I wasn't expecting that! I was expecting us to struggle chasing a total against the Indian spinners on a used wicket. Fair play to them, that was comprehensive.Low Down Low wrote: ↑10 Nov 2022, 7:44amNow that's what you call a chase!

Looks like I might be joining a local cricket league up here, I'm looking forward to learning more about it and becoming a superstar.

My wife is Irish so I have been getting ribbed about that. The rugby union results last weekend didn't help either :)oliver wrote: ↑10 Nov 2022, 11:30amKind of funny that the two finalists lost to Ireland and ZimbabweLow Down Low wrote: ↑10 Nov 2022, 7:44amNow that's what you call a chase!

Me too, me too. I gotta figure out where I can buy a bat and other gear here in Seattle.

This “league” is a loose confederation of south asian starbucks employees. I understand it’s fairly casual unless my friend is underselling it.Low Down Low wrote: ↑10 Nov 2022, 6:47pmI thought cricket in America died with Chuck Ramkissoon.

Ah, never mind me, was just being daft. I played a bit of social cricket through work some years back and it was a real fun game to play with plenty of extras in the post match "pavilion".Kory wrote: ↑12 Nov 2022, 3:19pmThis “league” is a loose confederation of south asian starbucks employees.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yeah I'm looking for it if it does actually come together. I've been interested since the first time I visited the UK and we stumbled across a game, so this would be the culmination of all that.Low Down Low wrote: ↑12 Nov 2022, 4:59pmAh, never mind me, was just being daft.
