yes, it should be... cause 20-20 Cricket is new format of cricket to please spectators who would otherwise would think test cricket & ODI as boring. In 3 hrs the match is finished compare to 8 hrs for normal ODI cricket. If you see any 20-20 cricket match you would know it's all about 4 & 6, very few times it's dot ball or single run. 20-20 fits well for Olympics games compare to ODI which could be pain watching unless you are hardcore fan. It's time for Olympic committee to include cricket in next Olympic games.

That's a nice point.
I ve never thought about it before.
Well the thing is very few countries play cricket and clearly Australia is the supreme leader.
Including 20-20 cricket just means that the total medals of australia is gonna increase.
There are only 12 countries that play cricket and olympics is too big a event to cater to the interests of just 12 countries of the world

No. If American Football isn't an Olympic sport, even though it generates the second most revenue worldwide, Cricket should not be added.
I don't even knw what "20-20 cricket" is. I know about cricket (at least more than most Americans), but what's the 20-20?

I personally find cricket mindnumbingly boring. However, if there is a large contingent who want to see it, cricket should be a sport at the Olympics. I mean, they have rifle shooting as an Olympic sport...

You've just gotta wonder at some people. Some dork in here is prattling on about American football - in answer to this question.
American football. That says it all - America is the only place with people silly enough to play it.
And, have spectators silly enough to go & watch it. Silly wishy-washy stop start-game with the players decked out armoured knights of old.
But in answer to your question - No. The Yanks, Ruskies, Chinese etc don't play the game so they would veto it's entry.

Yes it will attract more crowds. but the rules especially if a game is tied should be changed.

Yes it should. So should rugby. But they won't be included because the americans can't play those games.
