So, apparently the cricket T20 World Cup started today and is being co-hosted by the US. Of course, I had absolutely no idea. Such is how low a profile cricket has over here. It doesn't help that the only way to watch any of the games is via an extremely niche channel that even I don't subscribe to. So no, cricket will not take off in the US - and I don't understand why the heck they're even bothering to host games here. I suspect the only people going to watch the games are South Asian immigrants. The average American probably doesn't even know of the existence of cricket, let alone the rules and how to play it.
