Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players on each side. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch.\n\nA player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized leather ball from one set of wooden stumps, called a wicket, towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat. Another batsman (the partner of the defending player) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with his partner. This scores a run. While the batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball, that is thrown by a fielder strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out, or "dismissed." Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat (innings) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. The innings may also be restricted to a certain number of balls. This is determined before the match, as is whether each team has one or two innings. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try to achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

No, there will never be a team in CT. Too close to Boston and NY City. As a Connecticutter you either like the Sox or the Yanks, you like the Patriots, and you pick the Celtics or the Knicks.... MAYBE there could be a NBA team then.\n Florida doesn't deserve baseball teams. The Devil Rays AND Marlins should bail on that loser state.

ok, this is simple, New Jersey happens to be the Arm pit of america, which is where the most indians live (and cricket is a big indian sport),  so you go to Jersey City, where a lot of indians live, walk up to any middle aged indian, and ask him where do the indians play their cricket, and he will tell you, then you go to anywhere it is, and play ball.

This completely depends on how you want to choose your team. If you want a good team that is always in contention then the Yankees, Red Sox, White Sox, Cardinals are all good options. If you want to root locally in WV you could go with the Braves. In Utah there really isnt a local team there is the diamondbacks in Arizona and the Rangers and Astros in Texas. Personally if I was a new fan I would either root for the Diamondbacks or Angels. They are both good teams with very good young players in there farm system so they should be good for a while. The Milwaukee brewers and Detroit tigers are also both good young teams. Whatever you do pick a team and stick with it.

Shahz you have no idea what you're talking about. Soccer is currently the global sport. Basketball and Rugby(yes Rugby) aren't far behind. As for the top American sport: Football.

I am not sure that we think that baseball is better than cricket, it's just that we don't play cricket here, baseball, football, and basketball are our main sports. It just has to do with culture. If we played cricket here, and not baseball,then the situations would be reversed. I don't think any American walks around thinking about baseball being better than cricket.

The best ones!\n\nThe M nearly got it right but Canada is in the Commonwealth and is not renowned for its cricketing prowess, neither is the Netherlands part of the Commonwealth!!\n\n"The official Test Cricket nations are currently: England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe. \n\nThe West Indies is actually a consortium of Caribbean countries: Barbados; Jamaica; Guyana; The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago; Antigua and Barbuda; St. Kitt's-Nevis; Dominica; St. Lucia; St. Vincent and the Grenadines; Montserrat; and Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. \n\nMinor cricketing nations (which do not play Test cricket, but do compete for a place in the World Cup One-Day competition) include: Kenya, Fiji, Canada, The Netherlands, Bangladesh."\n\nFrance also has cricketing connections: \n\n"France was one of two nations to compete in the only Olympic cricket event, in 1900. They lost, making them the only nation to lose an Olympic cricket match and the only Olympic silver medallists in Cricket."

Since we are Americentric the "World" consists of America and possibly Canada.  If India wanted to host the world series of say Polo we wouldn't make a fuss.  Also some of you are so dated, the Montreal expos are long gone
