Does anyone here follow cricket? Maybe someone from outside the US? It isn't really popular here, but I have really gotten into the game. I am following The Ashes and am completely caught up in it!
There are a few things I don't understand yet, so I could use some help there.
Thanks.

I watched it some when I lived in England, I found it fascinating as well!

I think I got to where I understood what they were trying to do... what I really enjoyed were some of the terms!

I'm from a "cricket country" originally. I don't follow it these days, but I love the sport and I miss it a lot. My favorite is when the World Cup rolls around.

If you have any questions about one day cricket I can probably explain a lot. Test cricket I'm a bit rusty on since I haven't watched it since I was a teenager.

It isn't on tv here, but I have been following the ashes. I am really getting into the sport now that I have a better understanding of the gameplay.

I always liked the names of the positions. Silly mid-off! And listening to it on the radio in England.
