It occurs to me that there are people who do not understand why this is the greatest moment in sport this year.

People who don't understand #cricket.

Poor bastards.

@andrewplord tragic to think people are missing out on the thrill of watching it happen.

I know all the words in that headline, but I couldn't tell you what it means. 😁

The cricket player hit the ball out of the field earning six points for that hit and taking his total contribution to his team’s score to over two hundred points which was enough points to win the match for his team.

Got it. I can watch cricket and generally know how it's played but I've never understood the scoring system. I've also never met anyone who knew how to score it and could explain it. It's almost like you are born knowing this information or not.

@andrewplord @jamie I feel the same about gridiron. 🤪

Another way of putting it is "Maxwell ascended to the level of Godhood."
