as an American who's moved to NZ, I still have very little understanding of the game but I've gotten to watch a few games IRL and it's fun to watch while downing some beers.

Everyone watching it being wasted would go a long way to explaining it's popularity.

On a semi-related note, the USA has a Pro T20 Cricket League:  http://www.majorleaguecricket.com/

Yeah, and it debuted only last year.

Fun fact: the first recorded international cricket match is between the USA and Canada in 1844.

It's good background noise for a barbeque, there's enough downtime between anything happening that everyone can maintain their conversations and enjoy their eats and drinks.

Very dangerous to be around if you're a beer, mind.

I'm what could be politely described as "a (kiwi) raging cricket nut" c:
Very much looking forward to the T20 world cup, and nothing tops cricket catches
 

(I'm also the one who's been inflicting cricket on @Major Arlene's poor American mind)

Ah, New Zealanders in doomworld are rare, yep cricket catches are insane, hard white or red ball made of cork hitting your hand at unimaginable speeds seem to be very unpleasant, You might as well insert Ben Stokes's catch from the 2019 world cup

That was one of the most insane catches I've ever seen, I was young back then and the 2019 world cup was the 2nd world cup I have seen of cricket apart from the 2015 world cup, I'm also very looking forward in the t20i world cup this year

It was the MLC right ?, Im in their subreddit and it's very good, some matches i see actual Americans playing cricket and not just Indians

Given the rampant corruption culture here, I'd rather not. Or maybe have the ICC go more direct with us. Still, that won't guarantee everyone becoming a cricket fan in God knows how long. ;)

Well, the current state of the icc, it seems like it's more focus in growing the sport in the Americas, However bcci could help tho, they are the most wealthy cricket board (also the most corrupt)

So, when is there gonna be a Cricket Doom mod?

:D

Yep, but the current stage of csk is not looking good, 

ha voh toh hai, CSK ka current stage utna accha nahi hai, par ummeed par sari duniya reheti hai!

they should put dhoni up the lineup so that he can build up innings and then hit sixes 

ye accha idea ho sakta hai, par Dhoni ka age dekhkar mujhe nahi lagta ki voh itna accha perform kar payega, except some cases mein, so baki sari team ne agar accha perform kiya, toh voh iss saal ka IPL jeet sakti hai.

A mod for the sport I can understand, but there's no way someone would be that determined to write down the names of all those players inside the mod. My best bet would be a basic gameplay mod for GZDoom based on the sport. Perhaps someone could do it on vanilla/Boom/MBF21 with Dehacked wizardry, but GZDoom would be easier to do.

Pork and Beans is good tho. I remember my first sibling loved it back in 2009, and the MV throws us back to when internet memes were still at its infancy and "dead memes" was a non-existent term.

I unironically love Weezer. They may be one of the most inconsistent band of all time but they are my favourite most inconsistent band of all time. Speaking about inconsistency, it is also jarring to know that they are the same band which made Pinkerton and also fucking Raditude.

Pakistani here. Of course cricket is very popular in my country, but lately I haven't been keeping up much with cricket related news/series.
