Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket

spin rate is a pretty gay stat, but the point is the curve itself. if you think baseball is just swinging at straight pitches, you are retarded.

your webm just proved my point. just someone throwing it hard and someone swinging. it's always the same.

the rules are fairly simple though?

>First rule of cricket, never call the bat narrow
>What the bat is, is very very wide and very very short

>your webm just proved my point
are you genuinely simple? you don't see a difference between that curve and a fastball like this?

there's just way more variety in what you can do in cricket for both bowlers and batters. in baseball you can throw a curveball or a fastball, in cricket there's like 20+ different types of bowl. baseball just seems very 1 dimensional.

>in baseball you can throw a curveball or a fastball
right, those are the only two pitches. and there's no variation in fastball or curve types, none at all. again, why don't you stick to sports that you aren't completely clueless about? it'd be less embarrassing.

and there's variation within the different types of bowls you can play too. there's just way more variety in general. as i said, baseball is extremely one dimensional, that's not to say it doesn't take skill though.

like I sad, you just don't really understand anything about baseball. which is fine, i know fuck all about cricket. but saying it's one dimensional is just beyond casual.

i'm in the US. and i watch both.

T20 cricket is superior in everyway.

Test is the most boring, drawn out shit i've ever had to witness. never again.

Cricket isn't a sport, it's a pastime at best

Brazilians would be fat too if they were given the chance at a luxury of food choices

Cricket isn't a sport, it's a religion and I'm a devotee

>ball one

Baseball is fun

i'll never call golf a dull game again

sweet. you try and win at cricket, imma try and win at christianity, the one true religion.

i already have the high score in my area.

Baseball/rounders is our game for children, before they start playing cricket

funny, as this is literally what soccer is in the United States

Stage one: denial.

it's okay if you don't understand baseball, it's pretty complex.

almost every cricket bowl goes off the ground, baseball you have to deal with shit like this or with pitches going consistently over 160km/h

agreed, test is shit

I'm not even a baseball fan and should you literally stop talking.

Why is american banter always so lame ?Are you all 15 years old on here ?

based huebro

>throws it fast
>swings
wow you really proved him wrong

don't batters face like three deliveries before they run?
in cricket you might face about 50-100 or much more if you're good, all the time trying to deal with subtle variations in the way they're bowled. that's the point he's trying to make

Baseball is literally a derivative of a sport that was a derivative of cricket.

Why are people from the UK such faggots?

I don;t think cricket fags understand that how much of an advantage runners would have fielders didn't have a glove. It cuts the lag needed to get a runner out.

yanks on the defensive

Color me surprised

What the fuck, is this a joke? You got to knock shit off sticks?

Baseball
>National pasttime of the most culturally significant nation on earth, the United States as well as Japan
Cricket
>uhhhh, well developing countries and Britain and its former colonies play it, only gets shilled as "popular" because there's a lot of people in one of these poor countries
Baseball's better and it's not even close. Cricketers barely even look like athletes at all.

You're trying too hard, you need to be more subtle if you want anyone to bite

so take off the gloves retard

aren’t most of the countries that play basic ball third world shitholes too?

yikes, stop posting
