Isn't that the country that uses their hands to play football

Don't we do that with rugby football?

Which I was forced to play at school and hated.

Imagine what they make of a 5-day cricket match that ends in a draw? Baseball suits them better.

Baseball is just rounders with popcorn and loud music though, isn't it? Can't make my mind up which is the most boring American team sport tbh since they are all equally dull to watch.

Almost certainly rounders is derived from baseball, not the other way round, at least says Bill Bryson. Although I prefer cricket in the hitting-a-ball-with-a-bat genre. And basketball can go hang.

Don't tell them about a nine day test match that ended in a draw then. That only finished then because England had to catch the ship home!
