[allwhites088]

I'll pwn you guys at Cricket.

[xyz638]

baseball is just a dumbed down version of cricket!

[AFFTL]

To Americans cricket is just the most alein thing of all time. For some strange reason they can't understand it. Its Strange.

[Qazi4000]

Please could Revive go to my school ( La quinta high School)

[arensaini1]

can u teach cricket at my school??? please. I really want to play cricket in my school.

[kemoblue4u]

@Sibs1990 Didnt mention it because i dont care for it besides most athletes in rugby make McDonalds wages and no rugby team cracks the top 50 teams! I was comparing the NYY to Cricket. 7 of the top 10 most valuable sports franchises in the world are American(six of them american football) and whats even funnier is the English arent the best in ANY of their sports. One worldcup? lol powerhouse my ass. LOL you lost the argument the second you mentioned TABLE Tennis and Badminton. Goodbye now

[kemoblue4u]

@Sibs1990 LMFAOOOO!!! Badminton(played by girls during PE class)? Table Tennis(gee what a "sport")? Boring ass golf? Water polo? Gee wilikers you really shut me up with those examples. You should have just ended it at cricket. I could swear hockey was invented in Canada. "British sports are far better than American games" Yeah im sure thats why the New York Yankees are worth 1.7 Billion, you cant even name ONE cricket team that cracks the $100 million mark much less Billion.

[bcharville]

I am American and I enjoy pretty much all sports. If I find one I don't like, I still respect it.

[nllwwi]

LOL WTF is cricket, everyone knows about the big leagues. everyone knows who babe ruth is and everyone knows about the most famous sports team in history of all sports the new york yankees of MLB!!!

[tarcolt333]

@nllwwi Clearly you haven't heard of Don Bradman, the most outstanding sportsman in history, look him up. secondly WTF is the big leagues, your baseball tournament. As for the new york Yankees and Major league baseball, that's just an inter-state comp, Cricket is international.

[kemoblue4u]

@tarcolt333 Why the hell are you comparing MLB series to the cricket world cup? Whats next? youre going to compare the olympics to the english premiere league championship? Stupid comparison but here you go, 68 million people watch the cricket world cup finals, while 56 million watched the MLB final series. lol only 12 million less for an "inter state comp" as you say.

[indiajag1]

@nllwwi only americans dont know abt it....cricket is the second most team sport in the world!!! 100 member nations play cricket......

[Aheadstix85]

@nllwwi Fuck off yank!, Cricket is twice the size of baseball!, bigger than baseball will ever be!, and yes everyone knows who babe ruth is because in 1935 our DON came to new york and hit 3 home runs off his bat, he then walked off and said "pfft!, this is to easy!, and one can hit full toss!", The don trained himself with a cricket stump against a wall, thats why he was so good, babe ruth could never do that!, and our cricket world cup is called a world cup, because its played world wide!.

[Aheadstix85]

You americans really dont have a fucking clue do you??, the sport of cricket is a game of thinking, deception, and ruthlessness, we dont just have curve ball and fat ball, we have over 100 variations of just 2 bowling techinques, 100!!!, there is fast bowling, spin bowling, medium pace, quick pace, etc, spin bowling is an art form, mastered by the greatest, our own, Shane warne, and we dont care where you come from in america, your still a yank, it has nothing to do with south or north.

[Aheadstix85]

Hahah!, thats bullshit!, its been the most popular sport on earth secondly to football, for over 200 years, the first documented game of cricket was made over 100 years before before your country was even settled!, cricket is played by over 120 countrys, as appose to baseball which is about 3, and you yanks still reckon baseball is that good??, hahaha, the numbers disagree with you, cricket is a smart thinking game, a far cry from that overrated slog-athon you call "sport".

[nllwwi]

@Aheadstix85 hey MATE try to hit a baseball n u will see how much harder it is than cricket. anyone can play cricket its easy shit. baseball hitting is a science similar to golf in that true study and natural ability is required at the highest level in the usa, u tell me, would u rather be earning the big bucks in baseball or the much lower amount in cricket.

[indiajag1]

@nllwwi all u try to do in baseball is try to hit the ball as far as u can...but if u try to do that u will be out ina few balls...i bet major league hitters can't even play spinners who only bowl like 50 mph..they would be out in a few balls....and dont play for money in cricket...u play for ur country.....and in IPL league the highest paid player gets 2.4 million us dollars for playing abt 30 games which is very good

[Aheadstix85]

@indiajag1 Shane warne is the highest paid sporting man on earth!, hes aus's best ever spinner!.

[indiajag1]

@Aheadstix85 i know but these amricans think their freakin sports are the best...i know this bcuz i live here

[Aheadstix85]

@nllwwi It is not harder to hit something comming straight at you, you just have to guess where its gonna be, you can't get away writh that in cricket, once a cricket ball hits the pitch, it goes anywhere!, try hitting a ball you have no idea where is going, even harder if it has swing or reverse swing, there are over 20 variations of one bowling style in cricket, how about baseball?.

[kemoblue4u]

@Aheadstix85 You're clearly ignorant to baseball.

1.The cricket bat is MUCH larger than a baseball bat

2.There are well over 30 different types of pitches.(do some research for a change)

3.How many cricketers can hit a 97mph ball with a smaller bat? (not many)

4.Sharnne Warne is the highest paid sporting man? LMFAO! are you joking his last contract was the highest cricket contract ever at $400,000US. Alex Rodriguez(baseball) makes 30 MillionUS a year

5.Baseball players make more!! HAHAHA

[kemoblue4u]

@Aheadstix85 LOL second most popular sport? Count how many people watched the cricket world cup vs the rugby world cup or even the super bowl for that matter. 68 million watched the cricket world cup final world wide vs 220 million watching the super bowl WORLDWIDE. HAHAHAHA!! Go play your poor stupid cricket.

[AFFTL]

@kemoblue4u No one gives a fuck about America Football, its the worst sport in the World. And nearly all of the 220 million would have been Americans. The world thinks American Football is shit.

It only has 67 million because in lot of countries the game was on at about 2 AM. The Semi Final had over a Billion people watching. Plus who cares about many people watched it. Gridiron is only played in America, while Cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world.

[kemoblue4u]

@AFFTLits ony second ost popular thanks to India with a population over a billion. Remove Inda from the equation and basketball becomes second most popular. The nly reason people like this shit is thanks to British imperialism, 95% of the countries that play this sport are former British colonies.

[AFFTL]

@kemoblue4u Basketball is way down the order, Field Hockey is 3rd, it wouldn't become 2nd. You know nothing about Cricket. Baseball is a good sport, but its way better than Baseball.

Its high scoring, teams make scores 500,600 per innings. Players make scores of 200,300, the recored high score by a player is ''400'' Run's. You can Bowl the ball at the Batsmen, where in Baseball you can't. You can get seriously hurt playing Cricket. You have to catch the ball with out using a Glove.

[AFFTL]

@kemoblue4u A lot of Americans seem to not like any British sports, like Soccer. I don't like Soccer either. But Cricket is different. Cricket is high scoring, action packed, hard, exciting sport.

[kemoblue4u]

@AFFTL LOL My mother and father are from Guyana (formerly known as BRITISH Guiana). My father dragged me to his cricket matches when I was little. i know a good amount about cricket as boring as it is TO ME. Again its only popular because Britain ruled half to world and imposed its customs on the natives.

[AFFTL]

@kemoblue4u And, Guyana is shit at Cricket, there not a Test nation, it would of been shit Cricket. Its way better & more high scoring & exciting than Baseball. Scores of 500, 600 per innings, compared to scores of like 20 to 15, Players making 200, 300 compared to Baseball scores 8 run's an innings. You can Bowl at that Batsmen unlike Baseball. & you don't use Gloves, with a much Harder ball. Longer Boundaries.

Its a higher scoring, more action packed sport.

[kemoblue4u]

@AFFTL LOL i dont give a fuck if theyre shit at it. i dont even like the sport.

[AFFTL]

@kemoblue4u The point is u weren't watching good Cricket, so you have a bad reference to off. You don't like, that's ur opinion fine. I'm saying Cricket is a great sport. Its a high scoring, exciting sport as I pointed out. & Baseball is a good sport, but its a higher scoring more exciting sport.

[Aheadstix85]

Its a joke mate!, get a sense of humour!, you cant be an aussie, if you where you'd lighten the fuck up!.

[downloadstuffgames]

@Aheadstix85 we spell humour "humor" here in the states, the language surly degraded lol but tht gay sport cricket really made a turn for the better evolving into baseball

[Aheadstix85]

Yanks?, poms?, insults?, you obviously know nothing about Australian slang, and our political incorrectness, pom is no insult, neither is yanks, thats just what we call em, i know brits that call themselfs poms, and yank is just what we call americans in general, stop taking things so serious.

[Aheadstix85]

hey folks!, a lil bit of knowldge here, back in the 1930's the aussie team led by Bradman was touring canada, they where invited to see a baseball match, in NY, bradman was introduced to Babe ruth, he said take a whack, so brad man did, to ruths amazement he hit 3 homeruns, before walking off the pitch dissapointed and said "this is to easy!, anyone can hit full toss!, im getting a beer!". well actually i added the beer bit, but i bet the DON would have said that.

[daguillera]

long live cricket!!!!!.. world beware!!!! where coming for our right places as kings of d cricket world!!!!!!!! GO W.I

[downloadstuffgames]

this is a gay version of baseball

[Aheadstix85]

@downloadstuffgames Pffft!, stupid yankee!, baseball is just a dumbed down version of cricket!, the whole world know that, but you. the first documented game of cricket was in the 16th century, american was not even dicovered till around 1620, cricket is no "new game", it exists all around you, you yanks just have chosen to ignore the world, its played by over 120 countrys, baseball is around 3 countrys, do the math yank!.

[downloadstuffgames]

@Aheadstix85 k dude but u have to admit that cricket is not much of a sport... u need skill in baseball its not just u hit a homerun u get a point or 3 strikes ur out, im just saying that baseball is much more of a challenge than most think it is. why ru callin me a yank bro ?lol if u mean the team by all means call me a yank :) but if u r referring to my nationality, i think that war ended a couple centuries ago dude

[tarcolt333]

@downloadstuffgames The whole world calles you yanks, its just what we call you. and are you serious saying baseball is more of a challenge? Batting in Cricket is just as fast, 360 degrees, you have to judge bounce as well as pace and swing(curve), the balls harder and so is the concentration. Adding to all that a match can go for 5 days, watch a baseball match for 5 days it gets very boring, cricket... well, we have been playing 5 days for about 200 years, so obviously its not that boring...

[Aheadstix85]

@tarcolt333 Stop trying mate!, the yanks will never take to cricket, because they hate games that make you think.

[Aheadstix85]

What?!?!, when did this happen!, i have never heard of you yanks defeating us or the poms ever!.

[Aheadstix85]

Pfff!, your an american right?, what the hell would you know about the Gentlemans game!?, its a far cry from that un civilised slog-athon of baseball you call a sport!, its just a cheap rip off of the greatest sport ever!. Cricket involves skill, stamina, mind games, and sheer determination!, and thats just the bowlers!, oh, and dont forget cunningness!.

[joels344]

I'm an American that loves cricket and I also play some as well for fun. I even taught my friends how to play cricket, but they still hold the bat like a baseball bat.

[Ralex004]

lol,im english and play a bit of baseball and cricket and when i was bowling 2day i accidentally did more of a pitch than a bowl,had 2 learn the basics all over again

[joels344]

@Ralex004 Haha, that's really great. I play both. I'm better at baseball, but sometimes my pitches will look more like full toss bowls. It takes some time to adjust to either sport. I love them both, though.

[Bendosh]

The funniest thing is the only people who play American sports is America and Japan :P cricket is played by hundreads of countries and so is rugby.

[SuperSangfroid]

In the slow-motion you can hear someone say " i hate this Rich".

[Aheadstix85]

Still, americans playing cricket??, what a joke, oh, well its repacing baseball in the next Olympic games, so they have to know it, hahaha, good luck, you'll need it.

[lordpenut1]

i like to think that if an american came on here and watched this and slaged off cricket England and america not to metntion all the oothercricketing nations off the world ywould se aside there differences and take them to the cleaners.

[Aheadstix85]

CRICKET RULES!!!!!!!, go AUSSIES!!!!!.

[copyvio]

Funny how Oz is plummeting in the standings lately

[Aheadstix85]

@copyvio Its called being out of form mate, and we have lost our masters to retirement, like Warnie, Gilly, langer, hados, etc, so i say duuuh!, really?, if your a pom i'll just say you guys have been shit in your standards for 24 years!, whats your excuse?.

and we are still favourited for winning the world cup.

[Aheadstix85]

Americans and cricket?, now i've heard everything!, remember yanks, theres no bases just two wickets that you run between. ok?.

[HengistTheGreat]

And don't drop the bat!

[copyvio]

Ha ha, watch the U.S. knock out India like those other "minnows" did last World Cup

[Aheadstix85]

@copyvio The americans beat India in cricket???, no way, theres no chance the yanks are that good.

[copyvio]

@Aheadstix85 @wufolife Well, you wouldn't have thought Bangladesh was that good, either... 'til 2007, would you?

[wufolife]

@copyvio U.S beat india? in a world cup?!! when the hell was this.

[bouwej]

@copyvio your a moron

[Aheadstix85]

teaching yanks cricket is like teaching a duck to swim on concrete!!, haha.

[VaderNES]

@Aheadstix85 Americans used to play cricket. The Philadelphia Cricket Team, in fact, was a first class team as late as the 1910s. They even beat British and Australian teams.

All they need is interest.

[VaderNES]

@Aheadstix85 And don't use the term "yank". That isn't polite, especially when you are talking about the ultimate gentleman's game. If you are going to talk about cricket, be a gentleman, not a wanker.

[Aheadstix85]

@VaderNES Piss off!, theres my politeness!.

[VaderNES]

@Aheadstix85 You are a disgrace to cricket. You are not even worthy of stepping on a cricket pitch.

Really, Cricket is the ultimate gentleman's game, and you tell someone to piss off?

[VaderNES]

@Aheadstix85 Really? In the comments section of a video about cricket, the ultimate gentleman's game, you tell me to piss off, and you use such disgraceful insults as "yanks" and "poms"? Seriously?

Why don't you go play a hooligan sport like association football?

[sandeepcoepcivil]

haha thats gd

[wtfomgrofllol319]

haha, you guys were awesome at clc in missoula
