BH: yep, it is mainly the overbearing Americans with Canada. There is a cricket channel called 'wllow' from memory which also serves the USA. Interestingly, the French Canadians once did a movie about cricket called the 'seduction of Dr Lewis'. The local ville needed a doctor, and, Lewis, as well as being a doctor, was a big cricket fan. The people got out there in appropriate attire as well as bat and ball and won him over.

It was actually on SBS.

AR remember Canada played in the odd World Cup in the 70s from memory, it is a pity it never became as big as baseball over there, for mine cricket leaves baseball for dead as a sport.

I am with you BH, there is no comparison between the two sports; these days, with the two shorter versions of the game, ironically, the sport would probably be liked in North America.
