210 run loss to NZ isn't too shabby really. Maybe one day they will progress to the ranks of the test playing nations?

We've got a cricket team?


When did this happen?


Never seen it on ESPN.

Believe me, it doesn't. Especially if you are a Sydney Swans fan.

AFL is the most chaotic team sport ever invented. It's main claim to fame is as a way to make use of cricket grounds in the winter.

Well I can understand how people can be excited about it if they were exposed to it.
Not my cup of tea though. I couldn't even understand the article as I don't know those terms used. Must be a culture thing.

You've got to hand it to America though, getting involved with a game like Cricket. I hope they might field a Test team sometime - maybe in the next 5 years? Their next game is against Australia!!! I think they may well lose by more than 210 runs.  If they bat first, they might even lose by something like 8 wickets. All part of the improvement process - like dying in AH! :aok

Americans love statistics in their sports right? Cricket seems like a good match...

Hmm, they were playing a game?  I thought they were chasing down fishbait.

I thought we had a side on when the batsman flopped the nipper to the outer field side. But then the Bowler googlied the sticks all over the test. :aok
