"My dad pulled up YouTube when I was young and that's how it started. To stop me bowling with a bent arm and no balls, he said, 'Bowl like Jeff Thomson and you won't have that problem'."
Fellow Americans, if you go to a Cricket match at a stadium and come in possession of the ball during the match, you are required to throw the ball back on to the field. And quickly.
You don't get to keep the ball. It ain't baseball.
Here. It's possible that this cricket match today could be the most-watched event ever to happen on US soil.
These matches regularly get hundreds of millions of viewers. Half a billion is often reported. I even saw a claim of 1 billion TV viewers for a game a few decades ago. I don't know if that was ever “confirmed”.
The time zone differenced might suppress the viewers in India and Pakistan for the live stream.
