In response to "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." by Reagen

It has to be. The sport is emerging in Asian countries and is a big presence in Latin America.

Europe is the glaring hole in participation.

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
