First T20 and now Cheerleaders

The T20 as a concept is a rip off from baseball, the most American of all games. Now one other purely American phenomenon, the cheerleaders are set to take the centre stage in IPL.

Has cricket outgrown its British origin?

OUT OF 1000 RUPEES U R GONNA PAY FOR A MATCH 700 IS FOR THE CHEERLEADERS. THEY WILL BE THE MAIN ATTRACTION BETWEEN OVERS. SPECTATORS WILL BE CRANING THEIR NECKS TO SEE THEM PERFORM. WONT BE SURPRISED IF A FEW OF THEM DEVELOP NECK PROBLEMS.

Cricket has not yet fully outgrown British orgin.. But IPL will surely hasten that process..

Is outgrowing its British origin such a big loss for cricket?

Cheers
