A Python client for ESPNCricInfo's match and summary JSON.
The splendid espncricinfo.com site not only provides individual HTML pages of cricket matches, it also provides a JSON representation of data from each match. This Python library provides access to many of those JSON attributes as well as some helper functions. All you need is the match ID, which is the number at the end of a match page URL. See the Usage section for instructions, and see match.py for individual functions.
