#2 What's a pitch?

Who in the Marines would play soccer? Seems as if the jihadis had an opportunity to get 11 Marines with no weapons, no effort would be wasted to kill them. They're infidels, after all! Hardly human beings. Contrast this with the attitudes of the Europeans who slaughtered each other during the Great War, doing so largely at the behest of their rulers. Jihadis really believe that the enemy needs to die, as opposed to Franz and Bill, who just want to get the thing overwith so they can go back to their girlfriends and drinking beer.

#4 Cricket actually seems like a real American kind of sport. I mean, what's more American than high scores, 131 runs for God's sake! That's why we hate soccer, an hour and a half for a score of 1-0.

If only cricket had rules.

#6 Ha ha!! Like it.
Cricket does have rules - they're just arbitrary on the whole.

#9 Don't be snarky about cricket- the love of the game has kept the desire for communication open between the people of Pakistan & India.
And what about Lara's 400...

#10 High Scores?

Gotta be like the "health suppliments" like Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were taking.

#11 Grunter: Lara's 400 was superb and the man had the dignity to declare... Top hole.
