It was almost a year ago that Shane Warne picked up the phone to call his friend in India.
As one of the top cricketers in history, the Australian had an idea he wanted to share with another great from the sport, Sachin Tendulkar.
"We are both very passionate about the game," Warne said. "And we both love America."
It was a simple plan: Assemble two all-star teams for a tour of the U.S. and play the games in Major League Baseball parks.
The tough part? Getting people to come watch.
"It's a sport-loving nation," Tendulkar said.
