Although most of the people there appeared to be from the Subcontinent.
I’m pretty sure 99% were from the USA. Who on Earth is travelling from the subcontinent to Dallas just to watch USA and Canada? :lol:

Anyway it was a pretty good game! Commentary is always terrible at ICC events.

It is depressing. I’m rooting for Taibu and Rusere - at least there’s some Zimbabweans involved :lol:
Lol, yeah, what I meant was mostly people from the subcontinent who have settled in the US. My ex- GF is settled in US and that's one reason I hate the place 😂 Majority of my friends and relatives are there, I somehow always felt comfortable to be in India and work here!

The tournament I can tell you will be a bit of a flop in India because not many people are going to watch those early morning games, and hence, not many would know what is actually going on, like who is winning and who is not... I'm talking about casual fans not the ones like us who pretty much keep track of everything!

They had the A list commentators for USA vs Canada (Ian Bishop and Nasser Hussain among others), so I imagine the quality had to be decent.

Game was pretty good. High scores. Pitches may be flat, but batters also need to have positive intent and not just try to bat the full 20 overs.

What a costly error not reviewing that. Defending 130 and they'd have had WI 8-2. Stupid stupid stupid.

He's their best bowler and the captain ends up giving him 2 overs :lol: The guy is an idiot. They could easily have won that.

Oman 0-2, 2 balls into their innings. Trumpelmann on fire!

Quick search of the forum finds my post from three years ago, before this guy had played for Namibia, with me saying he is a world class talent!

What a match!!!

Despite the win, I think Namibia will lose rating points here as the official result is a tie?

What a game!!!
Namibia really bottled that run chase.
Trumpleman is a top quality bowler, we never got to even have to deal with him.
Brilliant spell from Khan.

Why would Wiese have not come in earlier in their run chase?
Some schoolboy errors in the last two games from captains and coaches.
