(Friday 🇺🇲 vs 🇮🇪 at 10:30 am ET, follow along via this thread) June 1-June 29, 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 (USA is the host) thread.

LOL as an Aussie, cricket is painful BUT T20 is a good introduction as it’s faster moving and more fun. Here in Australia T20 games have music and lots of players miked up so the commentators can chat during the games. Tests that go over 2-4 days are excruciating for non-interested tv viewing. My husband loves watching.

I told my daughter - never date a cricket player, I could think of nothing worse then sitting for hours in the baking heat surrounded by flies watching men chase a brutally hard ball that can in extreme cases injure / kill players.
