The Second Innings: A History of American Cricket (English Edition) baixar o livro de graça

How America fell in love again with a sport which was its favorite during colonial times and the early days of the Republic, but fell away and disappeared completely. The author had a catbirds seat for the soccer revolution in the United States both covering the sport and working in multiple front offices. Cricket's recent trajectory is reminiscent of what soccer has gone through to become a big-time sport in the United States. With the US hosting the 2028 LA games where Cricket will return to the Olympics and having hosted a recent T-20 Men's World Cup,

The sports history in this country from colonial times through the waves of immigration in the late 20th Century are examined closely and much like soccer, it is ethnic communities that fueled the growth of cricket in the US. Cricket was played during the Revolutionary War by the Continental Army at Valley Forge and now is being played once again in mass within the United States.

We also examine the growth of Cricket in Canada, the West Indies, India, Australia and South Africa to give perspective on the decline, fall and rise again of the sport in the United States.

This is the story of how a sport conquered North America, died and now is being revived.
