Is there any place where I can get cricket data feeds? I just want to build a small site, won't be making any money, so paying hundreds (or thousands) of dollars every month is out of question.

A: 

Yahoo has Sports RSS feeds and let's you develop against them to some extent

Developing with Feeds

As a developer you can use the content within the Yahoo! RSS feed for your own web or client applications. RSS is a flavor of XML and as such you can use any XML parsing libraries to work with RSS. Please see Terms of Use for information on using Yahoo! feeds in your application. Yahoo! RSS feeds conform to the RSS 2.0 specification. Depending on the feed and its contents, the RSS feed may also include namespace extensions. For example, many feeds include the GeoRSS extension, which enables geographic latitude and longitude information to be included in the feed. Some image and media feeds include Media RSS extensions for images, audio and sound enclosures. See Resources for specifications and the specific feed for details.

Terms of Use

Yahoo! RSS feeds are free of charge for individuals, and non-profit organizations for non-commercial use. Attribution is required if you use the feed in your own application or service. Usually this requires including text or image for the Yahoo! product or service from which you got the feed in your application. Attribution information is included in each feed. Each Yahoo! product or service may also have more specific terms of use for the RSS feed; see the RSS help pages for the service for details, if available. Yahoo! RSS feeds may also be subject to rate limiting. The limit varies from feed to feed.

there only seems to be a generic sports feed...not sure if there is feed for each sport
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/eurosport/tickerdb/sport/226.xml -- it has headlines. Not sure what happens when there are games -- you might have to follow links and scrape the story.
