Cricket Rules The World!
What if, in the early years of the United States of America, Baseball doesn't catch on overly much. Then, when the Civil War comes along, the South decides to make Baseball its "national" sport, provoking the Union to consider the game for only secessionists. As a result, the sport gains even less favour in the North. Thus, by 1866, cricket has begun to gain much favour throughout the Northern states, whilst Baseball becomes entrenched in the South.
So what does this mean for the two ball games? Does the USA become the first nation to play Test Cricket against Britain? Do games, thus, between the UK & the USA, become national contests as a peaceful reminder of the Revolutionary War? Furthermore what of Baseball - what becomes of Baseball? And what of other cricketing nations? Do Australia & England still have the Ashes Series, or is that honour reserved for American v England matches? How about the West Indies? Can they defeat the powerful Cricket Team America? How about India, Pakistan & South Africa et al? Does the game of cricket unite the world in a manner akin to Soccer? Anything else? Discuss

1877 First Test between Australia and England. But the Aboriginal Australian Team played earlier than that. So the honour of the first Test Match would still belong to Australia.
