They probably all live on the same street
My question also.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game that is played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. Two players from the batting team (the striker and nonstriker) stand in front of either wicket holding bats, with one player from the fielding team (the bowler) bowling the ball towards the striker's wicket from the opposite end of the pitch. The striker's goal is to hit the bowled ball with the bat and then switch places with the nonstriker, with the batting team scoring one run for each exchange. Runs are also scored when the ball reaches or crosses the boundary of the field or when the ball is bowled illegally.
The earliest known definite reference to cricket is to it being played in South East England in the mid-16th century. It spread globally with the expansion of the British Empire, with the first international matches in the second half of the 19th century. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket

Sorry my error. It’s been a while now since I followed any cricket. :)
But considering the lack of space. Likewise,
Houses in the UK are smaller. Actually, they are a lot smaller. The average house size in the UK is 818 sqft (square feet). Compare that to the average house in the US at 2,164 sqft https://alifeaway.com/british-vs-american-houses/
Ask ChatGPT to explain the basic rules and ask follow up questions as needed. Give it some context saying you’re an American unfamiliar with the sport.
