This weekend, I actually saw a bunch of guys playing cricket.  In a
public park in my humble little just-north-of-Seattle suburb.  It is
the first time I have ever seen anyone play cricket in the U.S. save
for a formal demonstration.  

They players were fairly dark-skinned black guys, and they were speaking a
language I could not identify from a distance, but it was not English.
Would anyone have any idea where they might be from?  I asked an Ethiopian
lady I know, but I think she confused cricket with croquet.
