American Football fans warned against dangerous excitement of watching cricket

American Football fans have been warned off cricket as they might find it too exciting this morning.
Doctors are concerned that fans of Gridiron might find cricket ‘too thrilling’ and suffer heart attacks from the nerve-shreddingly fast paced game. Cricket, the only sport with a tea-break, is regarded as too dangerously fast-moving and adrenaline-fuelled for people who watched last night’s Super Bowl.
Although spectators are known to doze off during test cricket, medical experts have warned this might cause undue stress to people enthralled by a game whose highlight was a performance by Coldplay.
In order to prevent Denver Broncos fans being overwhelmed by the comparatively lightning-quick play, cricket authorities are planning several changes to the rules including taking advert breaks between every ball, and asking players to walk rather than run when they get a hit.
