And if one is to argue about how cricket is only played well by 8-9 countries, tell me, how many can actually compete for a medal in basketball? Its basically a free gold medal for USA isn't it? At least in T20 cricket there's 7 countries with serious odds of winning the Gold Medal (prob 10-1 would be the worst bet for top 7). I just forgot the West Indies would play as separate countries so has to qualify along with non-test playing nations. Also, think how so many ppl in America watch basketball at the Olympics.Exactly same kind of popularity will be in the sub-continent for cricket.

With West Indies being split into 7-8 nations, we can have up to 25 serious teams. I really think cricket deserves to get in...
