Can Cricket Overtake Football?
 
After the start of IPL, pakistan announcing their version of premier league to start next year & England on plans of EPL... With T20 gaining huge markets & popularity. Do u think cricket has enough power to overtake football in future?

Only in one country is cricket less popular than football (that's football as in soccer), and it is never remotely likely to overtake it in popularity for more than a few months in this country.

For it to do so would take something unforeseeable.

No. Not in a million years. Never. No chance. Jamais. Etc etc.

Richard 25-04-2008 08:56 AM

BTW, nice Rodgie-esque poll.

Langeveldt 25-04-2008 09:08 AM

Yes it does, unfortunatly

silentstriker 25-04-2008 09:18 AM

I don't think it does, unfortunately.

Why the hell should it, at least not at the cost of sensibility...

Can't see it happening in my lifetime.

Depends in what sense to 'overtake'. In terms of sheer number of people it's possible if it happened to take off in China, but in a more general sense I can't see it happening.

In Europe and South America no chance.

I can see ricket a clear #2 in the not so distant future.

Yep

As for the poll, no chance. Even if the World Health Organisation proved a link between following football and testicular cancer there would still be far more people interested in it.

Football is so simple and accessable.

it depends.. if we get cricketers like dravid and kallis in near future.. hell no.. the 20 twenty game has the potential to be as good as a football game.. if the right players are played on the game..
