Not really. This is not a great advertisement for the sport.. This is fun for people who grew up watching these guys.

Really? I thought the whole deal was to try and bring cricket to America, expand the game etc. Otherwise why not just host it in India?

Difficult to charge $50 for the lowest priced tickets in India.

That's neither here nor there. Obviously in the USA, prices will be higher. Are the players involved being paid a particularly large amount, that requires such sharp fees? Or perhaps renting the pitch? It just strikes me as a bit off if they're doing this as nostalgia trip, why not play it somewhere more hospitable to cricket?

Yeah you aren't going to get any Maricans in to the game through this. Tell them as much as you like about how good these guys are but all they would see is some elderly gentlemen rolling it down at 70 mph.
Don't think they'l get in to it but if you wanna try it i'll recommend a league with AB,Kohli,Smith,Starc etc

Shoaib is so awesome. Needs to play all 3 games.

Actually really enjoying this. Missed the first dig, but Shoaib has looked genuinely good. 3rd rock to Kallis was a jaffa. Murali with his run out and just now beating Simmo. Even watching Amby of 10 paces bowling little outies was something (even if it was just imagining Sanga wouldn't dare pump him for two zacks back in the day).
