Cricket

Does no one else on this app follow the greatest sport on earth - Test Match Cricket?

Day 4 of Ind vs Eng is very finely poised. India have just bowled out England and are now chasing 193. Pitch is up and down, not easy for batting. Watching this is one of the few things that really makes me miss London.

My interest in ball sports rounds down to zero, but I have one gap in my armor and it’s cricket. 

There’s just something incredibly compelling about it as a spectacle 

The whole bizarre ordeal sometimes spanning days, the incredible flashes of athleticism, the arcane rules, the imperial aesthetic, the dominance of colonial teams, all of it. 

Mystifying to me why it’s rejected in the US in favor of a plainly inferior ersatz version
