very interesting stat that u would have 414 international players playing 2 or more forms of the game when you only have 11 in a team how many countrys have offical icc status spelly ?

It does vary - Ireland for example gained ODI status for a couple of years by defeating two full members - Pakistan and Bangladesh. There have been 16 countries this year to have played an international.

I can't see it happening in the near future (12-16 years), but if it did (and who knows, never say never ) it would probably be in 20/20 format. I guess it wouldn't really be much of a prestige to it - not many people remember that South Africa won the Gold at the Commonwealth Games in 1998 (Australia got Silver), but it would be a fantastic advert for the game.

It might give Greco Roman wrestling a bit of a shake for entertainment stakes, too.
