Did you know that cricket, with 2.5 billion fans, is the world’s second most popular sport? And that there are many vibrant cricket leagues throughout the U.S. – from amateur to professional? And that one of the best fields in Northern California is right here in Davis? In this session, we’ll explore some of the basics of cricket – the history, principal rules and terminology, and how it compares/contrasts with baseball. And later in the year, we may arrange a field trip for you to watch a cricket match. Get ready for wickets, overs, dots, cow corners, grubbers and yorkers. This course will be presented in interview format online with OLLI member Mike Elfant leading the discussion.
