People should never compare Cricket to baseball.
Aside from being bat and ball they are very different sports.

It's baseball, but instead of strong athletic Cubans/Dominicans, it's weak spindly Pakistanis and poo in loos.

They are more similar than Rugby and Handegg yet people love to compare those two.

I'd like to see more guides like this for other sports.

rugby is also handegg

ball even looks more egglike than a gridiron handegg

All you need to know is a match can last for 5 days and end in a draw

>>66340884
Is the umpire forced by any rule to wear a hat?

>>66341319

Handegg and baseball are like the ugly American children of rugby and griget

>>66341516
I'm not sure if it's mandated (probably is) but it seems like a logical tradition that sprung from having to stand all day in the sun. Some fielders will also wear hats (optional for them) as well as shades/sunblock.

When we were in school we called rugby 'egg chasing'.

Now all my mates are on the rugby bandwagon and go all the Leinster and Ireland games. I still think it's a stupid egg chasing sport.

>>66341687
rugby's cool, but hurling is truly the most based sport and I'm surprised no one ever posts about it
>>
>>66340654
This is a bit old but very good place to start, Ameribro. It's mostly about confidence really.

Not outside of England it isn't. It's the number 1 sport in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh kek

There is alot of money but thats more to do with India's sheer numbers rather than a rich fan base like F1.
