What does the sport of CRICKET have to do to be popular in the USA? Let's not lie to ourselves, Football is the greatest sport in the US right now, but no one gives a crap about Rugby or even Soccer. Baseball is in 2nd place, and no one gives a crap about Cricket. What would the sport of Cricket have to change in order to be as popular as Baseball in America? For example, what types of rule changes? and an extra question, Which sport is better? And if Baseball is truly better, why does Cricket continue to exist?
Is there any sport besides cricket where the condition of the ball dictates strategy/play? I'm sure there must be something. Like tennis they change the balls after so many games. Ten pin Bowlers polish them before they bowl. I cant really think of any sport that is like cricket in this regard. Rugby, Soccer, Baseball and Basketball are all freely changed or swapped for brand new alternatives. I was looking for a sport where the age of the ball or continued use of it effects the way the game is played. Eg Spinners use the old ball in cricket and very rarely open. Sorry my question probably wasn't stated as clearly as I could of.

How can Cricket sport become big business if? Salaam - Ayubowan - Namaste - If the most important event in the calender of international cricket is lacking difficulties with NZ, ECB, & CA not wanting to participate for only 15 matches of the ICC Champions Trophy 2008 host: Pakistan? I can only imagine what the oppostion fans or cricket boards say about Pakistan however, i think this is not the spirit of Cricket Sport. Where this tournament in its short history to date, has brought all the leading teams & cricketers in the world together at one time to establish once & for all, just who is the best one day team in the world........ What are your thoughts? All i wanted to see was all the leading teams & cricketers play just 15 sizziling matches in Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2008... Ameen. Thanks to all answers of all...

Test cricket is one of the most boring sport in this planet, what do you think? test cricket is so boring, a match goes on for 5 days and sometimes you dont even get a result. The 1st test india could have with ease finished the match on the 4th day with 32 runs remaining but the match still went on to the 5th day.. really boring.. Excuse given "Bad light".. i think test cricket should be history and one dayers and t20 should be played.
What sport would you be following if Cricket was not played? We're all pretty passionate about our respected teams, this has been shown over n over... But if we did not have the cricket what would you be following?, would it be a team event like International Rugby or would it be a single event golf, tennis?...
Cricket is not a sport, why do people regard it as one? Only one team member is active at any one time, the team is selected by 'selectors' and not a manager, inactive players run their businesses on their mobiles when not batting, if a batsman is injured someone else runs for him, very few people attend the match - the vast majority watch on TV, the national team don't play in tournaments but 'Tests', there are many variations to the rules to make it watchable. It's a joke.
why do people blame cricket if no other sport is so famous as cricket is in India? India is amonst the poorest countries in the world and tats why most of the indians do not make any sport as proffession as u do not find a garuntee of good career in sport and u'r career is finished after 35 yrs.tis is the reason most of us opt for an acadmical career . thank god atleast one game is famous in our country,the state of people here does not allows us to play but it forces us to study for a bright future. tats why we r not good at sports as australia is coz aust. is a sports based country. Well v might not b good in sports but v do produce most number of Docters and engeeneers every year than any other country, who r much more skilled than foreigners.we should be proud of tis fact.the only diff. is tat we do all the hardwork and other countries enjoy the fruit due to BrainDrain som people say tat cricket has overshadowed other sports in country well i dont think so! but wat do u think on tis issue,plz plz plz plz plz answer coz i wan to know wat rest of india thinks?

He says Aussie Rules, i say Cricket, but i have asked other peole and they have said rugby & soccer (football). I learnt today that Canadas national sport is Lacrosse. I guessed Ice Hockey.

How to handle a hiding cricket in my home? I have a handleful of crickets that have snuck into my house. Probably when the kids left the door open or something. When I see them I get rid of them. The problem is that at night, they love to chirp so friggin loud. Yet, as loud as they chrip "Here I am", I sometimes have a hard time finding them. For me, it is very hard to pinpoint the source of the cricket. I can get to the right room, but then just as you think you close in, they stop chriping for a while. It seems like they can "throw thier voice" somehow, making it hard to find them. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find, or safely exterminate crickets. I am trying to avoid using a ton of pesticides in the house as I have small children. I tried to make a game of it, and let my children try to find them, but one is afraid, and the other isnt interested. It has been disrupting our sleep sometimes. As ridiculous as this sounds, it is a real problem, and I am grateful for any suggestions.
what is the cricket equivalent to major league baseball? Is there one or is cricket just mostly international tournements? I know the world cup, like rugby and soccer, is the biggest event in the sport, I guess a better way to put it is which domestic league is considered the most high profile, where the best players in the world play in.
Where can I find Sky Sports cricket ads? Does anyone remember the commercials in slow motion cricket showing the batsman not only slowed down, but each frame of the bat as it moved forward, so it looked like a fan of cricke bats? I think it was a Sky Sports promo. Is there anyway to see that advert or images from it? I'm amazed at how many frames per second the cricket cameras take. Also looking for other cricket promo ads. Like the slow motion one wear the ball hits the bat and you can see the bat wobble from the impact. Way cool!
Getting rid of cricket without poison? Okay, this isn't the most important question in the world but it's sure driving me crazy. I have a cricket with a very loud chirp behind my refrigerator. Every time I get near he (or she) quiets up and if I pull the refrigerator out from the wall the cricket is nowhere to be found. I don't want to use bug spray or poison around the refrigerator but I don't know how to get rid of the thing. I tried sprinkling red pepper behind the refrigerator because I'd heard once that it keeps ants away. The cricket was quiet for most of one night, but now he's back and from the sound of it I think he may have actually developed a taste for the stuff. Any suggestions for sending him away permanently (dead or alive) would be much appreciated. Thanks.
How can I watch cricket online for free without Sopcast? I would like to watch cricket games (free online) when I have downtime at work, however, there is some glitch when I install Sopcast (similar results with TVU and WinAmp). Tried to troubleshoot using advice from different sites, but nothing has worked. I have Windows Media Player and Real Player. Are there any free sites that use these 2 modes of streaming? All of the sites that I've searched seem to require Sopcast. Is there any workaround? Any help would be appreciated.

What is your opinion on introducing the red card concept to Cricket? Although cricket is not violent there are many verbal arguments that take place that aren't really publicised. Many players say things to the opposing team and escape without any punishment. Some may think the red card concept may not be useful for cricket as the conflicts that occur aren't very serious but the public does not know what happens behind the scenes. Or perhaps cricket fans enjoy watching a little bit of a stir witht the other team? What is your opinion?
How do I kill a cricket in my air conditioner? There is a cricket that is extremely loud inside my air conditioner on the second floor. I can bang on it and it'll stop for 5 seconds, and if I turn it on he'll stop. But he'll always start back up again. Any solutions?

How good is Cricket cell phone service? How good is Cricket in a suburban mid-sized town like Spokane, WA? They have an excellent $35 plan that looks really appealing, but I've heard from local cellphone "experts" (who happen to be Verizon fanatics) that the service is absolutely horrible, and to go with T-Mobile instead. Furthermore, they say that though their phones are decent, Cricket phones are expensive, and the refurbished ones sometimes don't work. Anyone have opinions or personal anecdotes they'd like to share? Thanks in advance.
How do I send pics to the internet using a Cricket phone? I have the Kyocera Xcursion phone through Cricket and everytime I go to send a picture message to my email, it doesn't work.

How to become a cricket commentator? I am a professional but an avid cricket follower. Very eloquent and was a very active public speaker growing up. But ended up completing a degree in engineering and work in software. But my passion to become a cricket commentator is still alive. I have NO idea where to start. Someone once told me that I have to have a degree in Broadcasting if I want to be taken seriously for a position in sports broadcasting. I am up for it. But I wanted to still figure out the other details of where to start other than enrolling in a Broadcasting course. Would love any views/suggestions. Thanks.

What will it take for India to overpower Australia in cricket? A population of over 1 billion and a lot of its citizens are hard working and talented people. But somehow beating Australia still remains a near impossible task in cricket. Australia is very good in sports, not just cricket but in olympics too -- they win lots of golds, silvers and bronze too. For India olympic medal is next to impossible. Australia also played in soccer world cup 2006 -- India can't play in soccer world cup for a very long time. So despite such large population, skill and talent why India cannot compete with Australia in sports?

How many of you really watch domestic cricket? Seriously, I am amazed that people even keep track of domestic cricket. Who has that much time? There's so much international cricket nowadays. With the Australian Open going on, most of the time I dont even hear my dog barking let alone keep track of domestic cricket. No offense meant here. Your views please. Thanks. Yep Mel, I am loving it. I watched almost every match on display yesterday. Today, the menu is even better with Dokic and Fedex to play. Aww that's so awesome Mel. I wish I could go but besides studying, there's too much work to do with 12 pets at home. Then I also volunteer for a local animal shelter on weekends. Gosh Mel ! Jelena is out of AO. Marion Bartoli just beat her 6-1, 6-4 Nah mate. College will never announce holiday for any sports event final. I have never bunked college for a match but you never know in future. Its always on the cards. Mel, I have sent you emails with all the details regarding you Qs.
