6:22 Needed a mention that ICC at the time closed its membership to countries outside the British Empire which also played a role in Cricket's decline in countries like US & even Argentina.

Great video. Did you know WG Grace was a Gloucestershire doctor? I didn't know how much he changed batting technique. One thing I'm intersted in is where you get your B-roll footage from. It adds so much to the video.

The production value of this video is incredible. Voice over narration is very well done as well. Is the narrator also the creator of the video? Either way, excellent job

Amazing video❤.
Well researched and presented
Ive heard W G Grace invented the mordern day Orthodox batting technique, but pictures suggest that there was substantial gap between his bat and pad while playing the forward defense. Why is that? After all forward defense is the most basic shot right?

The US is making moves for popularizing cricket in the US
