Cricket is chirping!

World Cup fever has gripped India! Not in soccer, mind you....but in cricket. Since our arrival, the local paper's sports section has been chock full of previews, tributes, opinions, stats, and articles to this sport beloved by many here. Really...it's the only game I've seen played recreationally around here, be it in a schoolyard, park, beach, empty lot, or just down the street (interest stoked in no small part to India making it to the previous World Cup final). "L" and Mom have been scouring for TV broadcast times. Seems I'd better bone up on my knowledge of cricket quick, if I want to be a part of the excitement...
