@notwillyoung86 @MetalcoreMagpie @StefanMauk Not sure what you're smoking over there but 3 of those are considered iconic cricket ovals globally.

@PDeplorabo @1WeakGuttedDog Rugby is NZ'snational sport. They have a little team over there called the 'All Blacks'. In Australia there is 4 codes of football. Australian Rules (AFL), Rugby League (NRL) , Rugby Union and Soccer/football (A League).

@magiligor @1WeakGuttedDog And yet, field hockey is more popular globally

@Mitchel61826836 @1WeakGuttedDog More countries play cricket than Baseball. The USA also plays cricket and its going to be at the LA Olympics in a T20 format. The US also managed to qualify for the T20 World Cup a couple of times.

@stephenRB4 American Football, Golf and the last quarter of the Collingwood vs Port Adelaide game last Saturday night.

@Theberni250 Europe has managed to host several World Cups in the past without issue and without sharing it with other countries

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@GamecocksDubs Australians have been doing it for years. Its called the Ashes.

@quesadaaa_ Australia is 4 weeks Annual leave . Oh and we get 'leave loading' as well (so a 17.5% allowance when we are on leave). If you work on a Saturday, Sunday, Public Holiday or overnight, you also get penalty rates too

@DraculaPresley Thats cute. Texas fits into some of our states multiple times.

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@PatsKam Meh. 35 degree day is warm. Try 32 degrees Celsius at 2am during a week long heatwave when the temperature goes beyond 40°c each day. Thats when you know its hot.

@BestinTesla @histofevery_yt2 Adelaide (and South Australia) were settled by free settlers

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@markschlereth Ahh American Football. Takes several hours to play the game and the actual game time could fit within half time of a Soccer or Australian Rules Football game. Come to think of it the Auskick kids at half time at an AFL game would probably provide more plays than the NFL

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@BestinTesla @histofevery_yt2 Baseball... only about 5 countries play it. Maybe come and play Australia in Cricket or Netball and see how you go. We'll even let the US Cricket treat play against our women's team...

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@KarlLindsey7 Spoken like a true American who hasnt got a clue. Aus v England rivrally goes back a few hundred years... heard of The Ashes?

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@Jordan_Patu Amateurs. If this is the best the US can come up with.

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@JammieWF @DorothyGrissom @bankertobuilder In England it would be the first turn. You're driving on the left hand side of the road in the UK.

[James Shelton @fred1976]

@Osteolith @bankertobuilder I have 4 roundabouts on my daily route before I hit my first major traffic light. I spend more time at the signalised intersection than negotiating the 4 roundabouts. This is during peak hour. You dont waste fuel as you're generally moving the whole time.
