That is the whole idea of coming with unconventional changes in a game which is alive and kicking.Lalit Kishore Sethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309831177715256801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-87273022798684424192009-01-20T15:35:00.000+05:302009-01-20T15:35:00.000+05:30Welcome on bored Lalit.I'm curious about the numbe...Welcome on bored Lalit.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious about the numbers - how many Indians+South East Asians, and blokes from Commonwealth/cricket playing nations are there in the US today.<BR/><BR/>Cricket needs a new posterboy nation, radical, but it could be the US. A chinaman played and had a ball named after him. What will an American evoke - an Obama delivery.<BR/><BR/>Homer, you are the American market.<BR/>That's why.Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-83689627431084225112009-01-20T15:30:00.000+05:302009-01-20T15:30:00.000+05:30A well thought out piece here & well appointed...A well thought out piece here & well appointed comments on the same begs the question that as the recession racked globe chants ...'Capitalism is dead, Long live Capitalism' ... do we continue to worship at Mammon's alter & desire big bucks to dictate the evolution of our favourite games? Is it really in the interest of the sporting community & the populace in general to start using fiscal dashboards to assess the direction in which the gaming strategy needs to be steered? As per this philosophy all games would ultimately become clones of another & would end up being played on Vegas style one armed bandits(slots) in the One1 format ... minimal effort/maximum returns & let physical activity, team dynamics,character building etc be damned in the sporting fileds of Vegas!sraghunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304306613014091973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-37522328911266152362009-01-20T12:15:00.000+05:302009-01-20T12:15:00.000+05:30Even I feel the American market is not that import...Even I feel the American market is not that important. Right now. When traditional strongholds of the game are feeling the heat (read Oz, South Africa), the effort should be to butress the game in these parts. <BR/><BR/>Even after this (i.e. once we have at least 10 strong Test playing nations), I think there is more money to be made in the game in China and Latin America (and even Russia) than in the USA.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380949898047556944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-44346278789006353882009-01-20T12:11:00.000+05:302009-01-20T12:11:00.000+05:30I think the diaspora market is quite sizeable.
