Re: Canadian Women's cricket

Canadian Womens Premier League being explored : https://cricketcanada.org/news-single?nid=203 Sounds like a 3rd party would be funding the venture if it goes forward. There is no money in Canadian cricket for the foreseeable future. Can the fact CC has mentioned this be taken as a good chance it wil...

Re: strategic plan progress

^ Yes. Almost two years into the board's mandate and the discussions are still ongoing 😥. Every new administration consults on a new plan then fails to deliver anything concrete - certainly nothing that can be measured or on which the leadership can be graded. This is just the latest disappointment ...

The March 14th edition of "Dropped Again" podcast (final 15 minutes) featured some good ideas for an U25 development program: https://anchor.fm/droppedagain/episodes/Live-Stream-was-Pretty-Dodgy-Ft--Matthew-Spoors-e1fm2ni Many of the points have been previously mentioned on this forum and probably e...

Re: Cricket Canada Stadium

Brampton mayor, Patrick Brown, will apparently soon announce his candidacy for the leadership of the federal Conservative party. I see him as a longshot to become leader but win or lose, it might indicate he is done with municipal politics. This is bad news for Cricket Canada and their cricket stadi...

Re: Canada @ 2022 ICC T20 WC Global Qualifier

Super interesting that Tariq played but Shreyas Movva was the keeper. He got a stumping and run out as well. Where’s he from? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-cricket-player-shreyas-vasudevareddy-movva-makes-national-team-1.6230325 Movva from India, now of Montreal. He is in Canada fo...

Re: Canada @ 2022 ICC T20 WC Global Qualifier

Canada still has two more games! Tonight against Germany. No surprise that Canada successfully see off Germany. Former under-19 Rishiv Joshi given a bowl as well as Matthew Spoors. Canada play the 5th place final against Bahrain who managed quite an upset over UAE. This team hasn't looked capable o...

Re: Canada @ 2022 ICC T20 WC Global Qualifier

A dismal innings for Canada as they fall for 80 to Nepal. The newcomer, Spoors has not adjusted well to the top level of Associate cricket but then the whole team failed today. This is the second match in succession that opener Pathan has been run out when he has started well. It is clearly tough on...

Re: Canada @ 2022 ICC T20 WC Global Qualifier

2nd match versus Oman was not even close. Oman win by 9 wickets.
Not enough runs to defend and ineffective bowling. Cricket Canada should be worried not only for T20 qualifying but for the 50 over WC qualifier should we win our Challenge League A.
