If T20 makes the olymics other major countries like USA, China, Germany, France ect.. will start to take cricket seriously. This can onlybegood for the development of the game as a global sport
australia population = 19 million (Approx population of mumbai) Olympic tally = 14 gold, 15 silver, 17 bronze. I consider them a bigger sporting power than USA( 300million) and china(1300 million)
if football can find the place in olympics,then certainly cricket is no different to football.after all there is an superb equality among the sports played in olympics,there is no dominance present in olympics of any game/sport.so it would not be the case where cricket will be the epicenter of the interest of the fans all over the globe.
T20 does nuthing...lets have 5 day matches which test the players skill..unlike t20 where half talented guys like gony,mccullum,asnodkar etc make merry, unlike tests where ganguly, sachin are legends. 5 day matches for olympics, and GOLD MEDAL courtesy Sachin
If cricket include in Olympics we can expect one silver or bronze, gold medal will be sure to Australia. We can tell to others our popular games is a olympic item.
Please dont include Cricket otherwise China will beat india and will win medals. Its better that among 8 nations we are one of the best. So please dont lose this status.
Its better to have cricket sports in olympics because people have more Craze about cricket n football So india can get one more gold in Cricket comming OLY.2013

Fool, 20 -20 takes not more than 3, 3.5 hours. 15 overs can be bowled in an hour , count yourself. A tennis match can go upto 3 hours why we cant have a team game which goes for 3 hours.

23% people of olympic participating countries live in cricket playing nations. The only problem was a cricket match take long time. But we can include now 20-20 format in olympic.

20-20 will take atleast 4 to 5 hours for a match. there is no such a long time game in OLY. & it is the game of lazy people.so not include is better
