    I finally “learned” the rules of cricket, and now understand why Americans created baseball. A game takes a fucking week‽‽ We don’t have time for that shit!

      iirc Hitler had it banned from Germany after learning the week long match against England ended with no result lmao.

      Anyways that’s the test cricket format. The typical game is ODI which lasts about 7 hours, and the world cup happening this June is T20I which lasts 2.5 hours and is the most exciting to watch.

        Those games are completely different from cricket. Baseball has some pretty close similarities to cricket
