Cricket in America

Let's start a ICC bashing here! I go first.. Icc sucks ass and icc is ruled by idiots.

^ICC is stupid...the 12 team T20 wc was the stupidest thing one could have done. From 16 teams in the previous tournament to 12 in the recent one. I would have liked to see 20 teams just for the sake of popularity. Also, Olympics in England was the best time to push cricket in the mix. ICC didn't even try. They basically want these 8 teams to continue playing as long as the money is flowing.

16 to 12? T20 WC where always 12 team tournaments, next T20 WC will have 16 teams for the first time. And agree about the olympic thing. ICC couldve tried a bit harder but i dont think getting cricket into the olympics will help spread the game. lets be honest, do you think the interest for gymnast will increase just by watching them on olympics. however, as fans we will always want our beloved sport in olympics

gymnastics would have no international recognition without the olympics. the fact that you and i know anything about gymnastics' existance is thanks to the olympics.

ICC had declared 2012 World T20 as 16 Nations, and the whole qualification process had also begun. But for a 16 Nation World T20 they went for a 10 nations (Test Nations Only) 2015 WC This created a whole ruckus and ICC had to overturn the 2015 10 nation to 14 nation, and in retaliation they declared that both 2012 and 2014 World T20 are 12 Nations now because of money matters as ICC Tournaments are "Complete Package" This year ICC realized ego will not take them anywhere and hence from 2014 onwards the World T20 has been reverted to 16 nations. On Olympics, ICC still has to take a decision that Olympics could hamper the brand value of World Cup (Crap). If Cricket gets into Olympics, it will get in huge funds into the game and more development but it would also mean, the Big 10 Test Nations to be more fair in working and that is not acceptable to them ON US CRICKET Presently it is being run by USACA, a most incompetent organization, where their Head Mr Dainty sticks to power like a African Dictator. This year he was set to lose election, so he called a sham independent auditor, who made most of voting members ineligible and won the election US Cricket if managed properly with Expats can easily reach the level of Ireland (Very Truly), but they are ruled by a pathetic organisation who is taking them down
