Cricket in America

[Cricketman]

The future looks bright for American cricket.

SL and NZ are confirmed to be playing T20s in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in May.

USA to host New Zealand v Sri Lanka internationals | USA Cricket News | Cricinfo.com

Things are getting interesting!

I am there! Who's coming down to Florida for a PC meet and greet and some International cricket in the USA!

 

[Cricketman]

Not sure if I can make it this year, unfortunately. However, I reckon i'll make it for the rumored CL stuff in September. You think you can get to New York then, Hmarka?

why sri lanka and new zealand?

New Zealand v Australia would be better. or Aus v RSA, 2 good fielding teams, 2 good fast bowling teams. 2 white teams, so it will prove that its not a tweaking Indian sports! every 1 plays it not only Indians damn it!! :

Absolutly, I'll never turn down an oppertunity to go to NYC.

Because Cricket New Zealand has been a saving grace for the USA. They have sent over many coaches before, let our u19 guys use their National Academy and they have set this event up (as much as some will try to convince you it was Lalit Modi)

God Bless the Kiwis! I finally get to see International Cricket!

Florida is too far for me.

Poor bugger :rtfl

I have seen it once, 1996 Quarter Final of the World Cup. RSA vs WI (lara century)

So the only cricket I have ever had the pleasure of seeing included Brian Lara, Curtly Ambrose and Jonty Rhodes. Not bad eh

Florida is too far for me.

Are you in the US? I thought you were in Serbia

Are you in the US? I thought you were in Serbia

London, Canada. Just south of Toronto.

 

[pcfan123]

WTF! No wonder our timings are similar. Well I hope to see you at the NYC CL event if it happens.

Florida is pretty far from me too, since FT Lauderdale is in the southern tip its almost a 14 hour drive. Only a $200 flight though

i was question Sri Lanka being there..

 

[pcfan123]

Yea its a bit lame having Sri Lanka but Im not complaining. Personally would have loved to see England or Australia but I'll take the Kiwis.

BTW our national Team will be playing both Sri Lanka and NZ in warm up matches so I hope to get there a day or two early to see those.

 

[Dare]

Should have had the West Indies. Florida is close to the Caribbean and some WI cricketers live in Florida.

 

[pcfan123]

Lol and the town Ft Lauderdale has 80,000 Americans of West Indian origin/immigrants in it.

See it would only make sense if the people organizing this thing could think.
