-An over = 6 balls, "bowled" (pitching). Bowler is replaced, has a limit per game. -Two batters at once, if they're "out" they're eliminated from the innings. -Can usually score one or two, running back and forth... you're out from a caught fly ball or a throw at the wickets. (Getting a zero isn't elimination, it's a decision.) -Rolling to the wall = four. Over the wall = six (home run equivalent). -11 players, so 10 wickets is an early end. T20 is the # of overs. /// This is the 101 of the 101, my first week... watch old matches on Youtube. "Run rate" is an easy stat to learn, since they do all of their hitting at once. "Invincibles need 97 runs in 86 balls. Runs per ball: 2.28 • Required RPB: 1.12". Each over will read [0-1-W-4-0-6]. The best players will become crowd favorites, once you learn the dang rules... hitting 50+ runs

The county treble can be completed with a T30 (best of 3) in the main stadium. Major League Cricket (MLC) went June 12 to July 13 in 2025... based on that. 1) County T20s, May/June, at the main grounds. Cuyahoga, Summit, Lorain, whoever. (Rent a few Spiders then). 2) Major League Cricket (T20) takes over the stadium. The county level becomes more semi-pro, rural wedding venue with lawn chairs, and runs all-day T40 events. Double round robin, straight standings without a playoff attached. 3) Can have one last event, early August, before preseason Browns and postseason Guardians take over. The counties in the stadium again, top two in a best of three. 20-40-30 = treble. We'll teach everyone to care, outside of the MLC... you're being inculcated, "mate". https://www.espncricinfo.com/

"Worcestershire didn't get to bat all their overs, the presumption is that if they knew they only had 47 overs at the start they would have been more aggressive and scored a few more runs. So the target to chase gets inflated. " + "rain came and shortened the match towards the end of Worc’s innings, at which point the Duckworth Lewis Stern method (DLS) comes into play.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nottinghamshire_County_Cricket_Club ... my official team, found them by accident today. Watching from North Carolina (NCC = NC elite logo), prefer the green uniforms, it's Robin Hood area (thought I'd try the Manchester area team, but hadn't watched anything yet). They're down to 4 runs with the last 6 balls, no wickets left to spare. This is what the "fast food" made-for-TV formats are trying to recreate, without 6 hour times. /// They tied https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/one-day-cup-2025-1461951/nottinghamshire-vs-worcestershire-group-a-1461966/live-cricket-score ... more importantly, I "cared". They were down quite a bit, too... the tie is impressive.

You could gamble on this shit without watching it. They'd have bookies* on this, the "innings" (singular and plural) are one each. They choose who goes first, amass as many runs as possible, swap sides. No commercials! https://www.espncricinfo.com/live-cricket-score "Fire need 95 runs in 60 balls." -> "Fire need 94 runs in 59 balls." -> "Fire need 93 runs in 58 balls." 0-1-2-4-6. I can see why the ESPN app is separate, it's easy to follow. /// *breaking your kneecaps for being a bum, who didn't pay up. The English and South Africans might be a little stuffy, doubt the Australians and Kiwis would mind. Especially happy for the West Indies, India, and the rest. Give it a chance, it's better than it looks
