Nope. It's a bit different from baseball...

Yea, I figured!
I guess I'll need to watch it to find out about it.

Still, 5 or so games between only 2 countries seems really silly.
For any sport!

I could say the same about soccer. I don't understand it but I understand cricket.

I understand association football, even though I don't follow it. I have no clue what cricket is about (but we don't really have cricket here in US).

 

[STARGATE]

What's ODI?

Oh yea!
What is it Chetan?

long time no see. Figured I'd drop by to see if anyone was still keeping this thread active - and it appears things are alive and well!

Hope you guys are doing good!

Hey, I remember you! Long time no see. Hope you're doing well.

Yea, since we don't play that in M?xico or the places I've lived in the states, I just don't know anything about it.

It stands for One Day International
There is basically a day of cricket played. where games last for 8 hours if both teams are good. If the team is bad and all get out then they can be shorter matches. There are 5 ODI matches played over 5 weeks.

It isn't if you know how the games of cricket are. Its a bit unpredictable since people expected India to lose the third match but they made a comeback. Some teams like to assess the other team before going hard and that's what India did, they flexed their muscle in the third match( that was a bit stupid though. Shoulda gone on the attack midway through the second match) so I mean one match cannot decide anything 5 matches are a reasonable amount of matches besides its one game every week so its not that bad.

Do the same two countries play in each 5 ODI matches, or are there different countries playing in each of the 5 matches?

Same two, think of it as a two team tournament.

So does that mean India and NZ are the 2 best countries in the sport of cricket?

No no, its just a series between 2 countries for example Australia is playing England at the same time NZ is playing India. I don't know how many other countries are doing an ODI series in the rest of the world lol, I only care about NZ and India;P

It will be forever preserved in the archived databases of Android Central. Chatter is forever. Chatter is joy. Chatter is life. Chatter is eternal. /cult

There's always chatter in the batcave...

Blizzard is apparently over, but no school tomorrow. So far we've had class 3 times out of 6 scheduled classes for my Monday/Wednesday night course. Yech.

Okay. So they can play from, lets say 3 hours, up to 8?
5 times once a week?
And that doesn't feel extenuating and silly? :what:

I'm sorry but I don't see how 5 matches are reasonable. I guess for hardcore, really hardcore people on any sport that would be reasonable, but really think about it.

5 games of the same, once a week and prolonged periods of time?
Sorry but no, hell no!

Anyway, I respect that you really, really love this game.
I now realize that cricket isn't for me. Definitely not!

Hmm... lost my day job, only working part time right now (and trying to figure out how to make a part time income cover a wife, and 2 step kids). Still rockin the Gnex - looking at spring for a upgrade. waiting for this brutal winter to end, other then that - not much.

Been better - but still on the right side of the flowers rather then underneath them! Been a rough couple months but I'm still alive and that's what counts
