    Oh.

    Please don't make me explain (admittedly crap) humour again. I look an even bigger fool when I have to do that.

    Please don't get me wrong - I like baseball. I have watched C5's late night coverage on many occasions and am constantly amazed that batters can even hit the bloody ball at the speed it comes to them.
    Cricketers think it's too poofey, what with them not being able to spin it off the ground, or use bouncers. Just basically throwing it.

    Hoying a cricket ball at the other chaps head is an acceptable tactic in cricket. Or right into their ribs, that's another good one.
    Curious.... How fast does a cricket ball travel when thrown or pitched or whatever the delivery is called?

    Where do you Americans get this silly idea we use KPH, or MPL. It's just daft, whilst admittedly kinda cute.
