Uncle Sam's T20

[cricketspur]

Now the Yanks want a piece of the T20 pie....playing a tournament in a converted baseball stadium in NY in the Autumn..sounds good to me. Big South Asian community in North America, the APL should be popular...your thoughts?

YESSSSSSS.

Bring cricket to America, right now!

it might just bring lot of brown/south asian people to the ground, but i would love to see white american folks coming it enjoying it, that will make it big in USA

 

[angryangy]

too much t20 mate..this is really bad for test cricket

In a country that doesn't play Test cricket, it's somewhat irrelevant.

 

[srikarr12]

lets not call it cricket if its not proper mate...

Go tell the officials...no use telling us!!!:

Would be good if the players from the ICL would join this comp to help out some of the keen Americans that want to play cricket. Hope it works as cracking the American market would be an achievement.

 

[McLOVIN]

send some good looking players PLEASE! i dont want them to think that crickets played by ...

 

[Cricketman]

...the likes of Inzy .

Some of the ICL players are a bit unfit, tbh. Don't want cricket looking like a game of fatso's...

TBH, you're either underrating Inzi and his abilities of entertaining the masses. People go to see good cricket not how the player looks. Even though i got your point of stereotypes, what’s wrong with obese people playing cricket/sport?

 

[Cricketman]

Inzy's a great cricketer capable of entertaining,yeah. But the ICL has so many oldies, who have packed alot of pounds after retirement. We don't want to portray the game to the American crowd as a game which old, overweight people play. We still want it to look like the tough, physically demanding game it is.

So I just hope we get some younger guys in there to make it look its best is all.
