If the form of cricket known as T20 [a game that takes about three hours to play] had been an available option when baseball was being adopted, then baseball would have withered away and T20 cricket would now be the big bat & ball game in the USA. I like baseball a lot and I don't much like T20 cricket [because of the way it differs from the more traditional longer forms of the game] but I would suggest that T20 is a superior bat & ball sport to baseball.

I am just beng neutral and objective about it, that's all.

Don't get me wrong, I love baseball and I found the difference between the Japanese approach to it and the approach in the Americas intriguing. I also once attended what I am pretty sure was a pro game of baseball in Australia between Perth and another city.

My grandfather was part of the US occupational forces or whatever they were called. He liked Kobe beef etc.
His sister married a Japanese American who was in one of those internment camps. He was half Japanese and half Russian. About 6 foot tall, always dressed 100 % western, talked real slow. Some thought he was Native American. When they'd have a family get together they'd often make homemade Japanese food. And it was out if this world. I love my Japanese cousuns.
