Note that the theme "we'll wait" is quite appropriate. There was no cricket played in England from 1914-1918 or from 1939-1945. Over 150 players from English International and domestic teams were killed in the First World War and over 70 in the 2nd.

July 14, 2019: Cricket One Day International (ODI--50 overs--300 deliveries per side--about the length of a baseball double header) World Cup Final: England v New Zealand
The first quadrennial World Cup was played in 1975. Of the teams that have participated in all World Cups, only England and New Zealand had never won. They met in a fantastic final, that went to a "super over" as the teams were tied after 600 legitimate deliveries had been bowled. This 8 minute highlight video is as good an introduction for the new fan as I can imagine.
England's 50th over. They need 15 runs from 6 deliveries to win.
