With the Opening Ceremonies of the World Cup of Cricket taking place today, it will signal for us cricket fans a month long "feast" to savor great matchups with great players.
According to analysts, this World Cup is wide open, and any team (other than the non-Test playing nations) could win it. There is no clear cut favorite to win it, as it has been in the past. The only thing I hope for is that Australia isn't that winner.
The first match is on Tuesday (hosts West Indies v Pakistan). Unfortunately I will not be able to watch many live matches due to the match times being the same as working hours. Bummer! Luckily having a DVR makes up for that, but it's not fun to watch something that has already happened. Oh well, I have to live with it.
And for those non-enthusiasts, who don't know much about cricket, but want to know some basic terms, here is an ABC's of Cricket.
As for those who know baseball and want to know cricket (or vice versa; since both sports are somewhat similar), here is another good page to read up on.
