T20I T20 World Cup Game 1 USA v Canada, June 2 1000hrs @ Grand Prairie Stadium Texas

[Sammo360]

Crowd is pretty bad - context matters but there's maybe 30% of the seats filled in what is a tiny stadium

Looks decent enough to me. Think ICC would be very happy with this turnout imo

The built up part of the stadium actually looks really good - it's just the other half that looked super bad.

 

[NYRB]

Dhaliwal is continue to go for his shots here for Canada.

 

[NYRB]

Corey Anderson has been in a good paddock since his stint with the Hobart Hurricanes last summer in the BBL

 

[NYRB]

van Schalkwyk is repping USA but born in South Africa.

 

[NYRB]

Canada were asking for a run out , the way they were running between wickets.

 

[icyflakes]

Canada's running has been pretty bloody bad all game

 

[NYRB]

Nicholas Kirton in the strike for Canada at number 4

 

[NYRB]

Must admit I havent seen too much of Kirton bat before.

 

[NYRB]

50 From Dhaliwal off 36 balls. Well played

How's Canada's bowling? Looks like they should be able to go ham soon and post 200 comfortably.

If it wasn't so build up that could be Lords

 

[icyflakes]

Credit to USA's bowling but Canada have really screwed the pooch here. Gone from an easy 200 to maybe 180 at best

 

[icyflakes]

Movva clearly saw my comment and proved me wrong, a nice 194 to finish the innings

 

[NYRB]

Its a good surface.

Canada finished well there.

 

[NYRB]

This Jones lad from the US can whack the ball. Has West Indian heritage.

 

[NYRB]

Back to back 6s from A Jones off Zafar.

 

[NYRB]

A Jones tried to hit that from Dallas, Texas to New York.

 

[NYRB]

A Jones 50 runs up in 22 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Aaron Jones is making the world notice .

 

[NYRB]

And this performance might seen a shudder to their group rivals: India, Pakistan and Ireland.
