...why is cricket not an Olympic sport?

good question, but probably because Americans don't play it.

Here's a better question: Why is rugby no longer an Olympic Sport. By the Way, the U.S.A. is defending Olympic champ.

probably because it can take a couple days to play one game

And we all know that cricket is baseball on prozac.

Cricket can be played in a limited overs one day format which will produce a definite winner.

Yeah but that's cheating

(Actually, I think cricket should definitely be played the Olympics. They deserve each other as the most boring sport and the most boring sporting event in the universe)
