The Compton Cricket Club sprang out of a previous cricket team called the LA Crickets, which was a group of homeless men residing at the Dome Village for the Homeless in downtown Los Angeles. This was born after Katy Haber (team manager) introduced me to the game and we had taken the homeless guys, one of the first American-born cricket tour to England since 1926. And when we returned back, we of course wanted to spread the etiquette, not just the physical game itself, but the etiquette of the sport into homeless people and into the inner cities for young people, because it can help to civilise them. So one of our team members (who is a Muslim, by the way) suggested that we take it to his home town of Compton in California, which is the home base or the capital of gangsta rap and all that, that you’ve heard about, coming straight out of Compton.
...That’s why everybody in the world is waiting on something to happen for the American colony to finally come home to its original sport.
