Major League Cricket 2023 July 13th-July 30th

[NYRB]

Wieses Radar a bit out of place here

 

[NYRB]

The ground in Texas is lighting quick.

 

[NYRB]

Think if you had asked pre-game if MI New York were to concede 22 runs off his 3 overs of spin( S Taylor), MI New York would have agreed on that.

 

[NYRB]

The most important thing for Seattle sporting franchises. Given they now have an MLC cricket side, should we bring back the Seattle Supersonics in the NBA?

Satya Nadella CEO of Microsoft in the house.

There are heaps of articles stating that Seattle and LV should be the next two NBA franchises.
Doubt the Supersonics will return, but there will be some other team.

I think from what Ive read is Seattle is a pretty strong case. But I can also see Las Vegas being a lucrative market , with them already having a WNBA side and an NFL side in the Raiders (relocated).

You would think if the NBA were to expand 32 teams would be be a better number than 31.

Ever since the SuprtSonics left, they have wanted a side.
And now with the Kraken there as well, there is a stadium/arena in Seattle that is ready to go.

As for LV, you've got the Raiders, Golden Knights, and A's have just bought land.

De Kock had a few lucky plays. A 6 that a fielder stepped on the boundary line and that boundary which takes him to 50 could have easily landed to a fielder.

 

[NYRB]

bit of a South African flavour right now

David Wiese v Klassen/De Kock


(yes I know David Wiese did represent Namibia but also did rep SA in his earlier days)

 

[NYRB]

Rashid Khan with his 2nd wicket and its a big one too. He just keeps on performing when it matters in the big moments.

 

[NYRB]

Agree with Graeme Smith, you probably want to give yourself a ball or two against Rashid Khan in relation to Klaasen dismissal.

 

[NYRB]

back to back 6's from de Kock

 

[NYRB]

An 85 metre

 

[NYRB]

Can you go back to Jasdeep again after this over?

 

[NYRB]

The Orcas are thinking "if we can't attack Rashid, we gotta attack someone else"

 

[NYRB]

Third six off the over from de Kock

 

[NYRB]

Right now you feel like MI New York are happy to give de Kock the single.

 

[NYRB]

You got Imad Wasim and Pretorius in the shed as well and they can bash a ball

 

[NYRB]

and it looks MI New York are going to bowl Rashid in the 16th over after that bad last over from Jasdeep.

The question is do Seattle hold out or go bang?

 

[NYRB]

Nup I was wrong its David Wiese.

 

[NYRB]

Now Ranjane is getting into the act.


He saying to De Kock 'whatever you can do , I can do better"

 

[NYRB]

19 off David Wiese 3rd over

 

[NYRB]

this time De Kock has to go. but its been a very good innings 87 off 52 balls.

 

[NYRB]

I haven't seen much of this Ranjane guy before, but he looks like a pretty good local player.
