Cricket >>> Baseball...

I hate the way all American Sports have to be stopped every other second...

A rugby player plays 80 minutes (with a break at half time)...The game is continuous, and only stops for penalties...

That's how I like my sports...

I only watch the last quarters of NFL, NBA and NHL, because that's the only time the game matters...

I still never made it through an entire baseball game....tried a couple times but damn. Hell I even watched entire golf rounds before (major final rounds). But baseball is on a whole nother dimension of boring

im no baseball fan but the action in the NBA and NHL is not made boring because of stoppages. They are fast paced sports, unlike baseball where they are purposefully dragging out moments at times. Theres no way you could play non stop hockey for 60 mins :heh: people would be collapsing on the ice. And technically those two sports are only stopped for rule infractions just like your rugby so...yeah

Where many murders occur
Cricket >>> Baseball...

:what: :pacspit: at cricket. That's the unevolved form of baseball. And it's :scusthov: status with all those Pakistanis and Indians swarming around it like a bunch of insects.

I fukked with it before on youtube just to see what the fuss was about. It is shyt. They had a baseballer and a cricketer (kwik e mart employee) compete in each other's sports. The baseballer did an ok job hitting cricket pitches. Apu looked like a retard trying to hit weak fastballs and breaking balls. Cricketers are not athletes.

I know its not gonna be MLS of the 90s but I think the rise of soccers popularity may hurt it a little bit..and i dont think as many young kids can sit still long enough to really love baseball like that..its mostly kids whos fathers put them in little league and made them stick it out through high school now :manny: lol

C'mon, breh. How's that any worse than the last 2 minutes of an NBA game being stretched out to 15 minutes?

Sh*t is awful.

I look at the score overlay and see each team has 3-4 time outs with less than 2 mins. :beli:

It's better not knowing how many to's they have.

Cricket >>>>>>> Baseball....

Cricket has way too much "swag" than baseball...There are numerous ways a batsman can hit the ball...

In baseball, dudes are just trying to hit as hard as they can...

I really don't care about that "hitting a baseball is the hardest thing in sports" argument...

Golf is also hard, but it's still slow and boring...Just like baseball...
