Thursday afternoon while on my long drive back from a trek across the southeast of the United States, I experienced a eureka moment. While I love to say many incredibly stupid things, this is far from it. In fact, I believe this could be the most revolutionary analysis of cricket in America. I have discovered the key to get Americans to understand batting theory in cricket. In turn, it will help Americans to understand cricket as a whole.
The complete earth-shattering explanation will be delivered in painstaking detail by the end of the year in the next episode(s) of Cricket 101. This truly will be the essence of Cricket 101, the basic understanding of cricket.
Heck yeah — really looking forward to this. I especially enjoy your admittance: “While I love to say many incredibly stupid things [..]” Haha.
Good on ya, Peter.

Sounds interesting, look forward to it. The real key is to get people to play, just a little, then it all becomes so much more clear.

Absolutely. I’ve said it before, once you stick a bat and ball in someone’s hands, their entire perception and opinion of cricket changes.

To me, the hard part about actual recreational involvement seems to be that us Americans have even moved away from playing baseball in favor of softball. If we are unwilling, as a nation, to even play baseball, then what hope is there for cricket? (outside of its niche audience)

Are we going to have to start the slow hand clap? Please don’t keep us in suspense any longer!

The moment of truth is nearly here…
