When I played league cricket 20-odd years ago, it was a surprise if the opposition Pakistani players hadn't at least 1 cap for Pakistan!
Not really. I thought the US were excellent and could have buckled under the pressure of the super over
i did not watch the match... just got home as USA bowled the first ball of that super over... i thought it was a Pak win when he hit a four. And then thought he was hitting a six, only to be brilliantly caught. That catch would become part of the young man's family folklore. Coming on as a sub and then writing into history books.
Apparently they are drop in pitches, from Adelaide would you believe, but due to the building of the stadium around them they have not been able to look after them as they would want. They'd have been better putting in artificial wickets, at least the bounce would be consistent. Poor for a World Cup, it makes a mockery of it.
Its only the NY pitch that is drop in I belive the Texas pitch for Pakistan-USA was a grown in place pitch.
I'm not really following it to be honest. I was in the car listening to reports on the game in NY so just assumed they were doing all of the US games there.
