Does anyone miss other sports from back home such as 8-ball, 9-ball, snooker or cricket?

I would really like to see snooker come across the pond I can watch 9-ball if i'm going through the channels at the right time but I do miss the crucible action.
Not seen it on the TV over here but have seen people playing cricket in the park and there is a snooker/billiards hall near me

Yeah cricket seems to have been brought over to winnipeg by the 'east' indian folk.

I have seen 2 snooker tables in winnipeg so far both were in the same retirement building!!!

I'd much rather play than watch. I'm not too bad for a "girl". My dad was always watching snooker on tv and he taught me 9 ball as well. I'm not very much into snooker, but I do love rugby.
