cricket
Let an agent explain cricket, its rules, formats and governance, relay results and records from official sources, distinguish formats and informal variants, and route current fixtures to official data.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
