Yeah, I guess cricket is the baseball equivalent of UK and its former colonies. What is weird with cricket is that is being played by a few countries with large populations, but only there.
I fill you in on baseball (which I btw actually find a very interesting sport) in Japan.
According to Boyé Lafayette de Mente in ‘Japan - a guide to traditions, customs and etiquette’ baseball (or besuboru) is a popular sport due to Japans obsession with form, process, group orentiarion and the endless repetition till perfection. In Japan the sport is focusing on together wss and team harmony and the sport therefore is the perfect a medium for developing and demonstrating a national spirit and harmony.
Wait until you go see a cricket game (I am sure you watched at least one in your local park). Tea break anyone? In the end your cheap beer didn't work out to be that cheap haha! Nice article, as always.
Kinda like cricket, am I right?!? (useless sport, honestly... I've never even heard of it before coming here)

Ha, interesting and thanks for the info. I guess what the Japanese call "harmony" in this case, I call "boring"😅

No it was not cheap, but it was money well spent!
Loved it! Very good storytelling. Now I get why US Americans love baseball... 😄
Glad you liked it! Well I dont blame them, it was a blast!
