Cricket - Getting Started
I would guess most of you looking in on this page are not Cricket fans and are just curious.
Some of you may be Cricket fans already.
If you are not a Cricket fan and are not interested, indifferent to it, think its strange or just have no idea what Cricket is about, click on the images above and watch the videos and match highlights.
Take a look at ESPN3.com for some live or archived full broadcast Cricket matches.
This will give you great look at how the game is played, complete with commentary and analysis right along with live match action.
If watching these clips and bits of matches gets you the least bit curious, then dig a little deeper and go to these places on the web:
Cricinfo.com (ESPN)
BBC Sport Cricket Homepage
For some good information on how the game is played (batting, bowling, fielding, etc.), try this site:

It took me a three highlight clips to get hooked into the sport.
It took me about a year's time before I was really familiar with what was going on in a match.
Stick with it.
Cricket is a truly rewarding sport.
