If you start from a place of 0 knowledge of both, Cricket is a lot easier to understand. Baseball is better, though.

Original football was the best. Get a ball over a line however. No other rules. Than management came in and made a whole bunch of pointless rules and dress codes and other nonsense making a fun relaxing time for all into work! Then they got people to pay to watch them!!!!

You may as well just go into any random office and stare at the cubical slaves!!!

They have a club with daily matches in Victoria BC. It comes across as kind of a bougie which doesn't help with the hockey crowd, especially with boomer canucks.

Cricket is pretty huge dude. Nearly every sizable park in Ontario has a cricket pitch. Most people play games in the early morning ~6am so you never see them.
The reason it's not bigger is because to have a league you need opponents and it's extremely expensive to fly a whole team around all the time.

You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.


The woman upset about the "wrong" medication used for her cold is one of those idiots that believes over-the-counter medicine actually treats diseases instead of symptoms. Her poor husband.

I think I would say it's not huge but still slowly getting bigger (huh, why does saying that give me deja vu).

There was a pretty big Indian population in my apartment complex in Louisiana and they would take the tennis court net down and play cricket there.

Cricket seems much more incomprehensible, but that's probably just because it's had almost no cultural impact outside of the core area where it's played, unlike baseball.

I read the BBC news site sometimes, occasionally there'll be an article about cricket, and half the words read like they were made up on the spot

It's mostly incomprehensible because of the names. But mostly it's player positions and those are just where in the pitch you're standing. Short - Mid - Deep are you close to the batsman or not. Leg side is the left of the batsman because of how he stands. So square leg is left side of the pitch inline with the batsman,square is a reasonably common sporting term. You can be deep square leg or short square leg.

The actual game isn't very complex but folk just get hung up on the names. I played cricket once and it's a fun time, you don't actually need to know the names.

This is the clenched paw of avarice. This miser has sullied and hoarded every quality piece of drinkware at their workplace, without returning it to the canteen or washing up, forcing their colleagues to drink their coffees from tiny yard sard espresso snifters or elephantine groj sale sippy cups. They will for sure be shot for their crimes.

Non-traditional mug use is the way. I mostly use mine for flavored nuts so my hands don't get all gross.

Groj sale mugs are the worst. Yes I would like one litre of coffee from a perma-stained and slightly sticky mug.
