Basketball and Volleyball were famously both invented in the 1890s in YMCAs located in Massachusetts. Obviously those sports have persisted on, but I figure there were other sports invented around that time that just never caught on, but haven't been able to find any.
During the Windies/Sri Lanka match today, I made the claim that Anderson Phillip was someone who is a 'AAAA' cricketer. Someone who can dominate their domestic/FC competition, but just can't figure out the international level. For evidence, his FC Avg is 25.89 with an economy of 3.80 and SR of 40.8. His corresponding test metrics are 65.90, 4.81, and 82.2.
For those unaware, a 'AAAA' player comes from baseball and describes a player that is too good to play in the minor leagues but not quite good enough to succeed in the MLB
Wanted to see if anyone else had some good examples, or just use it as an excuse to remember some random guys.
