I think its because our World Championship is based on a one day event where the World Series for Baseball could go up to 7 games.hatcher said:Really? Ask them how good a keeper Messi is, or how good a pitcher Albert Pujols is.
Not really the point. They're on the same pitch/field at the same time, playing the same game.Fetisoff said:Would they see Messi in goal, or Pujols pitching in 50% of the games they watch?

Hushovd's Tour performance was better than anything I've seen so far from Cavendish this season.Boardslide said:+1 And for the record just how many times did we see last years WC cross the line with his hands in the air? And for that matter the previous WC as well.
Cricket, decathlon, modern pentathlon, tennis if you consider surfaces, and that's just from the top of my head.Fetisoff said:- for the fact that in other sports people play only roles/positions that they are good at.

Not a particularly bold statement, considering it's early May. And unless your name's Boonen, Wiggins or Nibali, you could say that about every rider in the peloton.El Pistolero said:Hushovd's Tour performance was better than anything I've seen so far from Cavendish this season.
