Seems the founders sports are going to be bettered by other countries...
Though he does not have a very American name. 
It is good that the game is gaining popularity there but you still have to better the WWF(E) for 5 or 6th place in viewing figures.... We have the space..

I fixed it for you because it was quicker to do that than write this reply and I was late for work.
You can change the title yourself by editing your original post and changing it there: ie only the author of the original post, or a Staff member, can edit the OP.

As per the title - yes! And not before time! Cricket has always been such a boring stupid game with all its 'how to stand at the crease old boy nonsense' and the 'well done old boy' shout from a pavilion when a batsman was able to block a ball that he was too frightened to smash. And the commentary on a full blown test match! what a farce that was listening to one!
Oh, and if listening the Archers is bad enough, the episodes about their 'single wicket' match are just cringe making!
Then T20 came along and now 100 has opened it up into an exciting game. I certainly now hate to miss a T20 and was captivated by 100. But I hear there are still those who say that the change is 'just not cricket'!

I’m a cricket nut, brought up on the traditional long format though I enjoy the shortened forms. It’s good to see the ladies game getting stronger which is entirely due to the short game.
