Re: Big news for Canadian cricketers..

Very interesting to read about Gurmeet Singh and some details of GT20. This news certainly could be a big boost for the future of Canadian cricket. It would have the greatest benefit for younger players. Not sure how many older players will be able to participate. There have been some mixed signals...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

THE catch made the TSN highlight package this morning. Nice. There is some quality in this tournament. Too bad more people aren't aware or aren't being made aware of what is happening in Brampton. https://twitter.com/GT20Canada/status/1160521246444064768 The young man's reaction makes the play that...

Re: Big news for Canadian cricketers..

Great news.. the Canadian cricketers will be so grateful to this guy for all these opportunities! First they got a chance to play with the best players in the world, be on live telecast in 170 odd countries, be on Canadian tv channels for the first time, learn and test themselves with the best etc e...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

Just bring two mainstream (non cricket) Canadians with you to the next match, mautan...if you have two mainstream Canadian friends. Hey timmyj51.. still waiting for you to define 'mainstream Canadian'. :roll: Only then can I tell you if I have two friends. You have started to smell racist now... qu...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

Reports that players refusing to get on the bus this morning until the get paid. Match in 20 mins. Oh, gawd. If this falls apart, the fallout will be huge. Any word? Update...at 12.35pm... toss delayed... oh, god. Anything happening on TSN? I was there, unfortunately. Had to wait 2 hours for the ma...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

"50 mainstream Canucks in 50 years"? Maybe with Saini and his gang. Timmyj wouldn't allow any ex-pat to attend any match unless they bring two mainstream Canucks with them...you DO have two mainstream Canuck friends, don't you, mautan. :? :? timmyj51 - slowly but surely I have managed to expose you...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

That's the spirit! Maybe CC should adopt as its motto one of these: Talk tall; think small. Think small! Let me show you how! Don't blame me! I only think small! Or maybe 'Bringing cricket lovers and cricketing communities closer'. :D :D All the best timmyj51 for getting 50 'mainstream' Canadians p...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

By all means "enjoy" your time at Brampton...with the other 2000. Keep thinking small...just what the game needs. Absolutely enjoyed the game today at the ground! What a nice atmosphere with some political leaders in attendance and a full house. So nice to see things getter better for the game here...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

Your attendance estimates, Scotty, don't seem to jive with organizer braggadocio, who claim they'll get 100K in attendance this year. Not unless they count the flies and birds on the ground. Already lost one day to weather and all the desies will probably be at Lauderhill this weekend for India mat...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

Agree with all the above points in the last two points. Maybe CC can push the organizers a bit more to do for the local market. Secondly, if they can have lights and games at 7pm from next year, I am sure there will be further improvement in attendance. Evening games will be nice and relaxing.. All ...
