Throughout this long, often rambling, interview I didn't see one mention of

bringing cricket to mainstream Americans aside from what the USYCA is doing.

re: ACF or USACA - Who will win the race?

timmyj51 — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 17:43:05 GMT

I'm afraid I don't hold out much hope for this ACF for the same reason no other

competing USA cricket organization has succeeded. The sole and solitary purpose

the USACA plays is organizing the national teams; men, women, junior. It's really

done absolutley nothing else for cricket in this cournty and really doesn't care to. I've said this many times:

the only way the ACF or any other

organization's gonna get the ICC to recognize it, or get the USACA to negotiate

with it, is if the country's top players refuse to participate in USACA/ICC

matches/tourneys. If USACA had to field a third rate team that couldn't beat the

Caymans or Argentina there'd be big changes real quick. But this just isn't going to happen. Everyone dreams of playing

for "team USA" and are more than willing to sell their souls and and work with a non-transparent, unresponsive, undemocratic, organization to do this. My advice to ACF? Try to get together the best USA players and form your own "national team" and then challenge the USACA "national team". If you could beat the

"official" USA team I think ICC would have to look long and hard at who represents

USA cricket.

If the ACF is to be successful, the key is to simply focus on serving its constituency.

Rather than become distracted by status, control and jurisdiction, as others have, ACF leaders must wake up every morning and ask themselves, "What can I do today to help my members become more successful?"

A parent organization's success is best judged by the success of its component parts - and that's where the focus must always remain. The moment the ACF's leadership begins to think that their issues are of more significance than those facing their membership, all is lost.

On the other hand, if the ACF becomes known for its selfless dedication to the needs of its members, it can't help but be an overwhelming success.

Timmy/Tim,

My direct experience comes from introducing thousands of American children to cricket and watching them fall in love with the game.

My direct experience comes from spending hundreds of hours tossing a soft ball to youngsters learning how to use a cricket bat.

My direct experience comes from working with dozens of enthusiastic volunteers all over America who are spreading our great game where it has never gone before.

My direct experience comes form helping people and organizations share with young people their love for cricket.

So there you have it.

Apologies in advance if my "direct experiences" do not measure up on the "Timmy Scale." I'll do my best to carry on anyway.

Jamie, curious to know (as many other people are): how much experience to

YOU YOURSELF have playing cricket? How many years have you been playing?

What clubs, what teams? And I mean out in the middle, playing a full

game, batting, bowling, fielding? If someone's trying to get America to enjoy

'the pleasures of playing cricket would expect him to speak from direct experienice.
