The Americans used to play internationally until the British limited international cricket to only countries in the Empire.

in fact the very first international game of cricket did not involve England at all, but did involve the USA... against.... Canada!

Aussie, aussie, aussie!

BTW: The genuine article has been here, I had it here for a series of tv commercials, maybe 20 years ago, it was always accompanied by two armed and beefy pommy coppers. A nice little junket for them, eh?

no they do that cause they're wussies....

I remember seeing on an american show when there was an aussie AFL(might have been rugby i dont follow the non round ball shaped sports) team in the states and they were invited to play grid iron, when they turned up on the field in stubbies and singlets then offered the protective gear they turned it down saying something along the lines of "Nahh she'll be right mate"

the yanks turned around and walked off saying "are you **@##$g nuts" and there was many a pale face amongst the yanks later that night when they got to see the footage of the game the aussies played.
