A game too complicated and way too slow for the Americans who live their lives in the fast lane, may seem to be catching up with it Successor Baseball.

If you can't make out as to what I am saying then just check this out.
Cricket, which was once the national game of America, may have lost out to Baseball during the outbreak of the war of independence... As it was related to the British.
It seemed to them that game was too long and required a lot of equipment, whereas baseball was much easier, quicker and required less as equipment and the like... This game suited them perfectly at war... And since then the game is being played and now it is their national game.
Due to an enormous incursion of immigrants from the cricket-playing nation's such as India, Pakistan and the West Indies... The game is steadily making it back into America.
With the growing obsession for the game, we may see the American cricket team compete in the 2011 cricket World Cup.
