Examines the fortunes of cricket in various colonies as the sport spread across the British Empire. This text attempts to explain why cricket was so successful, even in countries such as India, Pakistan and the West Indies, where the Anglo-Saxon element remained in a small minority. It demonstrates the power of cultural imperialism, as former imperial subjects adhered to the sporting and recreational models that the imperialists had introduced.
