Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this had happened and read it all with a smile on my face. We watch a lot of baseball in the house, but now I’m keen to see cricket at the Olympics

It was a fun match to watch.
I'd recommend you to watch this video to get a basic idea about the sport.
You can keep an eye for future MLC events.
Leagues/Tournaments worth watch:
- The Hundred - happening right now
- IPL (most popular league) - will be played next year
- BBL (Australian league cricket) - Starts October 10
- The Ashes (Australia vs England, each match can take up to 5 days)
- Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia vs India, same duration as above)
Really appreciate the links! Always enjoy learning new things and you’ve provided a great starting point.
Found the highlights as well.
You’re absolutely amazing! Any team you fancy? I’d like to keep my tradition of following the team of the person who introduces me to the sport haha.
😂 Australia and India. I don't follow any particular ones in the league cricket.
Australia men's team will be playing in early September. And the women's team will be playing in late September, followed by T20 World Cup in October.
India men's team will be playing against Sri Lanka today. And women's team just lost against Sri Lanka in the final of Asia Cup. They will now play in the T20 World Cup.
You can try and watch today's game here - use an ad-blocker though.
