Re: Whats wrong with Canada cricket?

Emerging cricket article on recent rise of Singapore: https://www.emergingcricket.com/featured/singapore-beating-zimbabwe-big-deal-yes-surprising-not-at-all/ Their recent successes are no accident but rather the result of hard work and lots of matches. The implication is that the board are well-supp...

Re: Whats wrong with Canada cricket?

Lately Singapore, Malaysia have hosted some T20 tournaments or tours. Nepal have been down to that region a few times (not even counting ICC Asian T20 qualifiers). How are these boards able to afford the cost of hosting? Malaysia manages to hold T20Is even though there were no fans watching in the s...

Re: ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League

Yes, I'm sure the points will be carried over to the next "round". Canada and Singapore tied on 8 points with Canada ahead on NRR. Qatar and Denmark not far behind with Canada's loss. Still 2 rounds and 10 matches to be played. Hope that Canada will host a round. Canada must beat Singapore next time...

Re: Whats wrong with Canada cricket?

Bertus de Jong names and shames CC website (and most other Associates). https://twitter.com/BdJcricket/status/1177048748121296896 If Cricket Canada doesn't care, no one else will. If they can't make use of Global T20 Canada to promote their sport, is it a surprise when there are so few fans paying a...

Re: ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League

Well, Canada were pushed ... and did not cope with the pressure. Singapore showing that beating Nepal in Asian T20 regional qualifiers was no accident. If memory serves, Canada lost to Singapore at WCL3 in 2017 as well. Now, they will have a tougher fight to finish 1st in Challenge League 'A'. Perha...

Re: ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League

Solid (overall) win against Denmark (who we must thank for knocking back Qatar). It leaves Canada one win away from a 5-0 start and a comfortable 4 point lead in the Challenge League 'A' table. I expect they will complete the job against Singapore tomorrow but hope Canada are pushed a little. The te...

Re: ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League

Canada doing what they have to do. No real challenges to them so far. Congrats to Kumar for his century and 5-for and Wijeyeratne for his 112. The Persian Gulf region appears to be making the most progress on the Associate ladder. UAE have established themselves in the upper echelon and Oman have re...

Re: Canadian Women's cricket

What About The Women? : http://www.canadacricket.com/?p=12998 Not surprised by this sentiment among women cricketers. Only surprised that it took this long for the concerns to be voiced by someone. The ladies need to organize and demand more of CC. It would help advance the entire sport in Canada, n...

Re: ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League

^ 250? I think we all got a pleasant surprise this morning, Victorian. It's great to see Canada breakout and dominate a team at this level. Thomas was overdue and finally showed his ability. Nitish had a good all-round game. If he could only show that more often he would be help lift the team to the...
