Nobody knows how cricket works. They swing about for hours until boredom sets in, pretty sure.
Thats cool though.
Was never a huge athlete or sports fan, but played some here and there, always respected them. Sports at any level, if you're trying to get better and playing a well matched opponent, is the best way to get into "flow state" there is imo
You are correct. In cricket, one side hits the ball until they get bored, and then the other side does the same, and whoever is least bored by the end of their turn wins
Makes sense to me
What makes less sense is that I've heard sumo cricket is a type of cricket bat, not a different game
Was not aware of that.
Sumo is another odd sport. One think I'd dig if I understood it better. Apparently there's a pasty rising star from Ukraine taking it by storm
Do they get a lot of chances to practice their sumo wrestling in Ukraine? 🤔
Funnily enough, I've had baseball explained to me on more than one occasion but I'm still like, nope🤷🏻♂️.
Yeah a large baseball and cricket fanbase never seem to coexist in the same country from what I’ve noticed, but all in all they seem very similar.
It’s nothing too crazy hard I didn’t think. But American Football… now there’s some nonsense rules and they are constantly updating them too. I don’t even try.
Baseball players always seem like the least athletic people just standing around chewing gum, wearing jewelry, but fuck man can they throw and jump high when the time comes. And pitching a baseball professionally is some crazy stuff to see in slow-mo.
Don’t like watching it most of the time except seeing someone grow increasingly nervous when pitching a perfect game: that’s the most beautiful, nerve racking thing in baseball.
