Major League Cricket 2023 July 13th-July 30th

[STFU Donnie]

I'll be looking forward to Jomboy's breakdowns.

 

[akkaps]

I suspect the Indian diaspora has made cricket in the US viable as opposed to ten or fifteen years ago.

100%, plus this is almost fully backed by Indian Americans or the IPL

Quality 6 by Santner

Anyone know the dimensions of the ground?

First impression is one of the square boundaries looks quite big.

 

[NYRB]

Marty Guptill continuing on his decline as a batter with a duck off 3 balls. He is virtually a walking wicket.

 

[akkaps]

Roussow keeping to his <10 or 100< consistency

 

[NYRB]

Not surprising to see Texas have about 90% of the home crowd support tonight.

 

[akkaps]

Just realized Gajanand Singh is being rested for LAKR, he was in red hot form in the WCQ

 

[akkaps]

CSK go on to win the first game

 

[akkaps]

kwality start from the Aussies here

 

[NYRB]

Seems like a game on a working day , during the day has the crowds staying away.

Hopefully people roll in for the second game, seeing it's a Friday night

 

[akkaps]

Waiting for Tim David to anchor this innings

 

[NYRB]

With Tim David and Pollard there, and a required run rate approaching 15 an over , you never say never.

 

[NYRB]

Kieron Pollard been on a few pies and pasties I can see

 

[NYRB]

WA v WA in America


Stoinis v Tim David

 

[akkaps]

Having those two out there, was the only chance, now that Pollard is gone.
It's also the risk of having unknown American bats, the pressure was definitely on those two do to the heavy lifting

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Also smart timing in that it is during the quiet period for American sport. Apart from Baseball and women's basketball the calendar is pretty sparce for sporting entertainment.

 

[Teagueeee15]

That runout of Finn Allen was one of the more comical ones I’ve ever seen.

That runout of Finn Allen was one of the more comical ones I’ve ever seen.

Worse and lazier than Jonny Bairstows in the test match.


Just saw it for the first time, I’ll leave Bigfooty to think for themselves:

 

[akkaps]

Matt Short smashes 80 off 50 this morning

 

[NYRB]

Knight Riders look terrible with the bat against MI New York 50/9

 

[NYRB]

New York defeat LA by 105 runs

 

[akkaps]

And to think MINY were 97/7 after 16 overs, come around and win by 100+

 

[akkaps]

Today's game to air on CBS, massive for cricket in the USA
