's so fucking hard to always be good that when it happens it's amazing to watch. It's why the NBA is terrible. We already know who is going to win next year. Nobody else has a chance

Pretty much all of this is wrong. Fact.

>bradywinslol

Pats are just riding Brady's coattails. Meanwhile GS just bought dynasty because of some bullshit (((cap spike)))

>Setting up "youth academies" for sports like football

Called College. MLB has the minor leagues because you actually need to develope in that sport

How can you possibly enjoy the same three teams winning all the time? They essentially corner the market and only the good players will play for those teams

Well, they currently have the greatest QB in NFL history, the greatest coach in NFL history, the best TE currently and maybe ever... it's a pretty special situation.

>American "sports"
Yup, that's what they are
>get first choice of top youth prospects as reward for finishing last place

Nope.

Pairity creates a quality product for domestic sports leagues
In this respect, Americans are correct

Rugby.

I'm pretty sure he means girl hockey, aka field hockey
That's the kind yuros and sudacas like

Basketball, soccer and football

>Basketball at #1

Baseball is for proud patrician, morally upright samurai nations like America and Japan. It is the ultimate balance of teamwork, individual performance, strategy, specialization, skill, reflexes, and coordination.

Of course gypsy muslim euroslimes wouldn't understand it (but where's the part where one greasy faggot steals the show the entire game and you fake getting hurt?) and obviously Australians can't compete on an international level so they play cricket.

Cricket is basically a dumb and boring version of baseball. The amount of subtlety and tactical and athletic ability on display in baseball makes cricket looks like the shitty joke that it is.

Cricket will NEVER be able to match the tradition and history and folklore of baseball either.

And don't even get me started on attendance and revenue. Baseball attracts 75 million people annually just in the MLB. Further 25 million people attend Japanese baseball and add other millions in caribbean and other nations. On the other hand, if you add up all the cricket attendances worldwide, they would struggle to cross even 10 million ROFLOL.

And oh, MLB is a $9.5 BILLION annual industry! Cricket is not even 1/10th of that LMAO.

All in all, cricket can fuck right off.

Grew out of it, nba belongs in /asp/, euro basket is more professional but it's still a game with rules that seems like written by children and impossible to apply until robots can be referee (Double Dribble, travel etc...)
>Rugby
Good sport but can't get into it. I don't know why.
>Football
Grew out of it, blatant and constant refballing made me cringe too many times, too bad because it is indeed a very entertaining sport.

Boring, too repetitive, even more than baseball.

Seems like a cool sport, but hard to watch on TV. Rugby tier sport. Interesting but can't get into it.
>Water polo
Slow and boring as fuck

Each time I watch a game I wonder why it is not more popular than that, quite repetitive but still way less than tennis of baseball and good meme potential.

Cricket is more of an international sport than memeball. Nearly half the population of the world has a cricket team.
