2024 T20 Cricket World Cup

[Alan Harper's Tash]

And I remember a time (not all that long ago; a decade, maybe?) when they were a bloody good limited overs outfit.

Transformed the game in the mid 00s. Jayasuriya, da Silva etc. pinch hitting from the start.

They lost Vaas and Murali though, that’s what’s destroyed them. Hearth tried his best, but wasn’t the same class.

Struggling today; 68/7 with 5 overs left. They'll do well to get 100.

70/8. After winning the toss and choosing to bat. de Silva channeling his inner Nasser Hussain today.

77 all out in the last over. Pitiful effort from the Sri Lankans.

Might have missed them but I don't think they showed any highlights in the interval?

I amazed that New York has such an impressive looking dedicated cricket ground.

Who normally plays there and what sort of crowds do they get?

I didn't realise Phil Salt was a City fan...which is probably old news to a lot of people! Windies just about scraped through yesterday, going to be a long tournament and then you'd expect we get 7 of the 8 teams you'd expect fighting it out in the knockouts.

Cricket needs to boost its global status so can't argue with it too much.

Phil Salt grew up in Barbados where he played alongside future team-mate Jofra Archer. Now he returns a key man in England's T20 World Cup bid.

Highlights? Maybe from a Proteas perspective!

I'm in and out of the room, so I didn't see the interval

It's a fine looking stadium, considering it's catering for what must be a tiny demographic. It'd put quite a few county grounds in England to shame. That being said, the New York metropolitan area has the largest Indian population outside of Asia. Maybe they've got some form of league in place? People from different cities "back home"?
