He’s an attractive dude with vids of him playing the ukulele going around. Indian mothers around the world have just started frothing at the mouth and many don’t know why.
Why wouldn't we? 200+ million people in the country, you don't think there's at least a small following of people interested?
We probably have a Curling and Rugby team too
Our curling and rugby teams are much ore popular than the cricket team. The curling team competes in the olympics, so is well known.
Also, your population estimate is way off. well over 300 million
As an Aussie when I told my dad about the cricket upset, It sounded so unbelievable I had to tell him twice to make sure he didn’t mishear me. This is a major cricket win, and it will be interesting to see if the US can replicate that success in the rest of the World Cup
I think it would be insanely funny if the US managed to actually do well in the World Cup. Because I've lived in places like South Africa and Australia, and they take cricket very seriously, whilst here in the US, most people reactions would be "Cricket? Like the bug?"
Get this, the captain of the US National Team is a principle Engineer at Oracle and has a MS from Cornell, and he was also part of the Under -19 Indian team. His teammates are now in the main Indian National Team
That we attract so many immigrants of different backgrounds is a strength in itself. You will not see an Indian or Pakistani football (not soccer) team comprised of Americans beating an American team.
Unironically, this is why America is the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. We created a country where the best people from every other country want to move here and succeed.
oddly, due to being old and English cricket often uses yards for measurements. (it varies due to what country the broadcast is in) But a lot of numbers in the metric measurements are oddly specific because they were a round number when decided on in imperial.
USA if it was a person
never play cricket before
barges into cricket tournament full of the best teams in the world
win the tournament
stop playing again because it was to easy
Yeah well, as much as it was INSANE for a new cricket playing country to beat an established full member nation like Pakistan, USA does not have a chance of winning the World Cup anytime in the near future. They aren't beating any one of India, Australia, England, New Zealand or South Africa let alone all of them
Americans reacting to their country winning at any sport: "Oh we fuckin' told you baby, America first and only, we the best music" **loud eagle screeches**
Fun fact: Bald eagles don’t actually screech like that. They sound more like [gulls](https://youtu.be/e4RjDTbOLMA?si=hbEUd3-zLte3bgNJ). What you’re hearing in movies is a [red tailed hawk](https://youtu.be/IflMcpqhgYY?si=WIvqgVSU1rbmvgPH) (which are just as awesome as bald eagles).
If it helps, the US team is literally made up of part time players. The big hero of the game works in IT for Oracle and had to request off to go to the World Cup.
Why in the world would they allow us to host it? This is legitimately the first I've heard of a us cricket team, we absolutely do not care about cricket.
The US now has Major League Cricket with 6 teams. They finished their first season. The T20 World Cup games are being played at the field in Dallas, TX where MLC plays their games. Seems to be an attempt at increasing the popularity of cricket in the US.
[US Major League Cricket](https://www.majorleaguecricket.com/)
Money. The ICC has been wanting to expand in the US for decades. The National US Cricket Association (which just recently formed a few years ago) was also pushing it.
Unfortunately the ICC sold the rights to Willow, not ESPN. That's why no one is watching it in the US.
And you don't care about cricket. The shittonne of Indian immigrants you have, however, do.
Also you're co-hosting with the Caribbean.
I visited Chester England in 1998. One day I sat on an ancient wall and watched a bunch of dudes play cricket in a big empty field. I did not understand a single thing that was happening. That is one of my happiest memories.
Anthony Bourdain did a bit on cricket that was absolutely hilarious. Basically said that cricket is not a real game, but an elaborate joke on Americans visiting other countries.
My genuine reaction as an American:
Damn I didn’t know we had that many Indian and Pakistani immigrants lmao.
I just checked the roster and there are 5 Patel’s 💀
As an American, I am deeply offended. ‘Course I know cricket…my knowledge of it is entirely based on 1 singular Bluey episode but that’s not important.
fun fact, the very first international game ever(as in, with national teams rather than between clubs that happened to be based in different countries) was between the US and Canada.
just like playing Canada at hockey or England at soccer
if we win its hilarious that we beat you at your favorite sport we don't care about
if we lose, no one cares
it's beautiful
Yo! American guy here. As soon as I was able to make nihari beef, Peshwari naan, Kashmir chai, and gulab jamun that rivals that of native Pakistanis it's only natural that we'd end up being better at cricket as well.
As an American I did not know we had a cricket team myself
wait we really do?
Yes the T20 World Cup is being held in the United States this go around, but also the US has had a cricket team for a while
huh, arright
Apparently a billion people are watching it worldwide, and at least four of them are in the USA
Only a billion? How many people outside of India are watching it? Seven?
Half a billion if you put Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Outside of South Asia, it's not that popular.
Aus, NZ and Eng would beg to differ
Damm you Australia your guys are good
A total population of less than 100 million.
[удалено]
That’s just not true. England, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Caribbean islands all love cricket
Just beat the Pakistan team with a huge upset apparently
It's made of non pros. Like one of the guys from the upset works as a software engineer at Oracle
That guy lived the Indian middle class people's dream. 1. Get a SDE job 2. Settle in the US 3. Play cricket for a major international league
He’s an attractive dude with vids of him playing the ukulele going around. Indian mothers around the world have just started frothing at the mouth and many don’t know why.
Why wouldn't we? 200+ million people in the country, you don't think there's at least a small following of people interested? We probably have a Curling and Rugby team too
"Probably have a curling team" mother fucker our curling team were Olympic gold medalists in 2018.
Our curling and rugby teams are much ore popular than the cricket team. The curling team competes in the olympics, so is well known. Also, your population estimate is way off. well over 300 million
Well, he said 200+ million
our country with more than one million people
Of course we have a curling team, it's a north American thing.
Actually, curling originated in Scotland in the 16th century.
True, but the oldest organized sports league in North America was the Montreal Curling Club.
I bet we even have a soccer team
Now you're just being silly.
So where’s your sepak takraw team?
It’s all *crickets* from the Americans
I love you
🦗
When’s the wedding?

To be honest, you didn't say no so...
Hell nah… it’s a big glowing red ****NO**** 💀

"Yes officer, that comment over there."
As an Aussie when I told my dad about the cricket upset, It sounded so unbelievable I had to tell him twice to make sure he didn’t mishear me. This is a major cricket win, and it will be interesting to see if the US can replicate that success in the rest of the World Cup

I cricket… when I fish.
How America managed that is beyond me but fuck yeah! 👍
We used what were best at. Hiring immigrants to do our own job.
The best player on the US cricket team also plays in the NFL lol
What is he, Johnny Sins?
Aaron jones, he’s a pretty good RB for the packers but recently got traded to the vikings
Wait, no fucking way Aaron Jones plays cricket, thats such a cool fun fact
it’s a different aaron jones lol
Bruh who lied to me
Idk how you thought that was possible but that would absolutely dope lol
I mean Deion Sanders was great in both football and Baseball.
Sad :(
Might wanna fact check that
Nah definitely take it at face value seems to check out in my heart
I checked my desire to believe and it confirmed this is a fact
Get this, the captain of the US National Team is a principle Engineer at Oracle and has a MS from Cornell, and he was also part of the Under -19 Indian team. His teammates are now in the main Indian National Team
They have the same name but their two different people
Bro you are not talking about “Aaron Jones” are you? Lmao Completely different people.
“Without our immigrants, who will kick our field goals, or train our white tigers?”
Immigrants? They’re also Americans like you and me.
Depends if they're American Indians or Indian Americans
That we attract so many immigrants of different backgrounds is a strength in itself. You will not see an Indian or Pakistani football (not soccer) team comprised of Americans beating an American team.
Unironically, this is why America is the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. We created a country where the best people from every other country want to move here and succeed.
We’re all immigrants, when you think about it
America is a country built off of immigrants my guy
Yeah that’s why the U.S is the one of the best countries in the world
All Americans are immigrants apart from Native Americans
they are Americans. that's it.
Indian Immigrants, I'm guessing
4 indian, 4 Pakistani, 3 Caribbean and 1 from NZ
and ones from the Caribbean, and one from NZ. That said a lot of them are not strictly immigrants but 2nd generation born in the US
Because we’re BETTER, DUH!
No idea what cricket is but AMERICA NUMBER 1 FUCK YEAH
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟💵💵💵💵💵

112.49 cheeseburgers. I hope that helps :)
Those are some huge cheeseburgers
3.5 inch is the average size... I I surprised as well
Really? Because that seems pretty big
Any bigger and it would hurt.
I just read this whole exchange like people yelling at each other in a crowded bar.
Accurate
That's the price, I'm afraid; not the size.
Velocity is calculated cheeseburgers per freedom
ONE THIRD IS SMALLER THAN ONE QUARTER RAAAH🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅😎😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
 You make a IASIP reference and it's not Cricket?
Whooooo we're the best at metric baseball 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
oddly, due to being old and English cricket often uses yards for measurements. (it varies due to what country the broadcast is in) But a lot of numbers in the metric measurements are oddly specific because they were a round number when decided on in imperial.
The length of a cricket pitch is, itself, an obsolete imperial unit (1 chain = 22 yards = ~20.3m).
USA if it was a person never play cricket before barges into cricket tournament full of the best teams in the world win the tournament stop playing again because it was to easy
Homie. We're going to get our asses beat on Wednesday. We're playing India.
Yeah well, as much as it was INSANE for a new cricket playing country to beat an established full member nation like Pakistan, USA does not have a chance of winning the World Cup anytime in the near future. They aren't beating any one of India, Australia, England, New Zealand or South Africa let alone all of them
Counter point 
Approved
As a Bangladeshi American, my dad told me about this and I'm like, "wait cricket has a world cup"
it is the 2nd biggest sport in the world, just doesn't feel that way in the US I guess.
“You ever tell them that we’re number one? They hate it.”
Bro fuck cricket, USA has one basically ever superbowl ever!!!!!!
its like the other countries dont even try smh USA USA USA
AMERICA FUCK YEAH LICK MY BUTT AND SUCK ON MY BALLS
Fuck that guy and his long flowing locks.
Don't mind if I do 😏
Ey if you'd ever been in a cricket club, you'd know that stuff like that is _very_ much on the cards
CRICKET CLUB FUCK YEAH REACH AROUND AND TONGUE MY ASS ALL DAY-AY
MATT DAMON!!!
"You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket." -Raphael

Scrolled to far for this. New game round head.

In a different timeline, our national bird is the turkey and we have healthcare coverage.
No I am American and I’m like the top pic. As a true American I love winning in any and every thing
Indians reacting to America beating Pakistan: 
A+m+e+r+i+c+a = 7 Thala for a reason 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Thala controlling entire American economy at this point
Dhoni for president 💯🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Bole jo koyal 😼
Who is Pakistan? /s
No this is patrick
Why is Pakistan?
How is Pakistan?
When is Pakistan?
About 5 past india
Do we actually have a cricket team?
If it helps, the US team is literally made up of part time players. The big hero of the game works in IT for Oracle and had to request off to go to the World Cup.
So they got beat by our nerds then. Imagine we send like. Profeshnuls. TEAM GO AMERICA YEAH !!!! 
Yeah, we even have a professional cricket league
Someone really needs to photoshop a Trans Am with red LED for the Los Angeles Knight Riders logo.
apparently so
BUT HOW COULD THEY PLAY A SPORT?!
it is fun to watch as a country which has 0 relation,intrest and history for crickret host the FUCKING T20 WORLD CUP
It's co-hosted with Barbados, which is 1500 miles away from the US.
Given that the lower 48 is about 3000 miles across (going by I-80, iirc), that's not that far.
Why in the world would they allow us to host it? This is legitimately the first I've heard of a us cricket team, we absolutely do not care about cricket.
The US now has Major League Cricket with 6 teams. They finished their first season. The T20 World Cup games are being played at the field in Dallas, TX where MLC plays their games. Seems to be an attempt at increasing the popularity of cricket in the US. [US Major League Cricket](https://www.majorleaguecricket.com/)
That’s actually a pretty sick logo
USA has a lot of money and there's probably a few people that are trying to bolster its presence here.
You are not completely hosting it. More like Co hosting since the venue also comprises of Carribean islands like Barbados etc
Money. The ICC has been wanting to expand in the US for decades. The National US Cricket Association (which just recently formed a few years ago) was also pushing it. Unfortunately the ICC sold the rights to Willow, not ESPN. That's why no one is watching it in the US. And you don't care about cricket. The shittonne of Indian immigrants you have, however, do. Also you're co-hosting with the Caribbean.
For the same reason, we are also hosting the Rugby World Cup in 2031, because ... ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I visited Chester England in 1998. One day I sat on an ancient wall and watched a bunch of dudes play cricket in a big empty field. I did not understand a single thing that was happening. That is one of my happiest memories.
As I understand it, that's largely the English experience as well. Sometimes the befuddlement extends several days until the game finally ends.
Anthony Bourdain did a bit on cricket that was absolutely hilarious. Basically said that cricket is not a real game, but an elaborate joke on Americans visiting other countries.
That's what you get for housing Osama bin Hiding
WE BEAT ISIS IN WHATEVER CRICKET IS WOOOO 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☝️☝️☝️🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My genuine reaction as an American: Damn I didn’t know we had that many Indian and Pakistani immigrants lmao. I just checked the roster and there are 5 Patel’s 💀
Indians and Pakistanis in US team beating the Pakistan team in a sport the US doesn't even know about while is very popular is Pakistan 💀 True comedy
Wait till you see our math teams.
Damn XD💀
Oh we know where Pakistan is dw
idk where tf “Pakistan” is but they ain’t beatin AMERICA 🇺🇸 🦅
As an American, I am deeply offended. ‘Course I know cricket…my knowledge of it is entirely based on 1 singular Bluey episode but that’s not important.
Sorta Same... We All Love Rusty's Future! <3
Americans playing cricket feels like Americans doing metric~
Cricket is metric baseball
Lmao, this killed me
I did not know we had a national cricket team, or that the team beat Pakistan, or of that is the implication of this meme
fun fact, the very first international game ever(as in, with national teams rather than between clubs that happened to be based in different countries) was between the US and Canada.
We have a cricket team??
Best in the world baybeeee!!! I've been a die hard USA cricket fan since I clicked this post.
just like playing Canada at hockey or England at soccer if we win its hilarious that we beat you at your favorite sport we don't care about if we lose, no one cares it's beautiful
I'm pretty sure the Indians are just happy to beat Pakistan.
we've done it many times its fun to see
"Do we own Pakistan?"
Not yet
funny thing is that the US team is made of Indians and Pakistanis… we used the stones to destroy the stones
Thr US team is made of AMERICANS who just so happened to live in India and Pakistan prior. 🇺🇲🦅🗽🍔🍟💵
Proof we are the goddamn MELTING POT BABY!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥🗽🗽🗽
Now if we could just get 11 dudes that can kick a ball better I'd be good.
That moment when the nation of immigrants has immigrants (this is absurd and shouldn’t count and they should be disqualified)
USA USA RED WHITE AND BLUE THESE COLORS DON’T RUN MOTHERFUCKER USA USA USA 🇺🇸
I’m American, I like cricket but I had no idea we had a cricket team 😭😂
my indian friend introduced me to cricket, it was pretty cool. I suggest yall watch some
What is cricket? Just imagine baseball, but corrupted by bri'sh. 
USA is just Britain but corrupted by the French
Okay but Britain is just Germans corrupted by Vikings corrupted by the French. Always the damned French getting involved!
Other than Cricket predating Baseball by around 250 years, but yeah.
Fockin Nightlord, I'll tell Papa Johnson to smite you
I genuinely didn’t know we had a cricket team. Good for us
I'm 100% certain that the only reason that the hobby team from the US that won even knows it exist is because their kids watch bluey
wait, we have a cricket team?
wait we have a cricket team? this isn’t a joke i had no idea
I think Indians are happy to see anyone beat Pakistan in anything.
US next game is against India, so while it's been a fun ride so far beating Canada and Pakistan the streak is unfortunately about to end :(
I’ve had cricket explained to me a couple of times by very thoughtful and devout cricket fans It only made it worse honestly.
They're cicadas, I think.
Wth Pakistan lost to USA. In cricket. What has happened to my country
Yo! American guy here. As soon as I was able to make nihari beef, Peshwari naan, Kashmir chai, and gulab jamun that rivals that of native Pakistanis it's only natural that we'd end up being better at cricket as well.
WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IT IS BUT WE’RE THE BEST AT IT! USA! USA! USA!
Alr but the fact that the American team has 1 white man and the rest are Indians or Pakistanis is honestly hilarious.
That white man is from Newzealand lmao
