I'm seriously thinking about studying the rules for cricket. It could easily surpass my enjoyment for the soccer World Cup due to it being a bat and ball sport. I think it's really neat that there's a sport where the Middle East and India dominate. Thanks British imperialism.

And by the way, keep pumping up cricket. I've seen several posts from you about it, and it seems that you have the same passion for the sport that I have for stock car racing.

Excuse my ignorance, but don't cricket matches go on for multiple days sometimes?

Maybe I'm think of something else.
