Montreal Tigers v Brampton Wolves. T20

[FatDrummer]

Live on Freesports at the moment.....
Knew nothing about this at all, but among the players are Wahab Riaz, Colin Munro, Ish Sodhi and Shahid Afridi....
It’s a six team round robin tournament called the Global T20 Canada and is over the next week all at Brampton.
Not what I expected to see.

Got to question the longevity of something like this judging by the number of fans watching.

Always see Canada as the one that got away in terms of cricket's popularity. Massive commonwealth nation with strong links to the UK but cricket never took off there. Wonder why

Callum McLeoud (?) playjng for Toronto nationals too.

American culture to a degree
Canadian rules football instead of rugby
Baseball instead of cricket

I know what you mean...it would be a shame because everyone seemed to be having fun.

Looking forward to seeing Gayle vs what looks like a very weak bowling attack in the game at 5.30.

There does seem to be a lot of hospitality boxes which I'm sure I read are generally sold out which is where they make their money. I've quite enjoyed watching it but the standard of umpiring is pretty poor

The ground is pretty small which doesn't help them but there's been some shocking bowling.
Enjoyed the Plusnet advert for the twentieth time mind.

I've given this just about an innings, it's absolutely shite.

Afridi just hit one off the back of the bat for 6.

Watched three overs here and there's been about 50 runs. The bowling is absolutely shocking.
