Olympics

if it isnt in 2028 then i suspect 20/20 cricket will make it at brisbane pity they are demolishing the Gabba to make the new olympic stadium would have been the best place to play any 20/20 games

Cricket has been proposed for the 2028 games. It would be without the West Indies, as they are not an Olympic nation.

Yes that's a problem that needs resolving
Jamaica, Antigua, and Barbados etc are Olympic nations.
And I believe that there's a yearly 20 over league between the islands

But it's how do these independant countries get the qualification for an Olympics when they don't show as either full or associate members.

Couldn't they be classed as the Carribean Olympic Comittee like the Russians? and I believe GB are still Olympic champions (We beat France in 1900!!)

^ So you are suggesting that first of all they get banned for being state sponsored drug cheats because that is why it is ROC and nor Russia. Seems a bit extreme if you ask me!

^ But at least he pointed out that we beat the French in 1900 (even though most of the French team were English expats).
