Talk:United States cricket team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Currently, pupils not selected for baseball teams have no ball game to play
This looks a bit odd: aren't American football, basketball and soccer ball games? Loganberry (Talk) 22:39, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- They're not summer sports though. It could be clarified. I presume in summer American kids either play baseball or nothing, but I'm not sure about that. -dmmaus 23:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- In America, anyone can play baseball. You could literaly be the worst player in history and play in a youth league. Other sports in summer include football, soccer (football if you will), tennis, street basketball, golf, casual badminton and volleyball(like basketball played as a team sport in winter). That's all the ball sports I can think of right now. Hardly anyone (never met anyone until college, and even then it was only through a cricket phys ed course) outside of recent transplants into American culture plays cricket.

[edit] cricket playing nation?
"Yet the USA did not develop into a cricket playing nation" - it was evidently one of the first cricket playing nations.
Removed reference to American Civil War as on the face of it is not connected to rise in popularity of baseball(?).
Removed 2 links ('Decline & fall of Cricket in the USA' & 'ICC expels USA....' both not very up to date, also both oddly misleading)
Added headings and expanded section on decline in popularity.
