Have you ever stumbled upon a game of Cricket and thought to yourself …. that’s nice …. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON ???? Well with the help of the Farmington Cricket Club … we’re bout to find out. I hope.

That’s right … it’s the historic and revered game of cricket, a bat-and-ball game that dates back to 16th century England. So, why are people still playing today? Beats me … because I can’t figure out how the darn game works.

Lucky for me … Kamal Ambati displayed both patience and grace while attempting to transfer his cricket knowledge to my cranium.   

Well, even though I didn’t quite understand what was going on yet … Kamal and his mates were nice enough to let me try a few quick swings of the flat bat. Can you say mediocre?

Once the game got underway … I set out to truly understand it … So I tossed out a few questions to some of the competing cricketers.

Well, if you’re looking for the idiots guide to cricket, I’m pretty much it. But suffice it to say, I learned a lot, made some awesome new friends, got some much needed exercise and had an absolute blast. If you want to sharpen ‘your’ mind, forget crossword puzzles. Join a cricket league near you and learn this crazy game. It’s great cardio and your cerebral cortex will thank you for it.

It will also thank you for spending some quality time in SE Michigan. Because with this much stuff to do … you won’t know what to do with yourself.
