Cricket ball by ball API
Ball by ballEvery ball bowled in a match.
Ask for it by our id, taken from any other cricket answer. The ids inside the answer each open their own endpoint, so you can follow a record from here to everything it links to.
It needs id. Leave one out and the answer names it, before any data is read.
