for those living in US, can you imagine going to cricket games into stadiums as nice as the baseball stadiums here?
what kind of steps do you think ICC should take to spread cricket among the americans?

It's not gonna happen... baseball is not even that popular in the US anymore... and they think it's too long.. even though it's only 3 hours long... do you think they are gonna watch an ODI which is 9 hours long or something like that? The only way for cricket to become even a minor sport in the US is if they only introduce a shorter version of the game... like 20 overs.... 50 overs is not gonna happen... only people who will be interested will be expatriates from South Asia.
