It is impressive that they were able to raise all that money...I don't know much about the game of Cricket except it's British, but if I'm ever in England I'll be sure to catch a match!

The game of cricket, you shmucks, IE, the sport of gentlemen?

Truth be told, throwing a baseball is way different then bowling a cricket ball (considering the pitcher can bend his elbow, and the bowler in cricket can't, (has to keep a straight arm through the delivery). Combine that with the running start, the fact that you can throw at the batter and that the ballcan have such spin to change the direction 20+ degrees when it hits the ground..

hitting in cricket is a LOT harder. Never mind the fact that one bad swing, and 10% of your team's offense is done

Meh- I have hopes occasionaly. Point taken.

Cricket is absolutely amazing- along with baseball, its the number one sport in view.
