"Then there's clicket. Or cricket. Or hoppers. Or whatever they call it. Thank the gods that be that it's foreign to North America."

And you'll be glad to know that it always will be. As there's a requirement for at least two functioning brain cells to understand its rules, and an attention-span exceeding that of a goldfish to watch a game, it's entirely unsuitable for North Americans. That's why North America has the greatly-simplified and shortened version of cricket known as Baseball (or as we call it here, "Cricket for The Brainless").
