Texan Billionaire Sir Allen Stanford (as a 'Sir', I imagine that he's not really Texan) believes that he can turn Twenty20 cricket into the biggest team sport in the World and is putting his money where his mouth is.

I can only imagine that his calculations are based on the popularity of the game in India and the increasing wealth of that country, rather than the likelihood of converting non-cricketing nations.

Has he overestimated the popularity of the game?

Has he underestimated the challenge he's set?

Is he a visionary?

Is he a marketing genius?

Or is he raving mad?

Here's the story on the BBC website.

What do you think?
