If you're wondering why few if any players within the American cricket ecosystem speak out with their names attached to criticize the state of affairs, whether currently or in the USACA era, retribution from the board like that experienced by these French women's players is why.

101 at Cinco Ranch Golf Course today near Katy. After some solid saves and four pars on the front 9, putter let me down very very badly on the back 9.

Prairie View Cricket Complex had 8+ hours to dry out following overnight/early morning rain, but the 3rd T20I scheduled for Wednesday between USA & Canada was abandoned without a ball bowled due to insufficient drainage at the facility. Full report here. dreamcricket.com/articles/usa-c…

Perhaps one of the most American cricket things to ever happen... the US Youth Cricket Association Facebook page appears to have been hacked and turned into an OnlyFans knockoff page. Here's the before and after (PG version). The rest of the USYCA Facebook page is now NSFW....

USA Women lose their 1st ever ODI to PNG by 6 wickets, who chase a target of 161 with 13.4 overs to spare. Disha Dhingra top-scored for USA with 58 off 77 balls (six fours) opening the batting before being run out. USA went from 95 for 1 in the 25th to 160 all out in 44.2 overs.

The fans care more about the game than the association.

Despite the USA v Canada abandonment, the day wasn't a total waste. Played 18 in 3 hours at Houston National. Links style course, wind was howling for first 9 holes but calmed down on the back 9, made 5 pars including 3 in a row. Unlike PVCC, Houston National has good drainage.

My 8 year old and I were so looking forward to coming today. Friday’s match is at 10 am ( school day) and he plays in USTA L6 tennis 🎾 on Saturday. What a bummer. Next time!!

USA v Canada 3rd T20I officially abandoned without a ball bowled due to a wet outfield. Hasn't rained since 7 am. Awful/non existent drainage at Prairie View Cricket Complex strikes again.

Corey Anderson has nothing to prove, healthy or not. Not the worst idea to give others a chance to be evaluated.

Brian Walters made the 2 hour drive from Austin (west of Prairie View), Justin Briggle made the 90 minute drive from League City (southeast Houston), PJ Goedhals (🇺🇲 via 🇿🇦) Ⓥ made the hour drive from The Woodlands... To watch 22 USA/Canada players stand around thanks to a wet outfield.

USA v Canada 3rd T20I delayed due to wet outfield in Prairie View. It rained a lot overnight but has been dry since 7 am. Here's PJ Goedhals (🇺🇲 via 🇿🇦) Ⓥ with a parking lot pitch report.

Expect at least one change today for USA in the third T20I vs Canada. Andries Gous picked up a right hamstring strain during his innings yesterday and never took the field during the Canada chase. More than likely Corey Anderson will make his debut today in place of Gous.

ICYMI: USA posted their highest ever total in T20I cricket, ending on 230 for 3 thanks to a trio of 50s from Monank Patel, Steven Taylor and Andries Gous in a commanding 31-run win over Canada to take a 2-0 lead in the 5-match T20I series. Full story here. dreamcricket.com/articles/usa-c…

USA beats Canada by 31 runs as *cough cough* Nepal could only muster 199 in reply to USA's 230. On a separate note, I'm very proud of that file photo, taken in Uganda in 2017 when Steven Taylor brought up his 1000th run for USA in 50-over cricket in a no result vs Singapore.

Today's post-match video interview is with USA captain Monank Patel, who was named Player of the Match after top-scoring with 68 in USA's record-setting T20I total of 230 for 3 in a 31-run win over Canada in the 2nd T20I at Prairie View Cricket Complex. youtube.com/watch?v=NeFJgR…

Monank Patel named Player of the Match for USA in the win over Canada after top-scoring with 68 in their USA T20I record total of 230 for 3. More to come later.

One ball after spilling a return chance that had enough steam on it to go for 4, Harmeet gets Bhagwan to drive to Jessy Singh at long off for the final wicket. Canada all out for 199. USA wins by 31 runs.

With Canada needing 6 Sixes off the final over to beat USA, Joshi goes to heave first ball and edges behind for Harmeet Singh's maiden wicket for USA. 195 for 9 with 5 balls left.

Heyliger goes for 11, tries to slog Kenjige over midwicket but skies it to short third for easy catch on the run by Netravalkar moving to his left. Canada 178 for 8 with 15 balls left.
