And this is why we love #Cricket
And this is why half the world doesn't get it.
5 day test match at Adelaide, Australia vs West Indies.
Australia wins the toss and elects to bowl, prompting lengthy and arcane discussion about the grass on Adelaide Oval, the time of year, the cloud cover, humidity, how Bradman bowled first at Adelaide in 1934 and paid the price, can West Indies defence cope with leg spin.
And the game hasn't started yet.
Ah, #Cricket.
