    I don't know. The name REALLY does not follow the sport. Might as well reverse the 2 names as calling soccer football actually makes a bit of damn sense while the name soccer makes no sense at all so giving it to football really wouldn't make a bit of difference.

    Well I thought it was a well written piece of satire. I like to read things like that in the supplements because it breaks up the hard news. Papers would be pretty boring otherwise.

    It's definitely not meant as an attack on American's, definitely not. It's an attack on cricket and its class based history. It just so happens that America provides the perfect backdrop to express this most interestingly.

    I can't help it....the word "wronger", isn't it an Australian term that is used to describe a left handed bowler doing something funky with the ball...I think so. Further proof that this is a satire.

    The only thing I know about cricket is that Rapheal made fun of it in the first Ninja Turtle movie. Being the average stereotypical American I am, I prefer baseball if any choice at all is required.

    No offecne to baseball fans, but IMO cricket requires more skill than baseball.

    Cricket > Baseball

    Americans should play more cricket, it's so much more interesting than borebaseball. Though I'm not really a fan of either that much but I watch cricket on TV the odd time when it's on Channel 4.

    I wish you guys would just shut up. People talk about all these differences in the games, but as far as I can see the point is exactly the same. Hit the freakin' ball.

    OMG SO DIFFERENT WE ARE CAN WE EVER BE FRIENDS?!

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I started playing a game of cricket when I was 12, and when I finished I was 56 and the kids had left home.
