Nice game to watch, but I would not want to play it. I had a nice Indian friend of ours explain it. A very complicated and complex game with tons of strategy.

We had some guys playing Cricket just a few miles from where I live. I wish I had the time on the weekends to watch them play.

It is a bit hard to understand if you haven't grown up with it. Over here you get lots of games played in backyards all around the country so kids get a fel for it from very early on. But they do need to be weaned off the local rules of backyard cricket once they hit school. No more 6 & out not more one handed catch of the garage roof etc.
