Your four-post novel length rebuttal epitomizes exactly what is wrong with soccer, cricket, English television and the Brits in general: it takes for fucking ever and you STILL never get to the point. It's just endless bla bla bla and nothing, ever, happens. OF COURSE it's popular in East Bumfuckistan, have you SEEN those countries? They think goat-tripping is quality entertainment.
Americans require a little more stimulation in our sports than some genteel twats running around aimlessly or a bunch of nobodies whacking a ball with a ceiling fan blade, who have names nobody can pronounce and who make so little that they'll probably be answering our telephone service calls tomorrow and pretending their names are "Dave". Elite athletes get paid. Period. Your Becks wanted to get paid kicking a ball. Know what he did? He came to fucking America. Unfortunately for him, he discovered the only reason we put shit like cricket and soccer on TV at all is because people like naps and there are only so many infomercials one can slot into 4am cable TV. It was either cricket or reruns of poker. And guess which gets higher ratings? That's right...fat guys playing cards is more entertaining than cricket.
That's gotta suck for you...
If cricket is the game any slob can play then baseball is the game any fat yank who can swing a bat can play. I have aleady conclusively proven cricket is a more physically and tactically demanding game than baseball, just because baseball is a national institution in america and has multi millions of dollars thrown at it does not make it a better game. Only in the eyes of tunnel visioned yanks like you who can't see anything beyond their own national culture.
Cricket batsmen are cultured, intelligent, graceful technicians baseball sluggers are barrel chested puerto ricans on steroids. Why do these “elite” baseball players need a big retarded novelty glove to catch the ball anyway? Cricketers manage to catch a ball heavier than a baseball with their bare hands no big ass glove required.
Bumfuckistan? You xenophobic tit most cricketers from the middle east and asia are intelligent multi lingual athletes unlike the braindead cretins in major league baseball who can barely speak english.
Old golden balls Beckham went to America in the twilight of his football career because he knew the yanks would pay him millions even though the best days of his footballing career were way behind him. And you yanks sucked the posh and becks sideshow down faster than ice cold root beer!
In conclusion
Cricket = cultured skillful game played by intelligent technicians.
Baseball = uncultured game based on a game invented for schoolgirls played by puerto rican sluggers and men with novelty gloves to “help” them catch the ball.
