It would have been! By 1859 cricket was being played in at least 22 states, in over 125 cities and towns, and the numbers of clubs were estimated to be around 1000, per Wilke's Spirit of the Times. An American topped the English bowling averages; cricket clearly was America's game. What happened then, to turn the tide in baseball's favor? America's cricketing capital Philadelphia, hosted teams from Australia, Canada, England, Ireland and the West Indies. While early cricket evolved significantly in England, 'Wicket' its' precursor, continued to be played with the original technique for more than 300 years in Connecticut. Wherever the English went cricket followed, we find this in the early history of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay! The book showcases never-before seen pictures including art works and selected team scores depicting American cricket's glorious but unsung history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayesh Patel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0989678504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780989678506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jayesh Patel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.83d","brand":"Jayesh Patel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438084829439,"sku":"9780989678506","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46b07401-cb5b-4386-a882-739903d74ef6.jpg?v=1777168704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flannels-on-the-sward-jayesh-patel-9780989678506","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
