What would you like to see included in future Olympic Games?
There's been a push for Netball to be included;
Do you think a T20 Cricket format would work? Baseball and Softball are both an Olympic sport. The Football teams field players under 23, maybe the cricket sides could do the same? India are one nation that do not bring home many medals, this would be huge for them as they'd be a chance to take it home every time. SL and Pakistan are other nations that dont bring home many medals. The WI team would need to be split up though.
The thing is though, would we always see the same teams? India, NZ, Aus, GB (Eng)... Would we ever see a Canada or USA team fielded? If a T20 format was to be introduced, I think they should scrap the T20WC.
Do you think climbing, skateboarding and BMX were a success?
What other sports could be included in future games? And are their any former sports that could make a comeback?

Imagine the uproar if they brought back live pigeon shooting. Netball and cricket are played mainly in Commonwealth countries so I guess that is where they will stay in the games arena.
I wouldn;t be surprised if Channel 7 try to get a cooking program and home renovation included.
Pole dancing would be good Plenty of boys here would vie for judging duty. Or a wet T shirt competition. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |

I'd hate that, 'cos it's the silliest version of the game.
Obviously the best version cannot be done, but Cricket does not need the Olympics. It just needs to get its own house in order. |
