    USA cricket fans...anyone else?

    I live 35 minutes from the coastal beach area so I would also love to try out beach cricket but use a tennis ball so that no protection would be needed. I just found out that my area has a league for cricket(Houston). Since I have played baseball at a high school level maybe someone will let me...

    In my part of the US the "brown people" are mexicans :) They all play soccer.

    Tennis ball cricket? First I've heard of it...sounds perfect for me and my amateur sports playing ass. To be honest I don't really know any so called ex pats. Maybe I will try the internet to find them.

    Basic questions

    Hey I am also from the states and new to cricket. The rules took a bit for me to fully understand and even to this day I get confused about the fielding restrictions and placement of the fielders during test matches. What part of the states are you located if you don't mind me asking?

    One day international cricket 50 over format

    Ok so basically test matches are the best players in the world who are giving it there all. ODI and t20 are more like the baseball equivalent of minor leagues or maybe preseason play which lets new players earn their stripes and earn a place with the big boys of the game. I will watch more test...

    Cricket's Popularity

    Well it is the 2nd most popular sport in the world so it is extremely popular. Japan/US are baseball countries and most south american/central american countries love only football. Not sure about eastern europe though seems like it would be popular.

    One day international cricket 50 over format

    I need to do more research on the difference between the balls. I wasn't aware there was any difference besides the color. Thought the red ball was ceremonial somewhat like the all white uniforms. On the cricket video game I got there is also a ball called a duke that I haven't seen(to my...

    One day international cricket 50 over format

    When watching test cricket it seems like the same shots that are made with ease during a t20 or ODI match are overly appreciated by the players and commentators. A nice but simple shot seems much greater than it is when they have only swung at one of the last ten balls. Seems overly "safe" for...

    One day international cricket 50 over format

    Being relatively new to the sport and coming from a somewhat outsiders perspective, this thread is very interesting to me. The reason is that ODI was my first type of cricket to watch and even after watching t20 and test matches I think ODI is the perfect balance between the two. Test matches...

    Thanks for the welcome! I'm glad you shared your experience because in some weird way it makes me happy to hear of someone growing up with cricket and now enjoying baseball..easy to relate to your story. If you don't mind me asking what teams of baseball do you watch and where do you watch it? I...

    USA cricket fans...anyone else?

    Thanks for the responses. Yeah I figured there were a few other ex pats from the states on here but was wondering it any others like myself who fell in love with the sport through online exploration. We literally get zero coverage on any of our sports channels but unless its world cup time we...

    I am an American "white boy" who grew up on baseball and nfl. I was and still am obsessed with baseball and hadn't really ever heard of this sport called cricket. One day I was watching sportscenter and low and behold they actually showed a cricket highlight on top ten. It looked somewhat like...
