According to this video which I found earlier, cricket is fast gaining popularity in the USA. To be honest that came as quite a shock to me; I had always assumed that Americans preferred their own sports like Baseball and American Football. Yet largely due to immigration from India and Pakistan, cricket seems to be undergoing something of a resurgence on the other side of the pond. Mind you, I’d be willing to bet good money that this is because of the rise in the shorter, faster formats of the sport. Can you imagine one of our American friends sitting through a full five day test match?
