Re: coke and cricket

This boils down to how much money it brings to CC's programs and for how long. But ... at least it is the long awaited corporate sponsorship and with a big name company, too. Boundaries North partnership is paying off, literally. Wonder how much they get as a finder's fee. A few more such sponsorshi...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

^ Indeed Canada do make it over the line by 4 wickets. I'm pleased to be wrong about Sana's availability, though I am still surprised they waited until their final prep match to give him his first outing of the year. Kirton surprised with an all-round performance. I expect his 10 overs will be the e...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Nepal 'A' wins the 2nd 50 over match by 2 wickets with 5 balls to spare. Some good performances by Johnson, Wiyerjarate, Dhaliwal and Movva with the bat. Nice to see Movva coming along. However, it a loss to Nepal's 2nd string. Ammar Khalid was the opening bowler for Canada. As Kaleem Sana was named...

Re: Canada @ 2024-6 CWC League 2

Canada defeat Nepal A by 4 wickets with 3 balls to spare. Lots of early wickets lost in the chase of 216. Fortunately, Dhaliwal (80), bin Zafar, Dutta (67) and Movva were the major contributors in getting Canada over the line. A win is a win but this is not the level Canada will have to play in Leag...

Re: Canadian overseas pros

I was surprised not to see Ethan Gibson's name in the release of the high performance groups. Several of his teammates from the 2022 U19 WC were on the list. It could be that he is unavailable due to involvement with St. Vincent and Grenadines. Shortly after he represented Canada at the youth world ...
