they should play the montreal alouettes and the winner declared world champs
The Canadian game has a wider and longer field, more players on the field, a different game ball, and lower quality talent.
It really wouldn't be a fair contest at all, anymore than playing against NFL Europe would be.
The NFL has the best of the best playing there. The Canadians and Euros get the leftovers.

Originally posted by CrowleyYes Crowley, there is a Cricket league here in Florida.. only one stadium in south Florida, but it holds about 18,000 and it sure is jumping. I went with a friend of mine. For the life of me I cannot figure it out. Many players here from Trinidad, etc. Lots of players standing around a good deal of the time, discussing strategy? I want to get it, and I will.. but jeez!
I'm not arguing from "population" (whatever the quotes are supposed to signify) alone.
Cricket is almost a religion in India and the number one sport in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
It's got professional leagues or competitions in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the Caribbean. It's an established sport in Zimbabwe and Kenya ...[text shortened]... lorida if I'm not mistaken...
You can't argue the numbers dude, so don't even try.

Originally posted by SmookiePThat last comment rather reminds me of my strange witnessing of seeing a chap run onto an American football field, take his place in the side to all sorts of encouragement, place what appears one of any number of balls at his disposal on some sort of plastic device that holds the correct inclination from the floor and then kick for goal.. and then just as dramatically, he wanders off the field of play, his job description concluded until the next kick is required...now that is a genuine baffler but is he alone with regard to such limited or 'temporary play' within this game, there were too many players both on and far more off field to be able to tell ??
