Ok lets work some magic here.
I am a Australian so I know a little bit about cricket.

In cricket there are 3 forms of the game:
Test match
One Day
Twenty20.

A test match, what you are talking about, goes for 5 days. Each team has two innings where they either bat or bowl, the aim of the game is to score as many runs as you can and bowl out the team as fast as you can.

You could also wikipedia this if you really need too.

Ive never really understood cricket, but I dont really care about it

That is because USA suck at it =)

No, it's because no one plays it. We have the equivalent: baseball.

I'd say cricket is harder than baseball.

Now, I don't know exactly what cricket involves, but I doubt it's harder than trying to hit a 95-mph fastball 400 feet.

The faster the ball is thrown, the father is travels from a bat...however, the faster it's thrown, the harder it is to make contact with. Ein, you and I both play baseball but neither of us fast 90 MPH pitchers or have the capability to hit the ball 400 feet. One day, we will be playing in the Majors, if not the Minors which was would be just as cool, and we will be. But until then, let's just agree that we don't know which sport takes more skill, since whoever plays one doesn't often play the other.

Sounds good to me.

Nooo cricket is harder, the 11 players from both sides have to play for 5 days, each starts at around 10am and finshes at 6pm with only 2 hours of break. Sometimes you can bat in the hot sun for most of the day or you have to field for a whole day.
I think cricket is much harder.

Also if no one plays cricket, why are they competing in the cricket world cup this year.

Well, now you're kinda talking about endurance vs. skill.

Ohhh but cricketers do have skill.

yeah right like EVERY cricket match lasts for 5 DAYS. Wtf do they think they're playing, Quittich?

Ein, I'd 90 MPH is almost exactly the same speed that a a cricket ball gets bowled(around 140km/h). And it gets bowled, so it does bounce.

That made me laugh. Sorry.

Also, cricket is silly.

That was silly to say.

No need to get into a fight about it.

We don't have it here in the U.S., so this will be my last post on this thread.

Gah, what is this Ein, this could've been a great debate over Cricket vs Baseball.

Oooh, yes, I want a debate thread :d

Maybe it won't be my last.

Guys, I don't know much about cricket. Besides, I don't feel like arguing right now.

Cricket was like "cool" until the English discovered football.
