| Cricket. A True American Game?! |

I'm not sure where my love of cricket comes from, I don't even remember being really aware of it until just before my teens, but something about it gripped me and wouldn't let go. It definitely pre-dates my involvement with Mrs whiskypriest, who is a real cricket fanatic.
I was surprised to find this:

but the story of English class snobbery stifling the development of cricket as a professional sport across the pond definitely rings true. |
