There are about the same number of countries that are good at cricket as are good at baseball. Similar geographic distribution as well

For baseball, I'm counting US, Australia, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea, Dominican Rep, Cuba, Puerto Rico, maybe Venezuela?
The countries that are good at cricket are the UK, Australia, NZ, South Africa, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Countries that can compete (but not well) are Bangladesh, Kenya and Zimbabwe (which is a non-starter). The West Indies also have a unified team but this wouldn't play at the Olympics.
I'm not saying cricket should be in the Olympics - actually, I don't think it should.
