1. I still don’t know how to play cricket

2. wtf I just watched? send more

3. This is Calvinball, but the opposite.

4. Pretty sure this was on Sky Sports at the weekend.

5. Takes me back to my teen years of playing Twafflebadders on a Sunday afternoon.

   I was pretty good, but gave up after I got snoogled on the fourth corridor five games in a row.

   Bad times.

6. I’d watch this

7. mad skills

8. Lost £50 on this game…

9. [Here’s](https://youtu.be/E_6d3JBBo4s) the full length original version!

10. Morning ton Crescent is the better game, but I still find the Wimbledon rules ridiculous in the new Twickenham Cross versions

11. Frankly, an outrageous display. Vile. This is no longer the game of Higginbotham and Willings, I say.

12. Not up there with Rugger Bugger.

13. I actually just scrolled past the US equivalent of this. It was an add for a Chevy truck.

14. I remember this from Get Him To The Greek?

15. That call was bullshit!

    Perfect form in the leap if you ask me.

16. Still better than f1!

17. Commentators were spot on, that’s some of the best ring fringing I’ve ever seen.

18. Damn Dutch taking the piss out of our great heritage again. Funny though.

19. Great stuff haha

20. As an expat who still has no idea how kriket works, I laughed way too hard at this.

21. Ruined it when they brought VR in

22. That’s also a baseball to at least the majority of Eastern Europeans

23. Thought that was from an obscure BBC TV show. Turns out it’s Dutch.

24. Jiskefet! Top Dutch television

25. If there was ever an example of why we need technology in the game…Ref’s lost it there

26. Is this Cricket?

27. To be fair that video looks far more entertaining than cricket. A sport where men stand in a field for 5 days with the occasional tea break. Then at the end they have scores that are not the same and declare it a draw.

28. And then you have the equally very-English “push each other down the hill” type games.

29. Jiskefet is the dutch comedy trio who made thus sketch for anyone wondering

30. There’s a Cricket Team in Amsterdam

31. No… That’s how cricket seems to Americans. It is a very traditional jargon heavy sport.

    The rest of the UK sports are played globally by pretty much everyone including Americans. Our most famous export being take the ball and kick it in the other net. Our second most famous export being pick up the oval ball and run it over the line.

32. There are some videos of ‘American people’ on YT filming their reaction to this and thinking it’s real. Worth a watch just to remind oneself how stupid some people are

33. You have to admit, that was some excellent ring fringing.

34. Quality fringe on that ring I must say

35. That was the most nailbiting game of Squaffball I ever saw live, the person in the stand was beside himself

36. I just cried laughing at this. What is this show?

37. In the US we also call this soccer.

38. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried to explain cricket to a German.

    “But zat is not logical!!”
    “No- it’s cricket.”

39. you just don’t see ring fringing like this in the modern game
