This looks great. What are you going to use to play cricket? I've only used one very rudimentary cricket sim (freeware, I think). Are there good ones that allow historical and/or custom play?
I've look at the 1850s NY Clipper, and it is amazing how popular cricket was. Cricket box scores outnumber baseball box scores by huge amounts. Basically, it had reached the same stage of development in the late 1850s that baseball reached in the late 1860s...but never really went beyond that.
BTW, I've been able to get good results in OOTP 2006 for 1871 baseball (editing the engine file in the config folder for errors and some baserunning details), and I think it might be possible to get decent results for the 1850s and 60s, too (though I haven't really tried). While fooling around, I have been able to get league fielding percentages as low as .795 or so.
