Criticism is mounting of City Hall’s ambition to erect a 34,000-seat stadium in Van Cortlandt Park to host four matches in about as many days as part of the International Cricket Council T-20 World Cup next June.
My forebears didn’t play #cricket, so the game is a mystery to me.
But this city is home to great populations whose families came from India, from Pakistan, from Jamaica—and you see kids in those neighborhoods carrying cricket bats all the time.
I genuinely love when there's a sports match on that I have zero awareness of, because none of your tweets make any sense but you're all clearly having a good time
Missed most of tonight's #cricket match because I'm not used to it being aired on a major sports network, instead of a more niche outlet! What a fascinating adjustment to make.
This TV video of Pat Cummings bowling Harry Brook at Lords has passed 250,000 views. Not as many as the Starc one, but still about 500x more than my normal Instagram post interactions. The Starc one is heading towards 2.2 million views.
I was given out caught behind playing at Stormont in Belfast once as an ambulance with its sirens blasting passed on the road about 20 metres beyond the boundary. Bloody umpire gave me out for a thin nick to the keeper. I didn’t hit it and there was no way he heard anything with the noise of the ambulance. That still annoys me about 30 years later 😂
Watching the #MensAshes and also have half an eye on the #WIvInd ODI... it's amazing how much more attaching England's batsmen are compared to the West Indies. And they are playing a Test! #cricket
