I actually know most of the rules for cricket. It's on espn 3 from time to time.

I saw it played on Downton Abbey! I had no idea what was going on.
Tom Waits can.
Most offices only do about a half day on the day before Thanksgiving. Guessing they'll be ending earlier than they normally would.

You can piece it together from his Tumblr.
You have to pay extra for it, even if you're a Giant Bomb subscriber. Sentences range in price from $1 to $100.
$1 per sentence, $14 for a nine sentence Great Value Special Price paragraph.
I don't know how how you guys handle stuff over there.
Same place Brad's Dead Rising 3 review is.

Now seeing that I actually care about cricket I'll see if I get infuriated like those people who care about football.

Seriously, how is this released at this state? It looks like an alpha.
Danny is on this? Holy shit! Gotta watch asap.
Well it has been removed from Steam yesterday.

Ah, alright. That's good. Nobody should pay money for this.
Have you seen the release schedule?. Get used to it. See you in march!
Some people won't like me saying this, but they should spend less time on the GOTY stuff and instead do streams of old games and stuff.
I would be fine with the GOTY articles on the site and the podcast. Really don#t need all that video stuff.
You should watch Backflips in BioForge, if you're a premium member.

They're well set with non-new release dependent content lately, LOLS, Breaking Brad, Unprofessional Fridays, Pathfinder, Spookin' with Scoops, etc. The things that'll really impact output will be holiday vacations and GOTY stuff, though.
The Cricket QL is as good as you'd expect.

I cannot wrap my head around anyone who could possibly find any joy in spectating Cricket. I remember playing it in school and that was okay if you were part of the main batting/bowling situation but outside of that it was so boring. As an adult I have never seen anyone excited about the sport other than people jumping on an ashes win bandwagon. My baseball experience is equally as limited but is there a similar apathy in the US towards that sport?
Oh god that cricket QL.
Living proof here of that being wrong (though I'm not an Englishman).

I must be alone in this but I don't really get watching sports. I figure it must be something that has to be instilled upon you from an early age.

It's anecdotal but within all my social groups (ranging from 20 to late 30's) nobody has ever shown an interest in cricket. Motorspot, rugby, football, shit even golf has been discussed.
But cricket?
Not once
You don't really watch Cricket when you watch Cricket, especially test matches. You get drunk or you do something else at the same time. When the players start shouting or the crowd starts cheering, that's when you look up and join in the excitement, then you go back to doing something else.
No experience with watching Baseball but I think people in the US get super drunk watching that sport too.
He's one of my favorite infrequent guests. Awesome in the Bioforge play through.
Sorry, that's nonsense. It's a bit niche, but definitely popular in my group of late 20s/early 30 somethings. Definitely more so than football, these days. Not that that's true for everyone, but you can't generalise and say that no one below 40 cares.

Way too many of my friends watch/play. Maybe it's more to do with where you live. There's a ton of cricket grounds around these parts.
Either way cricket sucks, coming from a tea drinking Englishman.

You're a big guy.
Loads of children and young people attend cricket matches. He's talking rubbish. It is more popular with children than Rugby, I'd wager.
...*crickets*
Guys, is Unprofessional Wednesday really that early tonight? Says 8PM for me (in the UK).
Hold on, aren't you Australian?
Wait WHAT
I know what my tonight will be now!
Newsflash: Cricket is popular in many countries outside of England and the rest of the cricket loving world don't give a flying fuck about the weird class hangups some Poms have about the sport.
