        • lordmike, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Hey, don't generalize... I think Cricket's cool (although I still have no clue how it's played, no matter how much I try to figure it out), but, I am one of those "elitist" Obama supporters. ;-)
  • Calcheesmo, on 04/22/2008, -12/+2effin' America...haha, that's ridiculous...Golf and fencing are next.
    • D3koy, on 04/22/2008, -0/+11Have you ever seen fencing before? It's ***** swords! They don't need anything to make it more awesome...not that I'd decline half (or wholly) naked women...
      • Calcheesmo, on 04/22/2008, -1/+9I wouldn't quite call fencing "swords" they are more like tv antenna than swords...now if they were fighting with claymores, then I'd agree.
        • Gir53457, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8one doesn't actually fight with a claymore, you simple ask your opponent to hold it and their arms fall off.
        • Croecop, on 04/22/2008, -5/+2That's what happened to your mom when I had her hold my *****
      • mackii, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1Have you seen the episode of rome where marc antony gets naked women to sword fight for him?
        seriously
        naked chicks make everything cooler

  • TypicalAfrican, on 04/22/2008, -41/+372 Virgins await the victory of revolution against Bush. I am ***** sick of the oppressive government. I would gladly move to India instead of the Amerika
    • ThePenrod, on 04/22/2008, -0/+5Dugg down; it's not that I agree with the current administration, it's just that I dislike non-sequiturs.
      • TypicalAfrican, on 04/22/2008, -8/+2Someone needs to wipe the taste of salty Bush balls out of their mouth. Quickly.
        • Gir53457, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4One doesn't get much more American than living in "Min-er-so-der".
        • ThePenrod, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1You know, even if that was true, at least I know what topic I'm posting on.

  • JoshL75, on 04/22/2008, -1/+67Redskins, Indians, India. . . someone is confused.
  • jon926, on 04/22/2008, -5/+9redskins cheerleaders kick ass. go skins
    • wellyuk, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3From that brief glimpse of them, they all look a bit orange. Are they supposed to look like that?
      • worldchanger, on 04/22/2008, -0/+4that's what happens when cheerleaders live in the north; they wipe their tans on.
  • dtele, on 04/22/2008, -2/+30Cricket on Digg?
    Cricket news from an american website ?
    Im buying a lottery ticket today.
    LOL - All the references in the article to the other major news agencies are not real links to them at all... they go to washingtonpost page. Cheap.
    • Cenobite, on 04/22/2008, -3/+2Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
      • SkinnyPuppy, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8It has nothing to do with Cricket and everything to do with some sexy American cheerleaders shaking their asses.
        In Bangalore, no less. Could the name be any better?
        • prophetpimp, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Hey. you outsource your call centre jobs to us. so the least we could do was outsource our cheerleader work back to America. :p
    • cazlar, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I agree, good to see cricket hit the front page. I'm not sure if the cricket world cup final even made it there. Apparently all it takes is for someone to flash some skin though...


  • ShempRider, on 04/22/2008, -0/+24FTA:"The cheerleaders are heroes in their ability to make people excited," exclaimed the merry Kerala, a 30-year-old doctor of traditional ayurvedic medicine, as friends crowded around him, cheering in agreement. "They have great spirit."

    Yeah, "great spirit". That's what I'm looking at.
  • davydany, on 04/22/2008, -5/+17this is proof that indians are horny *****! I'm proud to be an Indian NOW!
  • davidrools, on 04/22/2008, -7/+2video or it didn...oh wait
  • isage, on 04/22/2008, -1/+10Wait a second, weren't Redskins really Indians, who were mistaken by Columbus for Indians? Blows my mind...
  • twig1320, on 04/22/2008, -4/+3Is this for real? I was seriously looking for the theonion.com tag...
  • gonegirlgone, on 04/22/2008, -0/+27Squeezing through the gates ... in steamy evening heat, Hashim Kerala made no attempt to hide his reason for coming...
    • ShempRider, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6ok, you went there...in a literary tone no less. Thumbs up.
  • f4nt0m4s, on 04/22/2008, -0/+19I'm pretty sure we would have won the Iraq war in like a week if we deployed cheerleaders there. *****: something we can all agree on.
  • Mist0r_Wiggles, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8American booty shaking at it's finest. now that's being diplomatic
  • warragul, on 04/22/2008, -5/+4Stand back... I'll say it...
    It's just not cricket!
    And I hope it doesn't spread. Cricket has enough image problems right now.
    Besides, we don't need no stinking cheerleaders. As if Indian cricket crowds need gee-ing up.
    • tejas57, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6i don't agree. the indian 20/20 league is one of the best things to happen to cricket - as a matter of fact 20/20 in general is the best thing since day nighters
  • darthpaul88, on 04/22/2008, -8/+4i submitted the same exact article.
  • Damovisa, on 04/22/2008, -2/+6FTA: "It condenses nearly a week of match play into three hours, with shorter "overs," which are similar to innings in baseball."
    *sigh*
    The overs are the same length (still 6 balls) - there are fewer overs.
    • estate, on 04/22/2008, -0/+6I know what you mean. The article was clearly written by someone who has no idea how the game works.
    • digjam, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2Its amazing to see how they write whatever they want without verifying details....
      First of all the longest version of the game is 5 days..not a week
      Secondly, the most popular version( one day international) is 6 hrs...which has been condensed to 3 hrs....the rules are totally diff form 5 day game to 1 day game
      Secondly, over != innings in baseball...there are only 2 innings in cricket
    • NickPet, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0THANK-YOU!!

      There are other ppl on Digg who actually know what SHOULD have been written.
  • cyclopssmiley, on 04/22/2008, -1/+6RIP Sean...
  • kedarme, on 04/22/2008, -0/+8cricket on digg front page? is the world get smaller or what?? no wait theres skin flashing....

    • digjam, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1I would like to know who this TV pundit is......they cant just write whatever they want!
      • Incman, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0True. That 'pundit' needs to go see some Bollywood films to get a glimpse of Indian skin.
