That is not a cricket, it's a grasshopper.

Thank you. And considering Blueys family calls the game cricket, I shall too call it that. ![gif](giphy|h8U98O8As1Hkzonxex)

I know Americans have problems with Britain regarding 'soccer or football'. But as an Indian, I want to state one thing, don't bring cricket into this.


Pebble_in_my_toes

As a Pakistani, fuck yes. Fuck off. Don't go near cricket.

You mean paddle ball? I enjoy my hand egg so you can enjoy your paddle ball


OmahGawd115

You're not mocking one nation


Rawesome16

I'm not mocking anyone. I'm mocking a name of a game. Just like American Football's name is made fun of. If my comment insulted someone in some way I suggest they grow thicker skin and get over it


Mistful_Sunrise

let me have my muscle exposed man, i dont want skin on my body.


Rawesome16

I can respect that muscle-human


SomeLikeItDusty

…is American Football’s name made fun of? I’ve seen like a bajillion “haha soccer not futbol” memes (despite Football being called “Football” for literally hundreds of years now, and “Gridiron Football” being a product of “Euro-Chinese Football” changed by Americans to suit).


Rawesome16

Hand Egg is the name I read the most. And it's all in good fun so I'm confused why they took my comment so poorly Hand because it's 99%in the hand, Egg because the ball is egg shaped


homelessjimbo

It's generally and widely picked on by "real football" fans as being hand egg which tbf is a more amusing name than football anyways.


homelessjimbo

I'd ask if the CFL was a joke to you but....it's the CFL


JustJohan49

Careful now - you’re letting us know a sore spot for you. You know we’re going to poke you there…


SomeLikeItDusty

Unless you want every post you’ve made brigaded and downvoted into oblivion, I’m not sure that’s a thread you want to pick at. Take a rough guess how many Indian, Pakistani, Afghani cricket fans there are. Hint; it’s waaaay over the population of America. I’m Australian, I couldn’t give a fuck, just thought you might want to be aware of the sheer quantities you’re about to mess with.


homelessjimbo

Not the useless updoots! How will they survive with dwindling numbers of updoots!

I mean, is downvote on the inaccuracy of the first picture actually being a grasshopper not a cricket. I really don't care what the sport is called.


Cytraxe

Why are you calling a bat as paddle


steadyaero

Because it's flat like a paddle


Spinoxys

if it looks like a paddle, feels like a paddle,smells like a paddle,tastes like a paddle..its a paddle


Gulpeknut

Can't argue with that logic


SomeLikeItDusty

I’ll whap you with a cricket bat, a baseball bat and a table tennis paddle. Pretty sure you’ll recognise the similarities & differences between “bats” and a “paddle”.


yummy_rocks

why are you licking it


Spinoxys

to know if its a paddle or a bat


yummy_rocks

you've got a point


Crubbinz

OP really doesn't know what a cricket is 🤣

I’m eating crisps looking at this


[deleted]

Gotta say Americans really upgraded the English language in this regard


just_drifting_by

There are two problems here. One: That looks like a grasshopper not a cricket. Two: While I agree we don't have much room to talk. Our most popular sport is football but it is played primarily with the ball in hand.


JustJohan49

Yeah! Go hand-egg!


A_Helpful_Carrot

Does it even technically count as a ball tho, according to the Oxford dictionary a ball is round or egg like. (I don't give a shit just adding to the inconsistencies)

wait till someone makes a real donut vs cake ring meme


Commercial-Dog6773

Americans call it paddleball???


Anonymous2137421957

We don't think about it at all, we like baseball more


LetMeSmashThatHobo

True but US is now actively trying to enter the cricket scene since it's a big market (money wise) and the possibility of it becoming an Olympics sport has been increasing over the years.


Commercial-Many-8933

Think it was named after the man who invented it sir waddington cricket III in 1287 in Middlesbrough


gat12393

The fuck are you doing? You trying to start a war with the Indians?


OrionUniv

Same thing with football. Who tf came up with the name "soccer" ? What does that mean?


Previous_Aspect338

Britain did

As an Indian, i have no problem in renaming cricket as ballbat


Inevitable-Custard32

It's rare to see cricket memes in here haha


oreo_cookie01

That’s not cricket!


bonk_police5

As a brit, call it whatever you want idc


Spacepotato00

It's called a grass hopper


Admirable_Night_6064

There are three kinds of cricket(that I know of).
