Cricket in America

Our Cricket Problem is a wonderful piece about Cricket and how it is ignored by the Americans and American media!

The following ending from the article aptly sums it up.We just dont give a shit about what people here think.And I can't put myself to the boring experience of watching American football or baseball.American football seems to be more like a sport for animals or something like the Indian kabaddi where its more of the physique than technique that matters.

So here’s the message, America: don’t pay any attention to us, and we won’t pay any to you. If you wonder, over the coming weeks, why your Indian co-worker is stealing distracted glances at his computer screen every few minutes or why the South African in the next cubicle is taking frequent and furtive bathroom breaks during the working day, don’t even try to understand. You probably wouldn’t get it. You may as well learn to accept that there are some things too special for the rest of us to want to waste them on you.



Heres another article from wall street journal that talks of how the Australians,Asians and the South Africans are passionate about cricket and try to follow it even if they are in a busy meeting amidst the ignorant Americans.

Our Cricket Problem

Sometimes ignorance is bliss and it applies only to me being ignorant of American football!
