Someone needs to get the scoreboard moving.

 

[peternorth]

Seattle are different with the Orca. Not a bad logo.

Sharp this one is. Unicorns doesnt roll off the tongue though

It's a midweek game.

Stadiums are currently being built across the US. This season, only two venues are hosting matches Grand Prarie and Morrisville

I'm not saying there should be a big crowd - a BBL game on Tuesday night anywhere in Australia involving 2 non local teams would get a similar turnout.

Just it's a terrible look - they would have been better off to wait until all the grounds were finished so they could run a full home and away season first.

Saurabh Netravalkar takes 6/9 this morning off 3.5 overs. Was not expecting this from a US national player.
Wickets include Wade, Stoinis, Shadab, Chatianya, Plunkett, and Haris Rauf

LA Knight Riders are generally awful and may end up winless in this tournament

Rossouw slogged them over the line

Too much reliance on Dre Russ and Sunil Narine to be the stars of the team.
Probably why no one picked Dre on the BBL Int Draft

They finished 7th out of 10 in the IPL
And last out of 6 in the ILT20
CPL is about to start

[Tandy]

Was looking at TVs in Harvey Norman and noticed T20 on. Stopped and had a look trying to figure out where it was. The crowd was going off and the ground was packed! Sure enough it was NY vs Seattle. Was very surprised but I guess there alot of expat cricket fans in America. It'll only grow.

 

[peternorth]

Is there a thread on the Global T20 Canada tournament?

Savage of the home town Texas super kings is run out. Andrew Tye with the brilliant throw to the keepers end (De Kock)

7/113. 7 balls left

 

[peternorth]

Andrew Tye to bowl the last over to Daniel Sams

SIX!!!!

 

[peternorth]

The Super Kings of Texas lodge 126. A poor score and they'd be disappointed with that.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Quality review that from Super Kings. Preety sure that would have had three green lights.

 

[Cleavy]

it's Seattle Orcas vs MI New York in the final 10:30am AEST Monday

 

[NYRB]

Generally excited by this Final. Will tune in early Monday morning.

Major League Cricket's conundrum: who exactly is an American player?

MI New York showed it's possible to be successful while using USA players, but will MLC mandate their inclusion in future?

that was plum from Rashid. Batter asked for review.

 

[NYRB]

I don't know why you would bother reviewing that. It looked plum

Ill eat my words , that's why I could never be a cricket umpire. I was wrong.
