Went to a match once in Antigua. Never could grasp the playing of it. The others in the stands had a great time.
As with any "game" the good players make it look simple and easy while it's not. More skill required than I could ever muster.
Played it when i lived in England - it's a great game and i can tell you for sure that a leather cricket ball hurts a hell of a lot more than a baseball does when it hits you!
