Show HN: Plain Text Live Cricket Score

Hi HN, I built CricLite (https://criclite.com), a minimalist live cricket scores website. A few months back, I saw plaintextsports.com and loved its simple design, but it didn't cover cricket. With cricket having around 2.5 billion fans worldwide, I thought this was a perfect side project. The site is deliberately simple: pure ASCII text, no JavaScript, loads instantly (around 10KB), and works everywhere - browsers, terminals, you name it.

You can even grab scores directly from the terminal:

curl -s https://criclite.com/plain.txt

The entire goal was to create the fastest, most no-nonsense way to check cricket scores.
