The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

We're talking about Asian sports now? As far as I know, cricket is quite the thing in India and Pakistan.

Very true, I know that a bunch of people from those parts of the world have developed a cricket club in either Saginaw or Midland because of their love of the sport.

Bangladesh is still somewhat of an unknown quantity in international cricket, they've only had Full Member status for around 12 years. Just developed a good stable of quick bowlers, though, so they should get interesting real quick.

I'm not much into cricket, but I know that it's spreading into places where it used to not be seen.

Youth participation is dropping in the UK but I think slightly rising in North America? I'm not too up on this.

Edit: I mean the mainland. Obviously it's very popular in the Caribbean.
