[Mike23]

[pcfan123]

Don't think anyone else from PC is going

 

[Chewie]

Wow that'll be cool

 

[Mike23]

Yea ill be taking my camera, I'll feel out the situation though, am being let into the stadium by a friend who works for USACA

Don't think anyone else from PC is going, got quite a lot of guys from the various leagues in Texas going though.

That's nice and for the record how are the publicity/hype levels about the prospect of playing an official cricket match in the US? plus are these games going to be televised?

...for the record how are the publicity/hype levels about the prospect of playing an official cricket match in the US? plus are these games going to be televised?

None. I doubte any one besides regular cricket fans know about this.

and Not in the US, no.

And I am happy Marlins are there, this will bring some attention to this.

and BOY!! Am I glad it's NZ hanging out with them not Pak-Indo teams.

Hahaha I saw that on the news 'I can't believe they don't wear gloves!'

That's the 2nd thing they learn. They already knows "there are 3 sticks and a 'flat' paddle"

and also some thinks it's a Indian sports

thats a turn off

 

[sifter132]

Haha, the Marlins players couldn't believe that cricketers catch the ball without gloves.
One of them said " They must break their fingers, maybe the fielders should were gloves in the future " :laugh, weak Americans (no offense Mark! )

Been watching a bit of baseball lately. I reckon their outfielders shouldn't be allowed gloves. Fair enough that the on base guys get them as they are rocketed balls all afternoon. But the outfielders have no skill at all. Oh fly ball, snooze...
