^^ Sad to see only one cricketer made into this list. IMHO It shows that where cricket stands in comparison of other sports and clearly begging for more exposure in other parts of the world too, not just Subcontinent.
United States happens to be the no.1 market for sports, and the natives there are simply not interested in cricket. They have their own sport (baseball) which is very similar to cricket, and therefore it is not very surprising. The ICC has poured in a lot of money in to that market, hoping that cricket will take off. But that strategy failed, because they were concentrating only on the expats (Asian and West Indian).
