I think that's a big part of it. If someone other than the Dutch or Italians played it, it might have a better chance.

Maybe the Russkies can give it a try.

It has to be. The sport is emerging in Asian countries and is a big presence in Latin America. - musubi Mar 1, 10:51 6
- You might as well have cricket in the Olympics though -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 10:56 5
  - rugby sevens (for 2016) was a good compromise. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:13 1
    - It's worked in the Commonwealth Games format, but really I think it should stay there. - Roger More Mar 1, 11:20
  - If there's more than say 5 teams good at it, sure. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:00 2
    - There are about the same number of countries that are good at cricket as are good at baseball. Similar geographic distribution as well - Roger More Mar 1, 11:08 1
      - to baseball, you can add Italy, Netherlands (if they get Aruba), Mexico and Canada to the list of competitive teams. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:16
