When I was in my youth I used to live in Southeast Asia with my parents who were working rural electrification projects around the country of Thailand. Thailand had a lot of British influences for some odd reason, all my instructors at elementary school the British and at gymnasium we played British games mixed with fastpitch softball and track and field. But we learned how to play cricket and I also learned how to play soccer. When I move back to the States I didn’t know how to play football or basketball and I really didn’t care cuz by that time I was at the tennis but it was different growing up in that athletic atmosphere stemming from the empire.
I like watching a good game of cricket to this day and I also have a particular affinity for Scottish shinty. Darts anyone?
If they can create excitement in televised poker and corn hole, they can televise darts too......
