We’re bloody good at it and the last thing we want is some yanks with all their money just paying their way to victory. Kind of like the Olympics.
But also this is cricket we’re talking about here: a sport that is more about strategy and technicality than it is about action (NFL, Basketball, Baseball). I just don’t think the US mainstream audience is interested in that kind of stuff. I can’t imagine trying to sell test cricket to the US mainstream
Thats what i imagine would happen, sans influence of the Indian market, test cricket is a game, not an necessarily aimed at the nightly entertainment window, twenty-twenty is already a compromise without the US on board. I can only imagine a Futurama type scenario, (but for cricket not baseball), if the US came on board. Good ol’Blernsball.
In saying that, baseball can go on for a fair few hours. When i went to a game we were there for like two or three hours and the game went on for another hour after we left to pick a friend up from the airport. Listened to the rest on the radio.
I agree but also on a simpler level:
