The Novice's Guide to Cricket: The World's Second Most Popular Sport

Online
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.
