Ha ha, I actually learned the rules of cricket on a cruise ship from an Aussie. It was funny because the Australians, the people from India and the West Indies all said that the others didn’t know what they were talking about. I’m by no means an expert but have a working knowledge of what’s happening and I kinda like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallies Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 ESPN's creative vignettes about players, situations, etc. are just dreck. The original format covered the range of sports nationally with some nods to international athletics; acceptable in that segments were short and to the point. Today's bird walks into the forest of statistics, social affairs and such are just too much for long-time listeners/watchers, e.g., the Beats segment.

It's much more English Premiership than "European soccer" in general. For anyone interested in either, I wouldn't look to ESPN for information in any event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
