Re: Move over Yankees? New York students take up...cricket LOL...or as a wireless cell phone service provider Exactly. Well-to-do, country club type. Kinda like how golf was pre-1990's.

Re: Move over Yankees? New York students take up...cricket It would definitely help, but I dont think any media execs are gonna be exposing it to the US anytime soon. Not that much interest here. Kids in the US have so many other options, when it comes to sports. Add on the short...

Re: Move over Yankees? New York students take up...cricket What kind of exposure? If you're talking about media exposure, it won't happen anytime soon because cricket is not a "hot topic" since very few in the US understand the sport, let alone have the patience to watch it.

Re: Move over Yankees? New York students take up...cricket Now we just need to get the colleges in the US to get some NCAA cricket teams together, which would give the high school kids an incentive to learn to play the game. That would get the ball rolling.

Re: ICC suspends USA Cricket Association Sure left fielders have life/death situations. How about diving for a fly ball to save a pitchers no hitter? Or climbing over the wall to catch a potential game winning home run from the other team? OK so if DHs cant run or field then we wont train...

Re: ICC suspends USA Cricket Association Name 3 pitchers: Mike Hampton (career 15 home runs, batted .320 in 2005) Rick Rhoden (career 9 home runs, batted .375 in 1980 and is a scratch golfer) Babe Ruth (need I say more) Also, most DHs are players who formerly had fielding positions, so...

Re: Big Brother Cricket?? "Most of the time he had no thoughts, but now and then he had bad ones." --Nietzsche You're one to talk timmyj51:rolleyes: Nice of you to hide behind someone elses quote rather than explain yourself. Hopefully you've learned your lesson by now because no one...

Big Brother Cricket?? Did anyone else read about this?? http://www.buzzle.com/articles/125805.html I actually think this would be a great idea here in the US. Only instead of getting regular folks on the program, get 20 to 30 celebrities/athletes to go at it and become "American Cricket...

Re: Save the Mexican Wave! :eek: You can get arrested for doing the Wave?? This is a joke right?? No doubt this will get the attention of the media here in the US. From what I was told, the Wave was invented in Mexico, prior to the US starting to use it in a mass scale. Word has it, prior...

Re: India and Australia may play ODI series in New York The San Diego Polo Club is a HUGE area and could easily host a cricket match or two at the same time. http://www.surfcup.com/images/PoloFieldsAerial2002.jpg BTW, for you rugby fans, the USA Sevens are in San Diego in Feb. Should...

Re: soccer: the anti-hero sport Dont forget: a hockey game when a player beats the heck out of the other team's goon and then scores 3 goals for a hat trick.

Re: only Yanks can revitalize world cricket Yes, 20/20 cricket in the US will have to planned in such a way that it does not step on the toes of the "baseball elite". That would be stupid and detrimental to the sport of cricket. But I think once the majority of the American public accepts...

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay Whether you like it or not, soccer has failed both the way it has been run here in the US and categorically in the USA, many many many many many many times in the past. Yes, cricket has failed in the US, BUT has 20/20 ever been given an opportunity, a chance...

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay If it hasn't been a failure then why do they keep coming out with newer versions every other year that have patches/updates in them? Because the older ones are failures. Just like the NASL, and not too long from now, MLS.

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay I do have the credibility because it is a true statement. Lets take an analogy here. Lets make cricket = DOS Operating System and soccer = MICROSOFT WINDOWS . MICROSOFT WINDOWS is way ahead in years than DOS. Correct? Has WINDOWS ever failed? Yes. More...

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay I never said "because", I said "and". If you're going to quote someone, do it right. Twisting it around to try and benifit your argument isnt going to work.

Re: only Yanks can revitalize world cricket 162 games per team, sorry about that.

Re: only Yanks can revitalize world cricket I disagree. I think baseball would love it. Keep in mind there are 162 games in a season in baseball. If you build a schedule where fans of baseball can go to cricket games when the home teams are away, I think it would work. And I think both...

Re: Twenty/20 - its here to stay Sure they are. LPGA and WTA are womens professional leagues. You said nothing in your argument about womens "team" professional leagues. I never said womens AVP volleyball was a POWERHOUSE league in the US dominating everything else, like you make it out...
