I bought the book ( an I am a cricket playing person) but often I come upon Americaan friend son my fb
who think of cricket as a insect 
. I think cricket in America and in Germany have as associated go quite a similar story even if the fall of america was bigger than German’s in that case. (as I don’t know if you are aware of the but the German football association (DFB) was founded as the German football and cricket assoication and there were lots of cricket fields in Germany. Unfortunately within the wars things were so golden for cricket(or for anything in that matter ) and with footballs growing popularity the one of cricket sank, and cricket fields were turned into football fields. ANyway thanks to the British bases in Germany cricket had a future again after the war and especially since the 80s it is on a rising branch again. Many of our club may still be comprimised by overseas and british players but the Germans(even if most of them are particularly anglophile) come more onto it. (my small city club(Hamburg has 4 cricket clubs) we have gained 4 Germans over the last season, which is a record number and in fact we are the most cosmopolitan of the clubs around as we have and had players from everywhere in varying degrees .)
