Short? baseball takes at least 500 000 000hrs per innings and nothing happens in it, and the amount of ads and social justice stuff that happens in NFL as an international viewer takes for ever!!!!!! Hence why I do not watch NFL any more. But I agree with you on T20 cricket, that basically is the opposite of what cricket is. It is no TEST, all you do is go out there and try to hit a six, where as test match cricket is a TEST of your concentration and skill.

Cricket is my life. I am from India in India their are only two religions one is movies and the second one is cricket.sachin God of cricket.he is from india

[@daguillera]

bwahhahahahah lmao no my friend sachin was good but he was no brian lara, so come again , maybe he was the god of indian cricket

[@SunilSharma-jj1ch]

+jahruze what was Lara's batting average...either test or odi ??

[@daguillera]

you do realize that brian has the world record in cricket for test and first class, he was the way ahead of sachin in test runs, yet sachin took more test to get or even pass brian lara mark, also the only good sachin was good in was odi, lara never took it serious cause his ultimate domain was Test, when u can prove to me how much time sachin saved india in test or led the charge being the only world class batsman in the team and still being competitive then we will talk......u all are so fooled by sachin

You are from India?? then you know how to cheat. Its what the subcontient does best. Stats for people pinged for cheating do not lie. Nor does the fact that the entire subcontient of asia is corrupt as fuck. (There is an International meter of corruption. The Subcontinet is very high on it. Australia... very very low).)

How's the club going now??

[@lazylion4333]

The kids playing cricket at school need to get the concept of swinging the bat at the ball and also throwing the bowl while bowling. It will take time but it will catch on if they kept pushing the sport.

I think icc should do more, they should invest more in these countries, build stadiums, host internatinal leagues like t20 world cup, it would take time but its the way ahead

[@solidcricket]

Honestly it will take time... but we need to keep doing it to promote the game

To know that US and Canada played the first ever international game of cricket, and the irony that the game's struggling to make it's place as a regular sport in those two countries.

[@GallifreyanGunner]

In Canada, cricket is poised to break out in a big way. The influx of South Asian and West Indian immigrants in the last few decades - particularly in the large urban centres like the Greater Toronto Area has seen the sport really take off. On any given summer weekend in Toronto, for example, you can watch matches played at pitches all over the city.

[@fahadsab1529]

im form pakistab & im passionate about cricket

[@rahulsalve1001]

we don't like cricket ,I don't like baseball

[@doesnotexist305]

Cricket has no chance in the US. Baseball is king here. Soccer is quickly becoming a thing here, though.

[@doesnotexist305]

Joshua Chamberlain compared to European leagues yeah. But it's only been around since 93. Give it time and watch. Besides, more kids in the US play soccer at the moment than any other sport. Like it or not, white boy, it's the future.

[@doesnotexist305]

Joshua Chamberlain bro. I love baseball. I'm Cuban and baseball is in my blood. But you're not going to sit there and tell me that a 1-0 baseball game that lasts 4 hours is more exciting than a 1-0 soccer game that lasts AT MOST an hour and a half.

[@doesnotexist305]

Joshua Chamberlain baseball games are way longer than 2 and half hours, friend. And what's so exciting about watching grown men throw and hit a ball with a bat? When you break down sports like that they all sound lame.

[@doesnotexist305]

Joshua Chamberlain I'm a big boxing fan as well. Let me make a basketball analogy. You know how intense it is during a playoff game in the NBA and the two teams are tied with 5 minutes to go? The euphoria of a big game winning shot in front of the home fans? Soccer is like that the entire game. The excitement that you feel when your team is about to score and the way that you feel your soul leave your body for a split second when the other team is about to score. And there are no commercial breaks during the action. Only during the 15 minute half time. Its 2 45 minutes halfs of uninterrupted intensity. It's like the anticipation that you feel when a fighter lands a big punch and he goes for the kill. And the atmosphere is unequaled. It's college football on steroids.

[@saurabhvimal1008]

Soccer? Or football

A t20 series btw India and Pakistan in Florida will be good financially and a good marketing for the sport if locally televised as well.

[@amarpatne5794]

When Americans start to play cricket this will become no1 sport in the world

[@neerajchoudhary3709]

I agree

[@arturobustinza6265]

You forget that soccer is already ahead and already has good achievements in the United States such as regional championships for clubs and national teams, as well as constant qualifications for the World Cups and the birth of stars with high value in the European market, in addition to the fact that that USA clubs (MLS) already have major American sponsors ⚽⚽⚽
