That's one of only 3 or 4 cricket players I have ever heard of.
That is hilarious.

Tasman Sea final
Re: Cricket
Yeah, a couple of good semis, but not terribly surprising it would be the Aussies and Kiwis duking it out. Should be a great match though. I'll be up early Sunday to watch.
(It's on ESPN+ for anyone interested in checking out some cricket before NFL on Sunday. World Cup final match is a great time to try and get into the game)

Tired of watching others play with the sticky wicket, huh?

New Zealand's Devon Conway will miss Sunday's showpiece against Australia at the T20 World Cup after breaking his hand punching his own bat.

Oz are strangling the NZ batters
Re: Cricket
Kiwis starting to warm up. Weird to see Starc get lit up like this. Williamson might get a century.

Re: Cricket
I used to live in the town with the largest Indian population in North America. There were pickup cricket games all over. Always said I'd join one day, but never did. After I moved, I became friends with an Indian guy whose kids went to pre-school with my kids. He played sometimes and said he would bring me along, but that never happened either. I'm still convinced I could toss a wicked googly.

Re: Cricket
Now that is a big wicket
Re: Cricket
That's a higher total than I thought they would get at the half way stage of the innings, advantage Oz still I think.
Re: Cricket
172 for the Blackcaps. Should be an exciting run chase but I still think the Aussies get there.

For US-based venues, I know there's a purpose-built facility in Fort Lauderdale that will probably get the call. Not sure where these other venues that are being built supposedly are, but have to think something around the NYC/NJ area is likely with all of the South Asians that live there. Wouldn't surprise me to see Las Vegas get in the mix either. Would be hard to turn down as far as a destination international visitors from Australia, the UK, etc. want to visit.

Re: Cricket
DMV has a lot of fields and more being built. Always makes me smile when I happen upon one... Not sure why.

Re: Cricket
Watching West Indies/Ireland ODI on Hulu and Windies have taped over Sandals as their jersey sponsor for some reason. Wonder if it was just that they didn’t renew for 2022

Re: Cricket
Anyone who cares is probably aware of this already but the IPL is on Hulu this year. Games start at 10 am ET

Re: Cricket
I sort of got hooked while visiting India a number of years back. Forced to learn the rules and got into it.
Then I watched the special on Prime about the Aussie team that was caught up in scandal and reminded me how cool the game is. I'll definitely check it out, so... Thanks!

Royals got 222. Going to see if the Capitals can chase this down.

Re: Cricket
When I look at that, I dunno, score or whatever it’s plainly obvious this was one hell of a close match. Test. Event. Colonization. I don’t know what you call a cricket game.
