Baseball is the national sport in America, but there is also a cricket club in New York that has been established for 150 years. The Staten Island Cricket Club was founded in 1872 by British soldiers stationed here and Wall Street businessmen. Cricket matches are organized every year in this club. The club has also hosted Sirdan Bradman, Sergiy Soberza, and Geoffrey Boycott. The 92-year-old president of the club, Clarence Modest, said that the club has a lot to be proud of and that it has not been easy to last for so many years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Australian team also played a match at Walker Park in 1932, in which Sir Don Bradman also participated. In 1988, Sir Gary Sobers led the International XI at this ground.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
