We are now in a position to expand the publication one again with a new office set to open later this month in Japan, thanks to the shows huge ratings over there". This is the teams second attempt at television, after a failed attempt at hosting 2003's Celebrity Cricket, Jones explains "we really knew nothing about the history of the game, we just found that we were hosting a tournament every weekend at my summer home in the Hamptons, so we thought as we play cricket with all these celebrity's that come by like clockwork every Saturday morning, well lets shoot this and get it on the sports network, so we did" One look into Mr.Jones ice blue eyes tells you he lives for the publication and the television show, but his real joy is "finding that next big thing, embracing that talent and facilitate the growth of that talent for the rest of the world to enjoy".-Mary Zocco.
