(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So as American's hate long sports and sports that end in ties (lets face it, you do) how well known is cricket? Even in England its not massive and it's the country it originated from. In America it's getting bigger with the massive uptaking to the T20 (twenty twenty) form of the game which is only 3 hours long (which I think is about the length of a basball game, correct me if i'm wrong).
So have you ever seen a cricket game in America or does it just not exist there?

That's quite good then. I personally could not live without my cricket and I don't see how most countrys don't even have a professional international cricket team. But it is a growing sport and I'm happy to hear canada are introducing it to schools and I'm sure one day the Canadian cricket team will be as good as their ice hocly team Winky Winky

ummm I think Cricket in the U.S. is right there next to Cheer-leading competitions...LOL Even Soccer isn't that popular I mean maybe now after the World Cup people will start liking it but I doubt either of these sports will make the Cross-Over into main stream sports in the U.S. I myself have seen like 1 Cricket game and I must admit I didn't like it to much.
