Finals were certainly the best attended in the tourney but hardly a sell out. Looked at the highlight video and still saw fair amount of empty seats, at least in the bleachers. More importantly WHO were in the stands? Just expats or mainstream Canucks? As I posted earlier, will Meruri release offic...

Yes a good conclusion and a perfect example of what good can come through this. Amazingly a Canadian player was man of the match, with others like Nitest and Nikhil dhowing that they are up there in talent terms. Congratulations and well done to Ashit Patel and his team..it was unbeliveable to pull ...

Has (or will) Mercuri release official attendance figures? Would not be interested in any negative things timmyj..me personally would not be interested because I have aeen the attendance on tv and it must be very low. Did you not see the telecast? If yes..what do you gain from 'official numbers'. K...

The world has moved on lightyears in 10 years. Ten years ago, televised cricket was much harder to find in North America, or even on the internet. The IPL was a baby. The whole world wasn't glued to screens in the palms of their hands every minute. To understand what's going on, it's important to u...

And the sad thing is there's been fairly entertaining cricket from the highlights I've seen (such a small ground helps with that). So sad, depressing and embarrassing that the so-called "development" of this great game in North America has always been in the hands of deplorable amateurs who don't r...

So agree with JSMunn.. It is good to be able to convey the comments to someone who may have a voice in organizing. I too feel it will be hard to relate to any one team. So next year have a team from Ottawa or New York and promote the team in their cities. These cities are closer and some people may ...

A venue as central as TCSCC in North York will see a substantial increase in attendence..I have no doubt about that. To timmyjs point that they were test teams in 2008, I dont believe people do not want to watch all the biggest of IPL and test stars..Gayle, Bravo, Smith, Warner Southee, Miller etc. ...

Agree on most of the problems..the only silver lining is that the next edition will be a much better planned one, with lessons learned and applied with more time on hand. One major problem will always be..the venue. Is it impossible to convince TCSCC? That is truely beautiful ground and pavilion. If...

Hmm..first match done. Not too bad. Few observations The ground could be better, should be no excuses for that in Canada. Matches can start at 5, instead of 4pm. Wish they had somehow managed to convince Toronto cricket and skating club to host. Would have looked a better spectacle...would get a lot...

What is your point timmyj? You say give me a million and I can do that? Why will anyone give that money. It is their earned money and their efforts, with their risk that they are trying to make this happen. We can sit on our bums the whole life commenting here negativlely..how will that help Canadia...
