Cricket....hmmmm.... yes, I still don't get that game.

Yes, it COULD be more accessible, to be sure. Still, great game.

I'm a baseball man myself.

Not really a UK thing, of course...

I know, but still... lots of fun.

Baseball reminds me too much of Rounders...never liked it.

Rounders?

I doubt if people out of the UK have heard of Rounders, which is AMAZINGLY similar to baseball but they still can't find a link.

Ah.... 😕

Well, I like baseball. It's fast, strategic and dynamic.

The only difference I've noticed about Rounders and Baseball is that you hold the bat with one hand in Rounders....plus (in our school anyway) only girls tended to play it.

Isn't a rounders bat about half the size of a baseball bat?

Not to offend you Brits but cricket is the most boring thing I know besides Equestrian.(Horse jumping). Cricket seems like you watch it while on a picnic.
Baseball can be fun but also very boring.
American football is cool, played it while I lived in Arkansas. You better be fast or else you eat dirt.

I don't remember baseball being boring. Not if it's played well.

I like basketball. 😄

Naturally assuming that all brits watch show jumping and cricket huh? Personally I can't abide either of those sports. Infact, the only sports I do like to watch are Formula One Motor Racing and Athletics.

What's this excitement with Formula One. It's pretty hot here too. I just see these cars driving the same circles for a couple of hours and that's supposed to be exiting.

it's the whoop it up big machines stuff, queeq. big guy toys. 😮‍💨

Now baseball games are the ultimate excuse for getting pished. The games last sooo long and people walk around offering you beer and hotdogs. Aahhh, my idea of heaven on earth. 😎

Cricket is a big sport in Britain right, I know not all Brits enjoj it but it is a big thing over there. You probably think cross country skiing sucks, we find it a little bit exciting. Personally; I hate winter sports, all of them.
