I've seen several people independently (AFAIK) seize on that cricket match as an example of Not Science Fiction. You can follow what's going on emotionally. You can follow, roughly, who is winning the game and by how wide a margin, and how difficult it's going to be for the other team to catch up. You can understand everything you need to understand for the scene to make plot sense and emotional sense.

But if you don't already know cricket, you will not learn a damned thing about the gameplay or the rules from that scene.
