Although my favourite form of cricket is Test Cricket I reckon the 20/20 format is our best chance of winning over the massive USA, China markets with its streamlined instant result style.

ArkRoyal Offline Platinum Member Posts: 4985 Thank you received: 1215	BH: Canada's claim to fame is that they played the first 'cricket international' against the yanks in 1844. They are ranked 22 in the world at the moment, as you say, a long way below their hey day signified by their appearances in world cups. they are behind: UAE Scotland PNG Hong Kong Kenya Netherlands Namibia Nepal The following user(s) said Thank You: Beasley Hutton
