Review of Cricket, Anyone?

Having played cricket myself as a young boy, I was attracted to the title of this piece. Now it won't teach you a lot about the game, but will give you a good idea about the similarities it has with baseball. The culture of cricket games is described well by Mr. Meister, just enough to get you interested in looking up a game or two on television, maybe. The game has several other strict rules, not mentioned here, that add to the long hours it takes a match game to unfold. The piece, nevertheless, is a fine introduction for those yet unfamiliar with the game.
