Bobby Simpson talks about various aspects of modern day cricket.
"haven’t heard of any player with a physical deformity being allowed to play in any other sport. So why cricket? And how can the same players who can’t straighten their arms throw the ball from the boundary, which is miles away, into the wicketkeeper’s gloves with a thud?"
"Even javelin throwers and baseball pitchers straighten their arms. And now we have the javelin bowlers."
Ha ha! He said it like it should have been said.
I didn't think you were allowed into the USA if you like cricket. Makes a nice change to hear someone talking about a proper sport for a change, I must say - all I get at work is the bloody World Cup.
Are they making you watch baseball? ;-)
Not really! However, I stick out like a sore thumb when the discussion rages on about baseball - have tried to watch it 3-4 times, but I haven't quite figured it out. Still worse is rugby ("American Football", rather :-) and the classification of "World Series" when all the teams are from US!
Oh well, every sport has pros and cons. For me, elegance in the game is part of the fun. So far I've not seen opportunities for elegance with baseball and rugby; compared to cricket, tennis, badminton and football (soccer).
