Cricket - the original American pastime

Cricket - the original American pastime - is making a comeback, finding new life among U.S. immigrant communities http://bit.ly/1yzKdZU

parks are filled at the lower level but will be a long time for an international calibre team.

(Yawn)  Same old stereotype:  "Oh, cricket!  That's a nice little game for the foreigners but Americans certainly aren't
going to take it seriously."

American cricket = non-English/Australian/Windies, cricket.  I.e., no Jurassic Age cricket, no
