Cricket in USA vs NFL in England

http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/con...62281.html

American FoosBall big leap :

NFL has hosted 15 matches at Wembley so far

Sky Sports broadcasts over 100 live NFL games a year

BBC's highlights show is watched by 1 million UK viewers every week

6000 junior players and 5000 players in universities in UK play American football

Indianapolis Colts play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.

While cricket attempts to take hold in America, so America's game attempts to grow in England.

The number of games per season in London has risen from one to three

and will rise further, to four in 2018..

"Cricket needs pitches, players and points of engagement, not just Warne and Tendulkar.

The sport needs to give people in the US reasons to watch and reasons to play."

then move it to Canada


more pitches
more Canadian players
more points of engagement
the Bars

USA have more than Canada !

350 milliom vs 35 million Population !

Only 6K Brit kids playing football for all these years of money 'n effort.  Not much of a success story.
If ICC put the same time, money, and effort in 'Merica, way more than 6k 'Merican kids be playin' cricket.
