Could America take to cricket?

Jiminy Cricket, yes.

The Sport? No.
 
The first line of the article says it all:

"There are plenty of English people who find it hard to understand the joy of cricket."

So if the Limeys don't even like it...don't expect us to.

:cool:
 
Umm... How about a nice game of pocket pool?
 
They might adjust to the Twenty/20 form of the game, don't like the prospect of them being able to sit through 5 days of a test match etc. It took me awhile to adjust.... and cricket is meant to be in my blood :tongue:

I feel the same way with some sports that are foreign to me, such as gridiron (ducks the flying piano being thrown at my direction :D). I generally don't watch many games, as i find them to be too long to sit through. I make exceptions to certain rivalry games, or the big super bowl (i love playing Madden NFL video games though!!).

It's good to be the king...
About as much Chance as the Uk taking to Baseball...:D
 

Ace Bandage

The one and only.
If they completely changed the rules and made it exciting, then yes, I think we could get behind it. As it is now, hell no! I'd rather staple my head to the carpet than watch Cricket...
