They only show the world cup on satellite instead of looking for deals to broadcast on niche PPV channels on cable which more people have. Their production values on the US feed are atrocious. It makes the game seem even duller. The stadiums during the last World Cup were empty and seemed to lack any passionate fans. No half time shows broadcast giving the casual viewers an opportunity to catch up to the players in the game.</p> Anyway, the ICC does an awful job promoting cricket in the US.

I think the US needs a couple of genuinely talented overseas players to put together a national side that’s competitive even at the associate level. Surely Stanford can afford putting a few also-rans from the rest of the world on his payroll.

I'm only about forty or so pages into it, but it is a very well-written book so far. Hope it gets a little more press.</p> I’m in agreement with those who thought of “Netherland” when they read this post.

His team and the three other teams in his league had quite a few non-desis from the US and not from the cricket loving nations. The interest in cricket peaked so much that the small town of morrisville decided to sponsor a league for both the young kids and the teenagers. I definitely think it is slowly catching on - most of it is just plain ignorance about the game and ofcourse the slow pace. The 20-20 format should certainly help and like you said Cricket as an olympic sport will only make it better for the game!</p> My little 15 yo brother just finished his local Junior cricket league with a championship trophy that too in a small town in North Carolina.
