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

France. Them being the only non-Anglosphere country that's into rugby is a weirdness that means they bring something very different to the game there. Its mostly talent, crap management and unexpected performances at world cups without winning, but you can't expect Pakistan to do everything.
Reckon they'd bring a whole new philosophy to the game. You'd probably get a mix of laid-back fluid stroke-makers and some really fierce competitors that would make for an interesting mix.

On a similar rugby-ish note, Argentina. Imagine a Falklands Trophy between them and England would become quite interesting. S. America could produce some really interesting pitches, too.

Germany. They'd probably come up with some really efficient and amazing alternative to the D/L system.
Germany, absolutely.
Mainly because if they took cricket seriously it would inevitably have positive influence on neighbouring countries like Czech Republic. And because they would kick ass obviously.

Mexico. The best way to get cricket mainstream in the US.

Ah yeah Germany would probably become the best team in like 5 years. Every german I've met is so mentally and physically competent. As well being mega fast learners

Surely if you can magically make a country interested in the cricket, the best way to get cricket mainstream in the US would just be to answer the US?

All the interest over here stems from us brown peeps. Would love it if the locals could take up the sport. Would add another billion or so fans.

Russia. Sledge the bloke with mob connections at your peril. Would be some aggro quicks too.

Samoa, Tonga and Fiji, because then we'd be able to pinch all their best talent and become a world beating side.

Imagine the playing conditions as well.

Italy, they are great at most artistic things. That or they will play like the football team and we will get a cynical version of Pakistan.
