How did the dominant sports in the USA come to be so different from the rest of the world?

Have you ever really watched Cricket?

Just the fielding positions (and their names) are enough to make your eyes water.

lol...i was born only 2 miles away from Trent Bridge...................but im not a fan of cricket

do you know the rules?


Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.

When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
