33/1 after the 1st powerplay is a bit slow.

The Big Innings guys saying tickets for the Canada v USA opening game of the WC are $80 for the cheapest seats and $40 for the cheapest standing. Will there be anyone there? I think ‘yes’ because they’ll paper it.

Is Johnson really the only guy we have to open? Out for 4 in the 3rd over
Wijeyeratne in at 3. Movva is keeping.

I’m really heartened by Canada getting some good scores. 285/9. Now go and defend it!

Definitely some good hard running between the wickets.

Then on comes Saad bin Zafar, one of Canada’s best players and a good captain, but he’s 37. Good for this cycle for the next couple of years but then who will captain?

List A/ODI debut for Dilpreet Bajwa who just smashed a six as I’m typing. Commentator’s curse! (or blessing?) then bowled for a cameo!

A pretty good innings from Canada. A bit of a batting collapse but a couple of dodgy decisions but there’s no TV umpire. Kirton was hard done by in a stumping and Thaker was pissed to be given out for a nick to the keeper so he probably knows he didn’t edge it.

Netherlands and Namibia are set to play Nepal in the coming weeks. That will tell us something about where Canada is.

I looked for ODI rankings and don’t see Canada on the list. That doesn’t make any sense. How can an ODI team not be in the rankings even if their numbers are zero and they’re ranked last? The rankings calculations are very complex of course so we need to see an official list.
