Re: Cricket in the 2028 Olympics (Los Angeles)?

The host country team AUTOMATICALLY gets in. Before anything, gotta persuade organizers to even let cricket into their games (host organizers have a lot of discretion here). If they don't want it, NO cricket for anyone! :oops: Wont we surprised if they say no...that has always been my point, no poi...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

Right now, at least, CC has the T20 WC Americas and then, presumably, the global qualifier. Also, the Challenge League. After this fall, though, perhaps not much. I wonder if there are unpaid bills yet from the GT20. Probably. We can just hope that things will be sorted out, somehow and if not Euro...

Re: Euro T20 Slam

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27387389/inaugural-euro-t20-slam-cancelled-two-weeks-notice Euro T20 Slam is dead. It leaves in its wake unpaid/unhappy players, boards, contractors, patrons. Bombay Sports Limited's reputation could be gravely damaged as well leaving GT20 in serious jeopardy...

Re: The numbers

The 2019 edition of GT20 featured 24 Canadians making a total of 117 appearances (not counting the 3 matches that were not completed). This compares to 14 making 37 appearances in the inaugural event. Of course, there was an extra local team this year with Brampton Wolves replacing West Indies B. N...

Re: Cricket in the 2028 Olympics (Los Angeles)?

We'll see. Rugby just finished its first Olympic games and I don't think it got much of a bounce, at least not here in the states. Long, challenging, road to get a game into the Olympics. Above all, ICC going to have to sell it to the LA organizers and they've shown no ability whatsoever to sell th...

Re: Cricket in the 2028 Olympics (Los Angeles)?

With BCCI finally dropping its opposition to India's anti-doping regulator, the ICC can see a clear path to getting cricket into the Olympics for 2028. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27373220/icc-working-towards-cricket-2028-la-olympics-says-mcc-gatting A few thoughts on the possibility of...

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

So was that final the best advertisement for the sport in Canada ever? In terms of excitement, availability on a major network and crowd size it might be unparalleled. I hope TSN got the broadcast audience and online viewership they expected and will want to keep GT20 Canada for next year. Yes Maut...

Re: WT20 Qualifier

Kaleem Sana cannot make it? Is he qualified? If he can bowl at Dre and company, he should be good enough for associates. Although, cricket has now become very competitive in the top 20 or so countries...very little to choose from between numbers 10 and 20 ranked countries.

Re: Global T20 Canada 2019

What a final and what a great show by local boys! Kaleem Sana stopped Andre Russell! How many bowlers can do that? Like what Winnipeg coach Lalchand Rajput said, the IPL took Indian players to another level and this tournament with 4-5 locals boys in each team, will do the same for Canadian team in ...
