I haven't, but I am a huge fan of European sports. Pay an extra like $10 a month for FOX Soccer Channel (they should call it FOX Football Channel but that would probably involve a lawsuit by the NFL network). And that used to be FOX Sports World which used to carry other stuff besides Football. I think they need to get a channel for Cricket. I have seen more Cricket at the park down the street from my house by people from India than on TV, even though they play for fun, they don't play a real game. BTW, is Sri Lanka any good? I hear the name of that country associated with cricket more than anything else that they are associated with or whatever.

crick..what? oh, you mean that game where brits try to hit a ball with a paddle while wearing silly white outfits?
isn't it where the phrase "bit of a sticky wicket" comes from?
I'm afraid there's little you could do to make it more appealing to American market unless players paddle each other on the bum or whack each other in the face.
Baseball is more macho, but many Americans find it boring these days so there's little hope for cricket.
We like watching people have their dreams crushed on reality TV and watching wars we are directly/indirectly responsible for on CNN. Can cricket compete with that?

Never seen one. Whats it like? I think for it to be improved it would first have to be introduced. I'm not sure that most Americans know much about the game.

I have seen the one-day limited over match as well as played it 10 years ago.The 20 or 40 over match might have limited appeal but I think that if you haven't grown up with the game the test match might be too much for the American taste.

Some kind of game using insects?
JK!
Isn't cricket more dreadfully boring than American Baseball?

I've never seen one or understand the game. I'd give it a look if I could.

Me, I don't think it would catch on here. Can't really give many reasons though. I WANTED to watch it and even I got bored.
