Let’s be honest here: we have no idea what cricket really consists of. We know batters wear masks that resemble Major League Baseball catchers gear; they use a wooden stick shaped like a paddle that reminds us of a nun’s favorite tool for discipline; and Asia is mad (like mad cow) for the game. This basically means we pay no attention to it whatsoever. But now they have our attention because the Washington Redskins cheerleaders were exported to India, becoming the first American cheerleaders invited to the Indian Premier League.
11 Washington Redskins cheerleaders were imported to provide entertainment for the Indian Premiere League, the richest cricket tournament in the world. They will train a group of Indian women who will become the country’s first home-grown cheerleading troupe. Here, practicing before the beginning of the debut game in Bangalore, India.
Can’t Bollywood movies be used for training? Obviously India recognizes America’s chicas got the skills to entice Men’s thrills. Boom shaka laka.
Who needs Dane Cook? Can someone get this guy on a stage, stat?

You Americans are a crazy bunch of people. i still don’t get football sport thing still. I mean, u guys were so ignorant and self-centered that u guys didn’t even check to see if there was already a sport called football before naming ur sport the same name? Anyways, what is football? i find it weird that u gotta catch the ball coming from inbetween another man’s crounch. Also, its as boring as baseball as u guys tons of timeouts and cuts, no flow in the game what-so-ever!
Anyways, cricket is not entirelly in asia, only cricket mad countries here play them, not the whole asia man! India, Pakistan and a few more are really playing them. My country, Malaysia, we do have a cricket national team, but its only for losers who don’t play football, oh sorry, i mean soccer!
So please, don’t label Asia as the only teams that play cricket, there is also, England, South Africa, West Indies (wherever that is!) and Australia/ New Zealand.
