Great episode, though I feel like it's a little on the nose. That said this episode did enough for the sport of cricket that I think they'll make rusty the official mascot.
I'm more of a baseball fan with a very basic understanding of cricket rules. From my point of view, I did get the references as a pitcher/bowler to induce the general direction in which you want the hitter/batsman to hit the ball (preferrably to an area with fielders), use the ground/ballpark quirks to your advantage and the skill needed to hit a ball to a specific fielder. That last hit for Dusty was just enough for her to catch it without being too easy.

I really liked it. I'm a big sucker for any episode that ends in some sort of impactful flash forward.

It’s a great episode, not sure if it’s worth the 9.9 that it had on IMDB last time I checked but it’s still probably one of the best of the season.
