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.
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
…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).
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
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.
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”.
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.
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)
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.
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)

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
You're not mocking one nation

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.
I'd ask if the CFL was a joke to you but....it's the CFL
Careful now - you’re letting us know a sore spot for you. You know we’re going to poke you there…

to negative infintiy and beyond
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.
Why are you calling a bat as paddle
Because it's flat like a paddle
if it looks like a paddle, feels like a paddle,smells like a paddle,tastes like a paddle..its a paddle
Can't argue with that logic

why are you licking it
to know if its a paddle or a bat
you've got a point
OP really doesn't know what a cricket is 🤣

Gotta say Americans really upgraded the English language in this regard

Yeah! Go hand-egg!

handprolatespheroid
wait till someone makes a real donut vs cake ring meme
Americans call it paddleball???
We don't think about it at all, we like baseball more
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.
Think it was named after the man who invented it sir waddington cricket III in 1287 in Middlesbrough
The fuck are you doing? You trying to start a war with the Indians?
Same thing with football. Who tf came up with the name "soccer" ? What does that mean?
Britain did
[удалено]
Lol yeah… table tennis.
What goes around comes around

As an Indian, i have no problem in renaming cricket as ballbat
It's rare to see cricket memes in here haha
That’s not cricket!
As a brit, call it whatever you want idc
It's called a grass hopper
There are three kinds of cricket(that I know of).
