Americans just don't get Cricket

[Gsxrnz]

Proof that Americans don't understand cricket. 

 

Jimmy Neesham, a New Zealand test cricketer had his bat taken off him by U.S. customs for inspection. 

 

The neanderthals then drilled a series of large holes in it looking for drugs before giving it back to him.

Great place to hide drugs.

and so Thai related or just an excuse to cll americans "neanderthals"....

I prefer my crickets deep-fried, with a bit of sea salt...  Oh wait....

[slipperylobster]

Who cares about a dumb old flat bat anyways? The holes should make it lighter, and now it can at least be used for something interesting....like swatting flies and such.

I think the latter.

For your information, neanderthals can not use power tools, so the customs agents in the USA are not neanderthals. 

 

They are Cro-Magnon.

Turns out it wasn't Neesham, it was Lendl Simmons.

I read about a guy's bagpipes being destroyed.

I am an American, and I admit it - I do not understand cricket.

 

I lived in Brisbane for two years, and my friend (mate?) dragged me to a cricket match at the "Gaba". I knew I was in trouble when I looked at the Aussie next to me, and he had several Sunday papers, his phone and computer, and kept getting up every half hour for a coffee. These games go on forever.

 

This game moves too slowly for a Neandrathal

Whilst I agree with our OP, it's not Thai related (not the Neanderthal bit).

 

Sorry.
