A couple of hours after our post here questioning whether Cricket Canada’s Summer Festival was actually taking place, Cricket Canada responded by publishing a schedule on their web site<\/a>, showing there was apparently a one-day match yesterday between a Canada A team and the Toronto Bears. A little late for anyone wanting to actually go and watch, but late is better than never. The Summer Festival will apparently feature a West Indies B team, and there are further matches today, on Thursday, and T20s over the long weekend.
\nSo well done Cricket Canada on organizing the event- how about going to the next level and telling us who is playing for Canada A, Canada, and the “Toronto Bears”, and even the score of yesterday’s game? There is a match set up on CricHQ for yesterday<\/a>, which suggests live scoring may take place at some point.
\nUpdate: The Toronto Bears apparently beat the Canadian A team, based on a CricHQ scorecard<\/a>.
\nThe Bears batted first and were bowled out for a meagre 126 in 24.1 overs, with West Indian Royston Crandon top-scoring with 34. Romesh Don took 2\/6 opening the bowling, Kanwar Mann 2\/10 and Gurinder Thandi 2\/24. This proven enough for a 19 run win as the A squad mustered just 107, Harsh Thaker making 25 and Sukhdeep Brar 21. Raj Nannan and Ryan Nurse took 3 wickets each for the Bears who seem to be mostly derived from non-Canadian qualified cricketers playing semi-professionally in the Toronto leagues. The A squad contains a mix of those who took part in the national T20, and others who were picked directly. It appears that the A squad consists mostly of Toronto based players. <\/p>\n

\nAnthony Bramble (Captain)
