Oh my god you're right.

I'm sorry but I don't think this belongs in the sub. This is just a pie chart, and not a particularly well-executed one at that. Why are misses and saves distinguished in the pie chart but then lumped together into one percentage? Why not include the other percentages from your data source (shots that hit the frame and shots that missed entirely)?

Not my problem if you can't read.

My point is that most of the world doesn't understand cricket, so people should stop getting buttmad every time there are confused comments on cricket posts on r/sports. I don't know why that's apparently such a controversial position.

Most of the world doesn't understand cricket.

In most of the world.

I don't think most people in the world would, no. Hence the confusion any time there's a cricket post on r/sports.

I'm actually correct.

In cultural terms, I mean. Like if you said "the quarterback threw a touchdown pass" to a random person in the world, there's a good chance they'll know what you mean. If you said "the batsman was bowled LBW" odds are they'll think you're having a stroke.

I'm right, actually.

American football is honestly much less niche than cricket globally. Pick a random person in the world and I reckon there's a better chance they can tell you what a touchdown is than a wicket.

>Its a major sport in all primarily anglophone countries except the US and Canada

And Scotland and Ireland. In the Anglophone world it's pretty much confined to Wales, certain regions of England, Australia, and New Zealand. Not really a huge surprise that a relatively niche sport is confusing to people seeing it for the first time.

Tbf it's only a major sport in like <10 countries. Just happens that 3 of those countries make up 1.8 billion people.

I knew Reddit could find a way to make this about electoral politics.
