United States Style Cricket Returns to Flyover, America.

[3WE]

4 Bases
9 Innings
Games over in a few hours
Much lower scores (much fewer hits (less than 30% of the time) and a point requires a fairly significant sequence of hits and base advancement)
Approximate 90 degree in-play area from batter
No crazy wiket assembly
The final approach course for Flyover international airport, while close, is almost never overhead

This is not Iowa, but people will come.

The chances of achieving a desired trajectory when striking a sphere with a cylinder of a similar diameter are low. In most bat and ball games the "bat" has a relatively large, relatively flat surface. (Try playing tennis with baseball bats or table tennis with a piece of broom handle).
Not that I have anything against games with a higher chance factor.....
just saying

I forgot to mention: A fermented, CO2-laden, alcho-beverage and nice weather is essential to the spectator experience.

And, sadly, The Red-Winged Flyover's lost yesterday.
