Can cricket create buzz in US?

Steven your correct in US basketball and soccer are rooted in their culture. It is difficult to change and they even don't show interest in cricket. If at all people accept it also, there will be no word of buzz among them. 

Thanks.....

No, I don't believe that cricket will be able to make a major impact in the US since there are games like baseball, golf etc which have over the years have created great interest in the minds of every citizen in the US.

Games like cricket require a certain cultural milieu to flourish. The original format of test matches required a lot of time and leisurely pace to play. Britishers had these advantages and therefore played a lot of cricket and also bequeathed the game to their subjects. So today most Commonwealth nations play cricket and play it well. US was also a colony but failed to pick up that trait as it developed (deliberately, it seems, in hindsight) a different sort of culture hence plays aggressive, competitive games like baseball. Probably these games suit their cultural inclinations better.. Just a thought... seems plausible to me...

It will take years and years. Having a world class national team would help, but most sports in America start as children. Soccer is very popular among children, but still does not gain much attention at the professional level.

i do not think US will play cricket.Us has never played any sport other than their own already playing sport take for e.g. hockey, soccer, cricket.

Baseball, basketball, rugby are so deep rooted in US mindset that unless you see cricket being liked at the kids level, it cannot create any buzz. I agree with one of the statements in the other ideas. Cricket is far from gaining a "CULT" status. 

Well, on second thoughts, the NRSA (Non-Resident, South Asian)  Population might form a chunk of Cricket Fans and encourage short-form of cricket (i.e. 20:20 or ODIs), and may slowly bring in some Native Americans as a floating fans.

With such a long history of Cricket in India and with equally long Film Industry, we could come out with only One Cricket based movie (Lagaan), as apposed to the scores of  'base-ball' based movies or proud mention of the association with it by the leading actors in innumerable Hollywood movies.

I completely agree with Tony!! If you see the baseball films that Hollywood has produced with Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner and who have you, you will notice that in US baseball, basketball and American football are CULT games with people (men and women alike) follow their idols like gods!!

Cricket in its 2020 form would gain some moments of popularity but may not be able to achieve the CULT status!

Not much of a buzz I'm afraid - I can only think the 20/20 form of the game would be of any appeal but baseball is faar too prevalent.

Yes, if we can acquire a taste for baseball, they too can reciprocate.

It is very difficult to change the cultural preference of a nation, which has been rooted in a deeper historical attachment.
