Topley bounced back well from last game to put us on top .

Yeah Nas said after Cardiff the tone was set by Topley and that was a bad tone, unusually harsh criticism which reflects just how poor he was.  He's bowled well today.  

 

Our tail is a lot longer as well (famous last words).  Curran has become a genuine all-rounder and Willey is a decent finisher as well.

England trying to smash 400 but still only probably the third or fourth most interesting game of pro cricket that's been going on this afternoon.

 

Switched straight from Leicestershire to see Warwickshire eight down chasing 176 after a daring declaration by Northants. God bless the streaming of Championship matches.

If Roy was left out because he played and scored low totals, he might have some justfied complaint that he was only playing in the team's style.

 

As it is, having been out injured. He can't really complain and hopefully Brook can now take his chance.

The yanks are coming for the cricket too.

 

Dallas, Florida and New York confirmed as hosts of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 (icc-cricket.com)

 

A modular stadia fact sheet on the venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2023 is available in the Resources section of our Online Media Zone

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed Dallas, Florida and New York as the three USA venues identified to host the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Grand Prairie in Dallas, Broward County in Florida and Nassau County in New York will be part of history as the event is staged in the USA for the first time.

The ICC Board awarded the hosting of the event to the West Indies and the USA in November 2021. The venues were selected following extensive evaluation of several options.

An agreement has been reached for the construction of a 34,000-seat modular stadium in Eisenhower Park, a purpose-built sports and events park in Nassau County, New York, on awarding of the required permit next month. The existing venues in Grand Prairie and Broward County will be increased in size by modular stadium solutions to expand seating, media and premium hospitality areas subject to final agreement.

ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said: “We’re delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy. The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sport market.

“We explored a number of potential venue options in the country, and we were hugely encouraged by the enthusiasm the event generated amongst prospective hosts, reinforcing the growing awareness around cricket’s massive fanbase and its power to unite diverse communities.

”We are very excited about the opportunity to use modular stadium technology to present world class cricket in a location that has not previously hosted an ICC global event giving USA cricket fans the chance to watch the world’s best on their doorstep. This technology has been used at previous ICC events to increase venue capacity and it’s routinely used in other major sports around the world. In the USA, it will give us the opportunity to increase the size of the venues in both Dallas and Florida and create what is going to be a stunning venue in New York.”

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said: “Nassau County is excited to partner with the ICC to host the Men’s T20 World Cup, one of the most popular sporting events in the world. With more than one billion fans worldwide, this event will attract fans from all around the world to Eisenhower Park.

“Whether it be PGA events, record breaking concerts in our parks, or the annual Belmont Stakes, we are no stranger to hosting large scale events on the world stage. I look forward to bringing our many diverse communities together to watch some of the best cricket in the world, right here in Nassau County.”

A number of other venues around the USA, including George Mason University in Washington, the new home of MLC team Washington Freedom, have also been identified as potential venues for pre-event matches and training
