It's more a dislike of arrogance and snootiness than a chip. The English go on and on and on and on about the most boring game ever invented - cricket.
Are you suggesting Im arrogant and snooty!? Cricket is a gasme of skill and strategy, if you think cricket is boring what would that make American football or even worse baseball!! :-) .
I don't find cricket boring in the slightest. Rather, I find it to be absorbing.

Hey do you guys really have to dress up in 'whites' to play that game??????....And what kind of 'tay' is served????????.. .;-)...
In b-ball, fans go for some beer at that 'seventh inning stretch.' But really there's a bit of the old noggin used in basbeall.
There's the game within the game. lately, statistics have come into the game here where 'tendencies' are analyzed to try to acheive an edge between the batter and the pitcher at EACH BAT.
Not sure if cricket has made the leap. But here some people don't care about numbers and we have people like those in Govan who say Alex Ferguson is the GREATEST MANAGER EVER in international football without looking at any numbers...;-).

American football is also a game of skill and strategy. It's also a sport that has some of the finest athletes you will find in any sport. In fact, it's probably more comparable to cricket thnt English football.

This is a rather silly post .... mixing up cricket, baseball and football as well as drinking habits at the various games

Yeah alot of stuff in there...just responding to easthome about baseball...Here it's the great game. It also has a good amount of strategy and tactics unlike cricket. And no doubt like cricket (which probably has its equivalent for the one below!) gets great writing and sayings like..
'It gets late early out there'
'He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious'.

To be honest with you I was only responding a little 'tongue in cheek' to Ameriscot. The truth of the matter is (I think) that American sporting culture is just very different than everybody else's and therefore they (see) sports from a completely different angle to everybody else and see the entertainment value in different aspect of sport, for example it seems that Americans seem to like sporting stats a lot more than most whereas others fail to see the interest in stats - Americans can't understand the building tension of the final few seconds of a close contest when you're waiting for the ref to blow - whereas I would really hate to have a clock counting down to the end of a game! These are just a couple of examples to the different physic between Americans an others when it comes to sports (team sports anyway) neither way of thinking is right and neither is wrong just different and I think that perhaps this is why many Americans find the worlds team sports boring and why many people in the rest of the world find Americans sports boring??
Cricket boring..... A game of skill, and a game for gentlemen. As in the saying "that's not cricket" if someone behaves badly
As for American 'games'.... Baseball. A poor copy of an ancient English game called 'Rounders.' American Football, also a rip off of the English game 'Rugby.'
And sooooo boring to watch.
I agree baseball is boring but at least it doesn't go on and on and on like cricket. I have no interest in American football either.
