    Makes sense, cricket and baseball obviously aren't identical but do have some transferable skills, and it's not like USA is short of immigration from cricketing nations.

    When I was working at an American university 20 years ago there were always Indian students playing cricket on the campus footpaths. I'm sure many stayed in the US.

    Aaron Jones was born in NYC but played mostly in Barbados.

    @Bovidae Yeah, there was a cricket league in the Bay Area then, due to the south asian students and employees in the area.

    It might be his name.

    Zampa is a stupid name.

    This is also why I hate Travis Head doing well

    With Zampa I think it is the long hair and the headband for me

    Then again, there’s always Michael Clarke, Shane Watson and Brad Haddin to help even up the ledger

    So England pretty much going home because of the rain out with Scotland, unless Oman or Namibia can keep them in it.

    The embarrassing whinging from us far outweighed the incident in my view.

    Chappell was a class batsman, one of the best.

    The umpires were every bit as crooked back then. Everyone remembers the underarm, fewer remember Snedden's dead cert catch of Chappell in the deep earlier in that game that was given not out

    At least when the Black Craps are back to their historic norm, there's always Pakistan to steal defeat from the jaws of victory...

    Had a look at the schedule, and Australia play their last game after England's last. So assuming no more upsets in that pool, Australia and Scotland will both know exactly what the NRR permutations are. Do the Aussies go for a deliberate go slow to try to eliminate the English?

    It's the only outcome that justice demands.
