- We have been attracting quite an audience unfamiliar with the
- game as well. There a Canadian in our group who has played in
- only one cricket game in his entire life but is an avid fan of
- the game, so we'd look at the match while he explains the finer
- points to the uninitiated masses. He's quite good at it too!

- And as a reminder, you can see the game at the Crimson Sports
- Grill at the corner of J.F.Kennedy St. & Eliot St. in Harvard
- Square, Cambridge.
