2024 T20 Cricket World Cup

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"?

Thanks. Yeah it seems like it’s a brand new ground, built specifically for this tournament. With the stands all being removed after it’s over.

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?

The pitch was especially imported from Adelaide, Australia for this event. I think all they've used it for so far is a warm-up match.

Yeah that seem to be the plan.

A refreshing change after the shite pitches in the IPL.

He really needed to take that catch. It wasn't that difficult for a keeper playing at that level.

Thered have been an earthquake had it been the Pakistani keeper going for that. He’d still be trying to get up too.

Quite a few keeping low. Aim for the stumps.

Malinga would be bowling pea rollers on that wicket.

I hope he stayed away from social media the next day. It was vicious on there, nearly all from Pakistanis. Accusations of nepotism, that he's only in the side because of who his father is (Moin Khan).
