Cricket has given us the greatest sporting triumph ever:- ''Botham's Ashes'' .The famous test match when England followed on and with odds of 500-1 managed to win! Nothing will ever beat that.I am also a football fan and go to watch my team Wolves about 10-12 times a year.Football wins most of the time but the latest Ashes series is one of the best ever and is holding the attention of many people who normally couldn't give a monkeys.What's this all got to do with prog? NOTHING!! Sport and Art have little in common anyway.

As for anyone who said Baseball is boring, all I have to say is this:  !
You're on the right track! Its not that being a woman or european leads you to think baseball is boring, baseball actually IS boring!

Baseball sucks, notice how when you see a baseball game on TV, there are so many empty seats, because alot of people finally realised baseball sucks. I play tennis on occasion, bowling, and golf, but damned if I would watch those on TV either.

I am actually competing in gymnastics on a pretty high level. No doubt
this is a more progressive sport than, say, football or baseball

The sports I'm interested in are mainly football, cycling and tennis. I also watch ice hockey every now and then but it can be rather boring!
Cricket sucks - as does American "football", that has NOTHING to do with FOOTBALL!! 
But have any of you ever watched curling?

I absolutly love to play to a almost any sport; Hockey, Baseball, Tennis (the one I do the most), American Football, Soccer/Football, and others too. On TV, It's great to watch American Football and Hockey, Baseball sometime, mainly in the playoffs.
I got a question for Europeans : Do most of you know how to play American football, or no one know a rule? (like most people here about cricket )

Well I'm not a European, but I'll give it a go.
American football is similar to rugby in that the aim is to get the
ball to the area behind the opposing teams posts. It differs from
rugby in the following ways:
The amount of protective clothing.
The ball may be passed forwards (in rugby it may be kicked forwards, but must be passed backwards).
Each team is made up of two sub-teams, an offensive and a defensive
one, one of which will be on the field while the team is attacking, and
the other while the team is defending.
The team in possession has 4 attempts in which they must gain 10 yards, otherwise possession is given to the other team.
I know that there are things that I've missed, but that's all that I
can think of right now. I think non-Americans know more about
American football than Americans know about cricket from movies and TV,
as I don't think there's been a movie or a TV series that has had
cricket playing a significant part.

[/QUOTE] That's actually croquet on the Nursery Cryme cover. Some of you may have seen this before, but I'll post it anyway:
Cricket: As explained to a foreigner... You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
[/QUOTE]
Thanks for explanation, it was illuminating, but tell me - how do cricket players score goals?
