Just think how much more the world would hate us if we won the World Cup every 4 years.

Given populations and interest in the game I think it is more likely that China might become a power in the game.

OK, I know you were after p_p with that post but you should know that cricket, in general is only played by former British colonies.

You do know there is a cricket club in Hollywood?

That's what I meant. p_p_ would instantly become a fan of cricket. Or what the hell, baseball's in decline... The rest of them would probably go into competitive badmitton. It's very big in SE Asia!



Don't worry about the Chinese...

Every single piece of flat real estate is busy growing rice. Where would they practice? On thier new Russian Built Aircraft Carriers?

They must have a million factories cranking out all the cheap plastic crap the west buys. They could play on the roofs. No problem with running out of soccer balls. They make them all anyway.

Is that possible?

Could we hate you more than we do already?
