Jomboy did a great cricket explanation vid in the last year; and it totally got me into watching it. (I’m watching the replay of this game right now. )

ESPN+ has the Indian primer league the best players in the world. It’s a blast to watch.

I had a Brit I was deployed with try and teach me, but I think I’d just have to dedicate more time to understanding. It sounded like calvinball to me , but he loved it and I’m sure he’s stoked now, so him happy for England.
