Should Cricket become an Olympic sport? ?

Question

Considering Women's Softball and Mens baseball are gone, Should Cricket be considered for a new addition to the Olympics? I know it's not that popular in the United States but it's pretty Popular in Europe and India etc.

Answer 1

h**l NO !

Its bad enuff having BMX racing as an olympic sport

Answer 2

Why do we need to ask this question? I dearly love the sport of cricket but I don't see the need to somehow try to elevate or justify it's status by including it as an olympic sport. Cricket doesn't need the olympics - In the same way that tennis and soccer don't need the olympics. The olympics should be kept for sports where winning an olympic medal is the pinnacle of achievement, not say, the ashes or world cup or wimbledon

Answer 3

of course cricket should be a part of olympics.less popular games like swimming etc are included.then why not the one of the most popular game there in olmpics.  

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

I like your sense of humour!!

Answer 6

WHY NOT! It's more popular than 27 of the 28? sports at the Olympics. But really... is anybody else getting sick of this question appearing here almost EVERY DAY!

Answer 7

yes yes

Answer 8

why not? nowadays T20 circket matches were becoming very popular so we can expect Cricket matches in Olympic games.

Answer 9

I think it more popular world wide then baseball and soft ball so I think why not.  most likely 20 twenty will be the one mostly likely to get in.

Answer 10

I think cricket should be made an Olympic event.

Answer 11

Cricket takes too long -organizing that many teams into matches? Impossible.

Answer 12

No, the Olympics is big enough. We don't need any more team sports in it.

Cricket popular in Europe? Ha ha! Only in England, and what about Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Caribbean?
