Well, I can't really say we've woken up yet. Most of the fans are (for lack of a better collective term) "desi-plus" (i.e., Indians, Pakistanis, Bengalis, West Indians, and apparently 'Ozzies and Kiwis' in the west); there isn't really much of a following yet among Americans whose heritage is outside the cricket community. While the enthusiasm is there, I think that ProCricket - similar to Twenty20 - is viewed as a side event to the main event of Test cricket. Part of that is publicity; while ProCricket has done more to publicise cricket in this country in the last four months than the ICC and USACA have done in the last forty years, it's still not enough, and I've discussed that with the league people, posted to the ProCricket forums, and will be putting it on paper to them. But ProCricket100/Twenty20 is probably the one form of cricket that can be the catalyst in this country, and I'm certainly in favor of it.

(For the record, I blame dmmaus; his cricket pages actually made the game understandable and interesting.)

Now, we've just gotta get you blokes turned on to baseball! :)
