What context does your link provide?

I'm not being snarky; can you just make it explicit in your comment instead of leaving a vague comment linking to something that takes 15-20 minutes to read?

Is there a good resource that could make someone not knowing anything about cricket understand it to a level that watching a game would be enjoyable, without spending ages on learning what it is about?

go to a local event I guess
