Enlighten me then faggot. What exactly is happening inside the head every time a guy gets hit that makes it more likely he will be KOed the next time he gets hit?
>>75007635
You finding out how stupid you are on your own will be far more enlightening tham anything I'd reveal
Americans will never understand the depth of knowledge that goes into cricket. For example, in cricket a seasoned veteran can look at the colour of the pitch and get a good idea about how the game will play out, which bowlers will perform best, which batsmen will struggle and on which time of day wickets will fall.
I havent even gotten started on tactics. In baseball the tactics consist of, "let's hit the ball hard lmao." The Pitchers tactic is "Ayyyy let's through the ball fast". Just put three fielders on the designated fielder positions, have so comically dressed dude to act as wicket keeper and fuck it senpai just scatterthe rest in the designated 90 degree hitting wedge to which the batsman is limited. Field placments do not mater at all because the batsmen is forced, by the rules of the game, to hit it at the fielders.
Want to use the pace of the ball to angle a finely placed glance? lol fuck off you have to whack it in the designated hitting wedge faggot. Want to play a defensive stroke to keep out a good ball? Too bad dickhead you can't choose to do that just whallop it you goof! There is absolutely no vairiety in the game, no situational decision making required of the batsmen and no aspect of sustained mental fortitude.
All the nuances of the gentleman's game will never be understood by "lowest common demoninator" baseball fags who are more interested in how many toppings they can fit on their hotdogs, or how many roids they can put in their mexicans, than anything to do with their game. Baseball has about as much subtlety as american music, that is to say none at all.
The pinnacle of American Football is viewed as the ad break.
Every rule in the entire game is geared towards maximising the amount of ad breaks that can be attempted within an hour. Its great viewing. What a thrilling sport.
Cricket is OK but I can't deal with all that sport. Sometimes several hours can pass without a single break! Can you imagine?
I hardly ever get to sit and watch advertisements for eight minutes while commentators frantically create stats to read out in cricket. If cricket wants to compete they need far more of it.
Also, there's far too much strategy in cricket. They bowl in too many areas in too many ways and they preplan their intricate game plan for the next four days far too frequently. What cricket needs to do is make the game shorter, so less time is spent actually watching the sport. Did you guys see the latest Broncos vs 49ers game? 15 television breaks to 34! The 49ers had no answer to Bronco's tactics of generating advertising revenue by constantly ending plays to cut to an ad break.
Its this level of corporate support that is missing in cricket, where as you rightly point out, its just a bunch of athletic guys playing a sport against each other for five days. Yawn
Americans will also never understand that, when you compile every single statistic from every single popular sport in history, one person stands far above all others as being the single greatest athlete of all-time. No basketball player compares. No football player compares. No baseball player compares. He was truly a one-off anomaly that changed everything.
He was Don Bradman.

Question towards non-Spanish soccer/football fans that follow foreign leagues: what measures would you like the Spanish league to take so that it would increase the appeal of the product at hand (the Spanish first division) towards your liking? I came up with nine steps, but you can add any other that come to mind that you think the league is in dire need of adressing:
A) Full media coverage in English (game narrations, news, podcasts, post-match interviews, etc)
B) A more balanced distribution of TV rights revenue among the clubs
C) Injection of foreign investors' money in midtable clubs
D) More international players and managers (i.e., not from Spain or South America)
E) Earlier game schedules
F) Higher attendance rates, better fan atmosphere
G) Improvement of the refereeing; less leniency towards 'diving'
H) Introduction of US pro leagues format (draft, salary cap, playoffs, players are traded not bought out)
I) Renovated stadiums
I also made an online poll with the aforementioned nine ideas: http://www.strawpoll.me/12667825
Thank you in advance.
>H) Introduction of US pro leagues format (draft, salary cap, playoffs, players are traded not bought out)

My brother is autistic, he has aspergers and its really, really noticeable.
he still plays with toys and is 20, going on 21 this year. super comic book nerd type of guy. it doesnt look like hell ever change. is there any way I can mold him into a more social person? I want the best for him and I feel at fault for making him that way because we had a terrible relationship growing up because I didnt understand what autism was. Ive mended it now, but I feel like my whole life will be full of guilt for making him hate me so much.
Suck out the autism through his cock
introduce him to /f1/, /hoc/ or /bundes/
i guess autism is contagious because you are posting funny overwatch reaction images from reddit on the wrong board
