Cricket to be brought to the USA

For (slightly) serious discussion of things involving balls and a lot of effort (that aren't sex!)

Fuck!

We're already stuck with baseball, don't we suffer enough? Why do we need another mind-numbingly boring "sport"?

Cricket =

Man standing with bat.

Man pottering about rubbing ball on his thigh for two minutes.

Man runs fast at man with bat.

Man does big gay spider impression and throws ball.

Man with bat moves an inch.

Ball might have touched bat; might not have touched bat.

Gigantic screams and yells.

Man in white coat may raise finger; or not.

Repeat for five days.

:yawn:

Utter silence.

No movement anywhere.

Complete darkness.

Sudden sound.

"What's that?'

"Cricket."

:hehe: Dev knows way more about it than I do.

Here's my version.

Sitting in pub.

Odd glance over the shoulder of my mate(s) spot some guys dressed in white slacks and cardigans prancing around on the TV in the background.

Every now and then some gentle and polite clapping interspersed with non-invading yelps are heard.

Turn back to pint with complete disinterest.

That's the one and only fascinating thing about cricket.

It's myriad ways of boring the arse off humanity.
