Football's penalties can take awhile to recognize, I still can't cal them all correctly.

Cricket is like any other sport. Your understanding depends on your exposure to it.

Well, there's a general lack of interest in sports limiting the amount I actually paid attention while being exposed to it..

Bleh.

NFL = National Football League? Is that the sport where they ram into each other and try to bash their brains out after a funny-shaped ball?

"failing to hit is again"

Look, I type my posts with the assumption you've been following the actual conversation I've been having with you.
Which you have.
Pfft.

Exposure coupled with interest:D .
