China and Cricket ?????

When you would think about China you would conjure up visions of the Great Wall, Shanghai Bund and Tsingtao, but How about China and cricket??

It seems China has taken some brisk and steady steps towards the sport of cricket...They even have a former Pakistani fast bowler as the coach for their cricket teams cutting across age groups and even the sexes...

The Chinese women’s team even reached the semifinal of the Asian women’s cricket tournament in Kuala Lumpur recently.

The current goal of the Chinese is to play well in the Asian Games at home in 2010.

Well.. Now I want to see how a HK Vs China match is played out!! hehehe
