Obama - the cricket fan?

It seems that Obama is reading Hiberno-Anglo-Dutch author Joseph O'Neill's Netherland: a 9/11 book (sort-of) which examines America through the medium of New York's cricket scene. No, really, it's a brilliant book.

Isn't it great though? An American president who actually reads books!

Might acquire that. I went to NYC last summer, and one of the first things I saw when we drove out of JFK Airport was a cricket pitch and people playing cricket. I couldn't believe my eyes.
