I know right. I remember another thread where an American Idiot trued to argue Babe Ruth, who was at his smallest about 50 lbs overweight, was a legitimate athlete while Don Bradman, a fit country lad and statistically the greatest team sport athlete of all time by a significant margin, wasn't. I have no horse in the baseball vs cricket debate. I played both sports growing up and a lot of the skills are interchangable (as is also true of hockey or field hockey as yanks refer to it). I still watch and enjoy both now. And the argument from both sides essentially boils down to needing to grow up watching the sport to appreciate the skills and nuances of the games, and lacking appreciation of these nuances make the games inaccessible.
