Yeah, this is probably the defining story about Americans and cricket. From a Radio Times interview with Gwyneth Paltrow (who is married to Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin):

“I try to understand cricket, really, I try and I try,” she smiles. “Chris is a big fan and one day, I was like, ‘Right, I’m going to get into it,’ and I sat down and I was watching. And watching. And I carried on watching and then I said to him, ‘Look, I am enjoying the game, but is anything ever going to happen?’

And he said, ‘Is anything going to happen? These are the highlights!’”
