Growing American interest in Cricket

By some estimates, there are about 200,000 cricket players in the United States, playing in more than 150 leagues. Most of these players are expats who continue to follow their passion. Capturing the attention of the average American sports fan remains cricket’s biggest challenge, and the star power of Cricket All Stars was expected to create a big buzz for the sport.

No "high" from "de buzz" in NY match...98% of people in stands expats.  For Yanks may have just as
well been played on de dark side of de moon.

so did soccer
