        I think you’re right. Kind of like how in India every insurance plan or pension is called a “scheme” which to my American ear makes it sound sinister.

      I think that language is more referring to the fact that nobody in the United States gives a shit about cricket. Like most (99.999%+) Americans wouldn’t have the slightest idea where to find a cricket field.

      Edit: I did a quick Google and it’s more like 99.942% not playing, so astonishingly, it’s probably fair to say that only 99.9% of Americans cannot locate a cricket field. I would have thought it’d be significantly closer to 100%.
