cricket.....

ok, so...i have oft mentioned that on sundays i listen to the bbc news, instant guide, and cricket scores before dragging myself out of bed.......at some point during the sports scores i resolve to read up on cricket, and until this morning i had never followed through......but given that this morning's instant guide piece from the bbc was on the google search folks......i resolved to google cricket......and now know a bit more about this sport, and understand about as much as i did before......i suppose the disjoint comes from my trying to equate the game to baseball......which it is not.....it is its own game....and certainly an acquired taste.....the notiont hat a match can go on for 4 days is amusing......and explains why the game has not taken off in the u.s.....we like our sports resolved much faster.......maybe 3 hours tops.....when games go on longer....say...when televised baseball games go on past 12 innings...all but the most stalwart fans will give up and go on to bed.....
