Has espncricinfo.com exposed an API? I'm interested in live scores, news, and maybe photos.
Up until now I have only known of the rss feed..

The ESPN Scores & Schedules API provides game/match information, including start times, venue, competitors, score, and stats across every major sport. Depth of statistics and data varies by sport. This API is currently a version 1 (/v1/) release. The ESPN Scores & Schedules API accepts a GET request.
Charges for Accessing the ESPN API. ESPN may charge a fee to access the ESPN API (and related Content) or a particular Tool.
Developers looking for access to an ESPN API can head over to the Developer Center now to request a developer key. access to an ESPN API can now go to the ESPN Developer Center and request a developer key. The ESPN crew will be at SXSW to meet with developers and give a tour of its new resources.
King, Simon King registered Cricinfo as a privately owned company in the UK in 1996.
I do not believe an API exists - unfortunately.
What a number of users have done - and what is suggested by cricinfo themselves - is use Yahoo Pipes to merge a number of different feeds. You can then get the resultant pipe in JSON and other formats.
It's probably best demonstrated by example by looking at a 'Latest cricket scores' pipe here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=tMcVGcqn3BGvsT__2R2EvQ
Of course, it would be nice to be able to search the statistics and a REST service which returns the bare data for a statsguru search, but the only suggestion I have at present is to build statsguru queries manually with wrappertype=print appended and then use xpath to filter out the data you require.
An example statsguru query:
