You are a complete idiot if you think that silly game requires skill to play.. I've seen those guys, they look like a bunch of skinny asses.. Please, you guys would have no chance at playing baseball, hitting 95 mph fastballs and big time curve balls, etc. So quit taking shots at our skillmanship or patience, because baseball requires much more than cricket..

Besnit

Have you ever actually played Cricket?.... and I can't believe you are stupid enought to start a whole thread for this, god you are stupider than I thought, didn't think that was possible.

GossipMan

Have you ever played baseball Nesbit? You are the one that's stupid.. 60 feet, ,6 inches away, the ball doesn't hit the ground and slow up like your game does, it comes blazing in. The speed of the game is so much faster than cricket, its not even an argument.

You are nuts, you probably think soccer takes skill to play too.


Tell me why cricket takes so much skill to play, I would love to hear that

Besnit

*yawn* god your boring.*yawn*

Yes I have played baseball to, they do play it in the UK it isn't a US exclusive sport like you wish to think. And the speed of Baseball is much faster because the people in America are arn't patient enough.

Anyway why am I talking to you it is like talking to a brick wall, although that is disrespectful to wall because I would get a more intelligent conversation out of one.

GossipMan

whatever Nesbit, maybe because I"m right and you are wrong.. Alas, go ahead and call me names but you still haven't answered the question "What kind of skill does it take to play cricket?" But hey, whatever..

Besnit

Your right and I'm wrong? Thats the funniest thing I have heard all year.

Edit: Why the fuck am I even saying these reasons to you, so I am deleting them becasue there is no point trying to have a discussion with an idiot...

GossipMan

you are such a fu##ing idiot...

1.. You don't wildly swing at a baseball.. You read the pitch that's coming from the pitchers arm and you can tell what pitch(fastball,curve,etc) by the type of spin from the ball.. So there you are WRONG

2. You don't always hit the baseball or swing the bat as hard as you can. Obviously you never heard of bunting, hit and run play... WRONG AGAIN NESBIT

3. Baseball game consists of 27 outs., much more than 1 at bat..

4. I highly doubt that, Baseball is played by numerous number of kids and if you add the softball players that most dads play, its impossible...


Whatever Nesbit, whatever. Maybe you should watch a major-league baseball game in person, and see first hand how much skill it takes to play. But obviously you just another European jack-off who doesn't like to look at the facts or to look at reality..

Besnit

God you actually bothered to write all that out.

And it is spelt FUCKING not fu##ing you can spell can't you, wait that is a stupid question.

1. In cricket the batter must watch the bowler for all different types of deliveries, as well as reading the swing and bounce of the ball.

2. A cricket shot is very rarely a full blooded attack shot (unless you're Australian ) but quite often defensive or a quick single.

3. A test match has 40 outs possible.

4. Cricket probably has more people playing it worldwide than baseball. India alone has nearly 1 billion people and is cricket mad.

Cricket rocks!!! Baseball's not bad either, but kinda boring.

GossipMan

Hey jackoff, decided to clean-edit myself.. I know how to spell fucking.. Go ahead and be an asshole, too bad I just proved your ass wrong AGAIN.. You still have yet to come up with a point why cricket takes so much "skill" to play.. Wow, a ball is thrown to the ground(which slows it down) and you smack it with a big stick.. Big deal... Hitting a baseball is so much more difficult, its not even close..
