"The Brazilian city where more kids play cricket than football"

How cricket is gaining new ground in Brazil - Cricinfo

Fascinating article about the growth of cricket in Brazil, particularly in the city of Pocos de Caldas. The sport now has 5000 players, the majority of whom are girls and they've now handed out 15 central contracts to the top woman players.

Seems like we are not far from the “samba” shot

Cricket definitely needs a strong Brazil

Pretty interesting. Looking forward to joining a club in Argentina or Uruguay in a few years!

It is good to see Brazil involved. Suppose the last cog (Male and Female) is China really going in. If they can commit then some international teams may be mixed in 100 years time. Women's sport is going to evolve a ridiculous amount in 100 years if there isn't another World War.

Not going to happen.

The Brazil thing is interesting though...

It’s amazing how some of the bigger countries in the world haven’t cashed in and made an effort to play this sport at the highest level.

I guess the moolah(pun intended heheh) doesn’t matter for a team like Brazil that is only known for one sport.

Yep, a great opportunity to get robbed at gunpoint!
