Watching world cup highlights. Canada have a cricket team?! I didn't even know. Don't fancy their chances against Sri Lanka. #cricket
-
@vanden: Yes definitely, Sri Lanka wouldn't last 2 mins at hockey. I didn't even know cricket was played in Canada though at all though
-
@methoddan Large ex-pat population, of course. For several years India/Pakistan played in Toronto due to safety concerns and got huge crowds
-

@silner Well, it isn't tundra in all parts, nor for much more than a 1/3rd of the year where most of us live :-)
-
@gamerchick02: No, cricket is only played in sunny conditions. They don't play in rain etc, games are regularly cancelled.
-
@methoddan It is mainly those of West Indian and sub-continent Indian origin who play, here. I've never met a single AngloSaxon player.
-
@vanden: That's not surprising. Cricket isn't even that popular in the UK. It's well behind football. Massive in Asia / Australia though
-
@methoddan: Oh, so it's like baseball. In that they cancel games due to rain or snow or asteroids. Thanks! :)
-
@gamerchick02: Yeah probably similar. That goes on for hours as well.
-
@methoddan: Baseball doesn't go on as long as cricket. As far as I know, they haven't had a game go over days. ;)
-
@vk7hse: I did see a new story yesterday about a gang in LA who've turned to cricket to get out of crime. No shit. They had a rap about it
-
@gamerchick02: well the day matches are much better as they aren't played for days. But both sports are boring to me though. :)
-
@methoddan: they should get other problem area's in the world out for a few games of cricket! perhaps people will be more tolerant then! ;)
-
@gamerchick02 yeah, cool. You listen to cricket online? Like on BBCRadio
-
@gamerchick02 ah cool
