This looks a bit odd: aren't American football, basketball and soccer ball games? Loganberry ( Talk) 22:39, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
"Yet the USA did not develop into a cricket playing nation" - it was evidently one of the first cricket playing nations.
Removed reference to American Civil War as on the face of it is not connected to rise in popularity of baseball(?).
Removed 2 links ('Decline & fall of Cricket in the USA' & 'ICC expels USA....' both not very up to date, also both oddly misleading)
Added headings and expanded section on decline in popularity.
The articles infobox notes that the USA has played in 4 first class matches. Looking at this page, there are 5 matches listed for the United States and the "Players of United States of America." Are these not included in the totals for the national side?-- Eva b d 04:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm trying to bring some order to
United States cricket team (you can see my working draft
here) and
History of United States cricket (my working draft will be
here). Any help that can be offered is most welcome.--

Several online sources note that the first international match between the US and Canada took place at the St George's Cricket Club in New York. this page from CricketArchive says that it took place in Montreal. Who's right?-- Eva b d 12:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything substantial about cricket in Puerto Rico? So far on the internet the only facts I've found are that there is one cricket club in San Juan (called the Puerto Rico Cricket Club) and that there is no Puerto Rico Cricket Association (due to the lack of at least 2 other clubs on the island). It also seems that Puerto Rico's sole cricket club also participates in South American tournaments (alongside Guyana, Argentina, Brazil and Peru). I was wondering if Puerto Rico's cricket club was autonomous or not, but I can find no hard information to support this. I have come across mention of Puerto Rico as falling in the Southeast cricketing region on the USACA's website (along with Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas), but in the list of cricket associations for the Southeast region the only ones are from Florida (plenty of them too) and Georgia - no mention of the Puerto Rico cricket club. Does anyone have any more info about cricket in Puerto Rico? 72.27.29.124 01:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I would have liked to recommend this for A-class review but I'm afraid the incomplete 2008 ICC World Cricket League Division Five section lets it down. It is nevertheless a definite B-class. BlackJack | talk page 16:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Wondering what the reasons were for getting shut out by the ICC, I imagine it must be recorded somewhere. And apart from the resistance to professionalism, the other problem in the US I've come across was the colour bar (as with baseball), presumably that would have made it hard to integrate the American game with say cricket in the Caribbean (regional tournaments, tours).

I was wondering, were the matches that the United States played in the 2010 World Cricket League Divisions 5 and 4 considered "List A" cricket? If so, aren't the United States List A statistics in bad need of an update? Keel Nar 03:35, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
"Wagers of around $120,000 were placed on the outcome of the match [in 1844!]. This is equivalent to around $1.5 million in 2007."
Surely there is a zero missing or inserted somewhere? I doubt that even the Swiss Franc has inflated by a factor as small as 12 in that period! JonRichfield ( talk) 09:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

The roster of players includes two players named Elmore Hutchinson. One is listed as a 22-yo right-handed batsman/left-arm fast-medium bowler, and the other is listed as a 27-yo right-handed batsman/right-arm off-break bowler.
Both of these entries link to the page Elmore Hutchinson, who is listed at 39, and as a left-arm fast-medium bowler.
The USA Cricket page does have two different entries for Elmore Hutchinson playing for Team USA...
It's possible that the USA Cricket entry is in error; the first link seems to line up with the better-known Elmore Hutchinson. The second entry may be another player who happens to share the same name, or it may be a data entry error on USA Cricket's behalf.
If it's the former (sharing same name), our second link should point to a new page for the "other" Elmore Hutchinson. If it's the latter (data entry error), we should probably remove the incorrect entry, or at least note it.
