Fucking hell got so confused by the title, was wondering what the fuck do these guys have to do with cricket.

The cricket council honestly has more chance of bringing any of these cunts to justice than the real ICC.

I mean fucking Kony is still on the list, and I forget how long ago that was a thing, and he was on their list long before that.

I finally "learned" the rules of cricket, and now understand why Americans created baseball. A game takes a fucking week‽‽ We don't have time for that shit!

iirc Hitler had it banned from Germany after learning the week long match against England ended with no result lmao.

Anyways that's the test cricket format. The typical game is ODI which lasts about 7 hours, and the world cup happening this June is T20I which lasts 2.5 hours and is the most exciting to watch.

There are one day matches too.

same could be said about NBA, MLB, and NHL playoffs

Those games are completely different from cricket. Baseball has some pretty close similarities to cricket
