As most of you know by the job I have, I love sports. I can spend hours watching a meaningless baseball game and can spend an entire Saturday and Sunday watching football. Anyways, the one sport I have never been able to wrap my head around is cricket. I watched bits and pieces here and there on TV but it was just so foreign to me that I was unable to grasp it. Well of course when the schedule comes out the first event of the games I am assigned to is of course cricket. So yesterday Mark Dadswell and I went over to the cricket field (Is it a field?) to cover the first round game between China and Malaysia. Even I know when it comes to cricket very few countries play it well. Luckily Mark is from Mebourne so he shoots cricket all the time and shoots it well.
I sat with Mark as he tried to explain the rules of the game but I think the quality was so bad that it still wasn't making sense to me. All the volunteers working at the cricket stadium had no idea either of the rules. However, they all loved basbeball and actually knew a little about MLB. After spending a few hours watching cricket myself I think I'm better off sticking to baseball as well, where I am currently at.
