Countries you wish were really good at/really cared about cricket

My country, Guyana, be representing South America in cricket. We should definitely have a team in the LA 2028 Olympics

Sadly I don’t think it works like that, I think the Olympics treats the whole of the Americas as one continent

USA and Japan for me


Japan because I love watching them play soccer so I assume they'd bring something new to Cricket as well.



USA just because it's the bloody USA. Imagine if they became a force in cricket, I'm not talking have it replace baseball but have it at least like MLS is to NFL. Imagine a world cup over there, dat money and media coverage

Yet, the opportunity of the t20 WC being part staged in the US was wasted. By all accounts, they were only chasing the rich expat Indian community to pay a fortune to watch games. Funnily enough I chatted about that with a mate of Pakistani origin. He went over for the Ind-Pak match and was astonished to find out the ticket prices. He hardly disagreed with my musing that I said just above. I have cousins who live over in the US, and although hardly struggling, they weren't going to pay a fortune to watch the game.

China..

When the Chinese like something they invest in it and take it seriously till it dominates on a world stage.

They hardly left their mark on the world of football, slightly more on the world of basketball, but who knows, maybe one day cricket will be at the centre of a huge drive to form friendlier ties with India, will probably be easier to get a foothold in the world of cricket if they take it seriously

He's in for a treat then when he next logs in a 6 months time.

He apparently logged in on last Thursday..... So, mission successful, Ig?

I wish that sufficient people cared about first class and test cricket across the world so that they were sustainable without the one day and T20 variants.

They are already are a part of our culture,

Test Cricket is basically putting Sun Tzu's philosophy into practice, although they might be heavily offended when they come to learn what a Chinese cut is or chinamen bowling

I can't recall this ever happening

It's not like competitive table tennis or badminton are dominant around the world
