That game has literally nothing that looks like cricket

Unless you mean no one is watching

The population of Vimpeli likely doubles during a playoff match. The game is most popular in rural areas so the stands don't fit more than 2-6 thousand at a time to begin with. And in all fairness the regular Finnish crowd isn't loud by any standards, unless it's a big game.

Sorry dude, that was meant to be a dig at cricket and shrinking crowd numbers.

I have no beef with that game, I mean for outsiders the rules look random but it looks like a fun game to play, especially as a kid. American sports tend to have rules that cater to spectators' enjoyment and not what's the most fun for the players.

It's all good mate, no worries. I didn't interpret it as a jab but more like healthy banter. Besides this is pretty much the blueprint of the discussion when I bring pesäpallo up with non-finns :) or bigger rinks in hockey, progressive speeding tickets, salty licorice as a popular candy, you name it
