Not very international vocabulary outside England, Oz, NZ India, Pakistan, West indies, and S.Africa.
Top matches are called test matches, which can last several days, and can seem slow. Spot wickets, batsmen bowlers, fielders, runs , catches, umpires etc. The MCC, Englands central cricket authority. is the middlesex cricket club, middlesex being a whole county which london swallowed. Their grounds are called Lords'.The annual test match between England and Oz is for the "ashes" The several thousand word vocabulary for the sport includes such gems as "silly mid-on" and "silly mid-off", maiden overs , etc.
Enjoy.
