Any source or pulled outta ur arse again? How do you measure arrogance? have you been to USA and meet the people? All these assumptions are full of bull shit. What is so intelligent about Cricket, a game not played by more than 150 countries!
it terms of arrogance its based opinion. there is very little point in sourcing opinion maybe if have want to show some support to your opinions.
I have been USA and have met the people. Yes there are a lot gud ppl. But on average they tend to be more arrogant (why wouldnt you be when you are a superpower?). Its not such bad things its just way the world is. SOme people are more arrogant than others.
Aryanbeauty - you seems to takes things on a specific manner rather look at the overall picture. You seem to have fixed beliefs that America is the best nation and jews are supreme. In contrast i dont hold such fixed views towards islam or arabs or the middle east, australia or anything. Yeah sure i have personal issues with JEWS, but i dont use that in my arguments (if i do i put out clearly I HATE JEWS).
Cricket is only played a few countries because it is restricted by weather. ITs a summer sport and cant be played everywhere although with increasing technology that may soon change. Most sports are indoor and can be played anywere and thus more countries will participate in them. Canada have a developing team.
Cricket is unique it is unlike other sports. In other sports like NFL, basketball, soccer, union etc - the coach is the ultimate figure. But in cricket the captain holds all responsibility. Unlike most sports cricket is relatively long game (20/20 is a short version). about 6 hours for one day and 5 days for test.
In Cricket it is impossible to predict the victor unless it is mathematically impossible to win. The use run rates are crucial to ODIs, whilst the managing time over a long period is a skill that captain must posses in order to be gud captain. In soccer a team will hold possession in the dying few seconds if they are winning. In cricket there is no such as winning till the match is over.
there are so many variables in cricket its almost a pre-requisite that you are smart to play. for eg decisions to when to change to the new ball, fielding settings, where to hit ball, and how to bowl. when compared to baseball - u hit the ball and u run. Baseball is good sport no doubt, but in cricket u need to be more smart to play and be sucessful.
