Quote from: tgirlamg on September 27, 2025, 07:00:12 PMI can see how cricket could have some appeal once you get used to it...

No wonder the British are mad, cucumber sandwich's and five day cricket.

When I hear both of those, I'm heading for the hills literally and figuratively.

Hugs to both of you

Sarah! You haven't heard of The Ashes? It's literally the most famous Test Cricket of all time. Played between England and Australia for not far off 150 years. Has spawned legends on both sides. Most notable of which is the legendary bowler Shane Warne. Even us English folks have to grudgingly acknowledge he was one of the best players alive. May he rest in peace.

I always assumed you Aussies were just as mad about Cricket as we are, lol.

The Ashes isn't just one game lasting five days. It's five games that can last up to five days. Kind of like the World Series in Baseball. Let that sink in! That's a maximum of twenty five days of cricket between two sides. So one mega giant match lol.

My head is still reeling from the tutorial video you posted. I know it is a popular sport, but what in the holy ... ? It's like kids were playing stickball and just kept adding new rules. 😆

How can an ex British subject not know about this game.  To me the ashes is worser than watching paint dry on a wall or reading the phone book.

As far as I'm concerned the whole game can be burnt and the remaining ashes stuffed into a bigger urn.

😄😁😂🤣

Give me one day cricket for five days.

Best Wishes Always

Hey Ashley, I was thinking of you today and the LA Dodgers.  I just bought a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap to wear as they start the National League West series tomorrow against the Toronto Blue Jays.  I was born in Brooklyn in 1955, the year they won the World Series against the NY Yankees.  70 years later:

  GO DODGERS!

I'd love to go to a baseball game, not because I think it would be particularly entertaining, but I'd happily sit and take in the atmosphere with a beer and a hot dog lol

I watched a baseball game once. Back when TV here used to show the world series very early in the morning. I... uh... I kind of fell asleep. I think probably because it didn't start until like 2am but also because, well, nothing happened. The scores are so low! And the commentators are obsessed with historical stats. It's kind of wild.

"Well, Gabe, this is the 15th highest batting average since <insert historical player in historical team> in 1914 and you know he's gotta be feeling the weight of history on his shoulders right now!"

"Absolutely, Trent! This is a big moment for the guy! And let's not forget that guy at first base! He's caught more balls than <insert historical figure> in his 4th game during the 1922 series vs <insert historical team>. We are in the presence of greatness tonight!"

They are extremely enthusiastic about it, lol. And... I mean cricket commentators kind of do that too, because they are both very stat heavy games, but it's very soporific, lol.

No idea who Gabe and Trent are, by the way. Just the most sports commentator names I could come up with, haha.

I hear baseball game hot dogs are supposed to be decent, though.

They must have encyclopedic knowledge of all those stats lol.  I loved the film Moneyball, but before that most of my baseball knowledge came from Charlie Brown 😂

Omg the sound of that teacher is what I hear in my head whenever someone is saying something I don't want to hear, lol. ;D

I wonder if there are pub quizzes in the US?

Hey Mairen! Welcome to the forum sister! 💕

All my life I had viewed baseball as a pretty boring thing to watch but... My baseball loving husband really opened my eyes... once you start watching and getting to know the individual players and have a team to get behind... everything changes!... Football etc is almost anonymous to some degree with helmets etc but in baseball, you see the players faces and what is going on in their head as they move through the game... the drama plays out at a different rate than other sports but, it gets extremely dramatic once you are invested in the players and the outcome! ⚾️😀👍

The first pic I posted in the stadium on the previous page is where we always go to enjoy a Dodgers Dog and beer when we get there... There is a spectacular view of downtown LA from up there too... You can take the girl outta LA but, there will always be some LA in the girl! 😀

That said... GO DODGERS!!!💙

Onward Brave Sisters!

I Love It Brooklin Girl! We will take any and all support you want to throw our way!... It is funny... My Giants fan  (and lifelong Dodger hating) husband would always say "YOUR DODGERS" before I was a baseball fan since I started life in LA... I finally said okay... I will take them!... The Dodgers have come out ahead of the Giants every season since! 💙🤗💙

Onward!
