American Premier League – What?! T20 Cricket in the USA?

So in the last few days I’m seeing rumblings (but not major news articles) about a new American Premier League. A T20 Cricket tournament to be held in New York in October, and again in Florida in April 2010.

They have a website, http://americanpremierleague.us – That link is to their about page, right now their main page has annoyingly stuck video and little more than a legal threat of prosecution if you copy anything on their page. Sure, that’s everyone’s right, but let’s try to be a little friendlier to the bloggers who might get you some publicity, OK?

Really? T20 in the United States? More power to them if they can do it. It’s a far more interesting game than baseball, but somehow I doubt the masses will see it that way.
