  England is the home of Cricket, as the English went around colonizing the world they spread the game and taught everyone how to beat them.

  As an Indian who immigrated to US have seen few baseball games. Trust me they have very boring phases but cricket especially with T20 and ODI formats there are no boring phases.

  As an Australian, my advice to people who are new to cricket is to start with t20 and work your way up to test. Cause test can get pretty boring sometimes.

  I'm from NYC. Huge baseball city obviously. Never cared, followed or played baseball at all. Then I lived in Australia for about two years. Absolutely fell in love with cricket and still follow all the international matches to this day.

  5 days sounds a long time, but it is just a different rhythm. It becomes the background to your life for that time. I like all formats, but the tests are the most epic.

  As a Brit.. I used to hate cricket… but then I watched a test game where the game was explained to me.. now I love it. It’s so intricate.

  Lord’s cricket ground is London is probably the most famous it was founded in 1814  and is called the  “home of cricket “ due to it being one of the oldest world cricket grounds. England play 2 test matches a year there and usually some ODi and T20 games too.The first test match was in 1877 between Australia and England in Melbourne, first ODI was in 1971 between Australia and England and first International T20 was 2005 Australia v New Zealand

  Another aspect of cricket is that it works really well as a radio commentary. You can follow the game pretty well and with much enjoyment with no video. This is in part because the game came with established descriptions of key fielding locations, ball movement, batting strokes, etc. And also, the radio commentators are very good at it.

  It sounds odd, but a five day draw (or a tie, they are different!) can be the most exciting cricket. One team desperately trying not to lose wickets, the other team desperately trying to bowl them out. Every ball bowled could be a turning point. Edge of the seat stuff.

  Fun fact - in Australia, our football (AFL) was invented in the 1850s to keep cricketers fit in the winter, and that’s why AFL games are played on cricket ovals - so they get used all year round.
