Yeah, Canucks can at least beat the college kids!

See USACricket is hiring THREE--count 'em, THREE--full time development people!
This in addition to the CEO they just hired! CC being left further, and further, behind.

This is the problem with "Teams" USA & Canada in this tourney. They're not Windies
countries, have no nationalistic motivations. It's just a glorified training session.
Anyhow, still wanna know if they have to pay to play in this thing.

From the Cricinfo Graves interview: "Opposition can play USA in warmups..." Johnny, Jamaica played "Team USA" in a warmup at one of the Lauderhill matches some years back. It was a mismatch and the stands were empty. :( "American market is somewhere where we have to grow cricket" Sure not growing at...

Well, finally heard from this new USA CEO on their website. Has the usual bluster about being enthusiastic over the future of the game, etc., we've heard many times before. Will wait and see what they're actually planning. Relocating their offices to San Francisco, where, it's rumored, they're suppo...

timmyj, you keep saying 'live with it'. I am totally at peace living with it!

What is this? Is CC paying to play in these Windies (or other) tourneys? This is not player salaries or tr...

"to imagine all ethnicities and races to get into cricket is a [sic] living in a fantasy world."

If that's what you believe, fine...you're also living in a fantasy world if you
think Canada cricket will ever be internationally competitive as just an ethnic sport. LIVE WITH IT!

^ timmyj lurking in the weeds until Canada is safely eliminated before boldly making his statement :D Welcome back. Timmyj's been making this point F-O-R Y-E-A-R-S. Ever since "Team Canada," which had twice been to the WC, lost its ODI status, can't even qualify for qualifiers, and is now no more t...

Canada will NEVER be internationally competitive with a team of only ex-pats.

LIVE WITH IT!
