Add Cricket

[Divinitous]

There are some cricket scoreboards but they all seem to require an API that is very limited in refreshes.

I could code it to limit calls except when a game is live (I’ve tried to do that to some extent with ESPN to avoid excessive calls). Let me know the best option(s) and I’ll try when I have time.

I'd be more interested in tracking the progress of a team through the series. I'm making a screen for a big cricket fan and this sport seems to be very limited when it comes to people who code for MMM. 2 of the 3 work, but the API queries are limited for 200 a month for the free subscriptions that I can see.

I really enjoy cricket, and made time for it every afternoon when I visited Australia, but they don’t really cover it here, so I don’t follow it. It may be that this is better as its own module rather than being shoehorned into the format that works for the sports this module covers, but I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to create something. The limitation seems to be the number of calls. I was thinking on the order of 1000 per day. 200 per month limits things significantly, and without a good free source (or willingness to pay for acccess), no amount of coding is going to be a panacea.
