I think he's talking about rounders, not cricket.

>At the risk of contributing to a thread hijack, did baseball in fact "devolve" or evolve from cricket or was it conceived more or less on its own? What fisherman cares where his bait comes from, as long as it gets a bite?

the whole of baseball fandom may be divided into two parts
But: what percentage of left handed fans don't care about statistics in late innings with runners in scoring position and the home team fewer than three runs behind?

Maybe he's just a cheap suit. The "scot" was a tax, wasn't it? So tax-free. The link's either broke or this proxy server's rejecting it. As it does so many, or threads with more than about 20 posts.

but with many views...
I wonder about some of the statistics of the board: fewest replies/most views; highest percentage of views and replies, etc...
Don't I recall something called the Stales Index? Surely it hasn't been that long ago...
