No it wouldn't at all. So many people would rather watch Bolt as an overseas player ahead of Dernbach or Mahmood and we'd probably be able to get more money from International broadcasters as I'm sure everyone from the Caribbean and other areas would tune in.

And unlike Dernbach, Mahmood or Andrew Johns, Bolt can bowl.

Lee is asking Bolt to join his T20 team on twitter. Kind of a joke but you can see he's half being serious.

Whoever runs the BBL should throw the kitchen sink at getting Bolt in to a Sydney or Melb team. Would potentially go close to selling the MCG out.

YUP!!...

The point is cricket is not dead in the West Indies someone just get these incredible athletes (blake, bolt) in the game.

I love the fact people who have made it in other sports want it to be known they love cricket and were even thinking of becoming cricketers. :wub:

Congrats to the Jamican 4 x 100 team though and to the greatest athlete of them all Usain Bolt. Great olympics for thr caribbean.

Give Bolt a chance if he wants it, can only be a positive for the game. Would require a ramson though.

Don't think it will happen but just love the fact Bolt and Blake openly declare their love for cricket. Reminds you of just how damn cool Jamaicans and other West Indian sportspeople are and how desperately cricket needs WI to be a cricketing force again. Please, can the ICC not help this not so rich cricketing nation to develop their system and keep talent in the sport and nurture it to be great.
