The family trains together, honing the boys' skills in a game that's now catching on across the country. And it's not as easy as it looks.
Cricket was invented in 17th century England and spread across the globe with the British Empire arriving in Australia, the West Indies and India by the 18th century. The game is played on a 360-degree field with batters on one team trying to score runs by hitting the ball past fielders and a pitcher known as a bowler on the opposing team, all while protecting their wickets from the ball.
It remains most popular in former British colonies like India, Pakistan, South Africa and Australia. So why is this old British game taking off in the United States?
