It's catching on here in DC!
Key quotes:

Key reason it's not a bigger sport:
When all was said and done, the GWU undergrads beat the graduate students, 87 runs all out in 20 overs to 62 runs all out in 15.2 overs, which means nothing to your average American.

"How all of this will translate into performance on the field?"
Huh. I thought the performance was indoors. Not the kind of turf I was thinking of.

Comment deleted for overt use of terms "Sticky Wicket", "Dead Ball", "Droopy Bat" and "Switch Hitter".

Loudmouth, that explains why lately, when I watch the Sox, some of the players don't seem familiar.
