History of United States cricket

The article has easily passed the WP:CRIC criteria for B-class rating. It was previously given an informal A-class rating and it should now be subject to formal A-class review. I have just removed a "trivia" section to improve its quality. The essence of A-class is completeness and I believe that it does provide a comprehensive presentation of the subject. I think User:Evadb and User:Andrew nixon have done some particularly good work on this article. BlackJack | ^{talk page} 16:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a very good article. However I'd like to see a brief mention of post WW1 cricket in the Philadelphia region, which didn't completely die out until at least 1928, as a brief search on CricketArchive will show.

To answer myself, apparently it wasn't a tour, the players being Americans who had emigrated from Nottingham and Sheffield. I found that from this excellent site on US cricket history, which a Google search has just unearthed: [2] JH (talk page) 19:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
