Probably the cricket match.

Australia beat the entire U.S. team with 1 batsman.
The second highest scorer for the U.S. was errors by the aussie bowlers.

Apparently this was pretty bad according to my cricket loving friends.

One day cricket has a maximum of 50 overs..

Australia won the coin toss and sent the US in to bat first to make it a short day at work.

The US were all out for 65, Australia got the required 66 runs in 7 overs.

Bit of a blood bath..

It's cricket. Who the fuck cares.

(And before you even start, there are plenty of non-American sports I like, so piss off.)

Too often it seems it is the peaceful and innocent who are slaughtered. In this a lesson may be found that it may not be prudential to be either too peaceful or too innocent. One does not survive with wolves by becoming a sheep.

Cricket has the highest percentage of suicides of previous players out of any sport. What's up with that? Is cricket that stressful?

A bat is a bat...even if it's flat!
