Would there be anyway that the U.S. could be playing test cricket today?
Cricket was popular and upto the 1840's and again before WW1. One bloke who played it was called George Washington, and it was played alot in New England before the U.S. civil war. Another English sport started to take over from the 1850's onward, which was baseball. One reason of this could be, it was more easy to set up the 'ground' than cricket. Whether this is true, I don't know. It is just as easy to carry cricket equipment as it is baseball stuff. You do not need a perfectly rolled pitch to play cricket, only a flat piece of ground as you do with baseball. So why did it die out or could there be a POD which it didn't? Maybe a president played it or someone with money set up a league.
The last ICC ranking I could find placed the U.S. number 50 in the word about 25-30 places below Afghanistan. And not one player was born in the U.S.
