You really need only 2 people to play backyard cricket and it scales well with increasing numbers from there. You only need a bat-shaped object, a ball and something to use as the wicket. Objects from the local environment make excellent stand in fielders. I think bowling competently is the barrier for new players.

You only need 2 people for backyard whiffle ball. I played 1 v 1 a lot because even if you joined several baseball teams, that could only get you 2-3 hours of baseball a day anytime except Saturday. 1v1 baseball generally required more work since a well hit baseball covers more ground. We also played "pepper" which was a bunting game with at least two kids. "Hotbox" and "burnout", a base running drill/game and a slightly sadistic game of catch, were two more we could play with 2+. I also practiced pitching solo via a brick wall.
