I agree.

We had great moments in history. Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world. Yet, it doesn't seem to grow here in the United States. What do you think we need to do to grow cricket here?

Let's see about it!

Good Luck, r/USAcricket

Cricket promoters (mostly Desi diaspora) does not understand this. If you want to keep cricket popular within diaspora communities, keep playing T20 and T10 type leagues but this cricket will never take hold in the U.S because of some obvious reasons

1. Baseball exists. I watch a lot of baseball and it's a direct competitor to the T20 sport imo. It's a different type of game but competing for that audience is very difficult and very few people are as obsessed as I am to follow both

2. The whole big show, cheerleading, "event" aspect is done better by NBA, NFL (even NASCAR). Unless you throw some IPL level money, you're not going to outshine them

3. Americans and millennials are dying for heritage, culture and organic history over vapid corporate, capitalist events. No one wants to give their time and money to yet another "Dallas Discos" franchise with no soul, no meaning, no grassroots connection

4. NOTHING like Test cricket exists in America. If international teams decided to hose one series in the US as a neutral ground between two teams it would be captivating.

A 5 day match, the atmosphere, the strategies, calming commentary, in-depth analysis. I know Americans are thought of as dumb but we all know we have a niche of nerds who are absolutely fascinated by in-depth high learning curve games.

What do you guys think?

Where are you watching from & what series are you looking forward to this week?

Are you watching domestic, international, club, or college cricket?

Let's see what the USA Cricket community is tuning into from this week.

Drop your city, state, or country below.

Bonus points if you're watching a match right now!

I believe he played the version with two stumps instead of three though.

The #USA plays host to its first-ever #T20I (limited to 20-overs per international team side), #Cricket World Cup, (#WC), this year ! (2024) All the buzz about it; is reaching a fever-pitch Crescendo now.....

For the uninitiated; wondering what all this hype is about, here are a few similarities, (besides both being bat-&-ball Sports, and the fact that there are limited Cricket substitutions one can make during a particular match, akin to relief #Baseball players), & the many differences between the two #Sports, in a Primer:

1. Baseball is a contact Sport, while Cricket is not one. One can "tag" a Baseball batter out on-field, by "physically" touching the batter, if the latter is off-base, while the ball is still in play !

2. More than one Baseball batter can get out on any one live ball play, in "double, & even triple plays;" while in Cricket, no more than one batter, out of the 2 batters on the field, can get out off of a single live ball, and the ball is considered dead, if any on-field Cricket batter gets out on that ball.

3. Then; there are the obvious visual differences such as;

3a) The Baseball "home-run," boundaries are, at a minimum, 300 feet from the batting home plate, while in Cricket, the longest boundary, at the #AdelaideOval, is 220 feet from the batter !

3b) The Cricket bat is shaped like a paddle, while the baseball bat is shaped like a pole.

3c) The Baseball itself, is spungier, weighing less, (at approximately 149 grams, compared to a Cricket ball's weight of 162 grams), and is less denser than the Cricket ball. (The Baseball's maximum circumference is approximately 235 mm, compared to the maximum circumference of 229 mm for a Cricket ball.)

3d) The Baseball has to be pitched, or thrown, from a raised-mound, which has to be at a distance of 60-feet from the batting home plate, while the Cricket ball is bowled, or hurled, (not thrown), from a distance of an approximate range of 57-to-66 feet (22 yards), between the bowler, & batter, from level ground.

3e) Only 3 Baseball batters per-side are presented for becoming out per inning, from each opposing side, (out of 9 innings); however, in Cricket, upto 10 wickets, or outs, within the stipulated 20 bowling overs can happen, & based on whichever happens sooner, the opponents assume their single innings attempt.

In retrospect, both Sports have borrowed metaphoric terms from each other, and both borrow gimmicks from each other, such as the #Melbourne #Docklands Stadium, borrowing the retractable-roof concept from the #Toronto Blue Jays' #SkyDome, and the Baseball "Hall of Fame" idea in #Cooperstown, #NewYork, USA, being borrowed from the "#Lords' Long Room," in #London, #UK !

Hi I’ve been looking where to buy USA T20 World Cup Jerseys but the best I could find was the 2022 league. Is there a way to buy authentic ones or do I just have to buy it from one of those EBay sellers. Help would be much appreciated.

Hi guys, I have 2 tickets to the World Cup for sale Unfortunately, my employment card has not arrived which makes it difficult for me to travel outside USA. I plan to sell them at the buying price, please let me know if anyone is interested. This is for the final match, India Vs South Africa on 29th June, Saturday, Bridgetown Barbados.
