Being a fan of USA cricket is heart wrenching at the worst of times. It’s a roller coaster in the best of times. Trying to write and make content about American cricket is often pure humiliation. Thanks to these men and everyone who supports them, we have unbridled joy today.

We have to be realistic, and we have to appreciate the progress that can be made: No, this huge win probably won’t move USA Cricket into the American mainstream. It’s not broadcast anywhere that new eyes can see it. But existing expat cricket fans here now should embrace USA.

Perhaps BCCI shouldn’t hog 32.5% of the revenue pie.
What a shame. West Indies fail to qualify for the World cup. Just shows talent alone isn’t enough, need focus and good man management, free from politics. The only solace is there isn’t further low to sink from here.

As a fan of cricket first, I find it very disheartening that the predominant mainstream talking point about the Qualifier has been “what a shame it is that Windies are out,” instead of celebrating the emergence of others. This has been doubled down by the

MLC’s inaugural season was appropriately celebrated as a success. But perhaps nothing has underscored the real effect of the

I’m stoked for what this World Cup could do for the prospects of MLC venues. The crowds at Grand Prairie and today and tomorrow in New York… this could really be the proof of concept MLC franchises need to seal some deals. With the promise of the ‘28 Olympics too!

Ian Chappell once again shows the world his entire massive and hideous ass. USA beat Pakistan on what's proved to be the best batting wicket in the tournament... and it's in Texas.

Difficult batting wickets give associates a chance. Not just because it nerfs FM batting, but because AMs are used to adapting to more difficult wickets in short formats and playing accordingly.

USA Cricket made no effort at all to congratulate Washington Freedom on their MLC Championship run, even though some of their biggest stars play on the team. But clearly they were paying attention, since they ripped off their uniforms.

Nepal cricket fans are vast, passionate, loyal, and loud. I’m friends with some. However, it’s an extremely bad taste that some Nepal fans who have relocated to live and work in the USA showed up in Texas to shout “refugee” at our cricketers, and that it continues on socials.

If England and Australia hadn’t undermined their own domestic product by scheduling International cricket during their T20 leagues, then we might not be in this position with the BCCI and IPL dominating every big cricket decision.

Similarly, Jasprit Bumrah is so dominant defensively that has a reasonable argument for being considered the most valuable cricketer in all of T20 cricket. Not just in this World Cup, but across the board. The more batter friendly the game is, the more valuable he becomes.

To further this point: no doubt the biggest obstacle to overcome when explaining cricket to new people is the unique language of cricket. “Wicket” means multiple things. “Over” is used as a noun, etc.
