All we have to do is get them to introduce the warm beer and sandwiches. grin
I was driving down the road a couple of months ago here in Columbus and I saw a bunch of people who looked like Indian expats having a game of cricket!
Was pretty weird. However I got out of there quickly in case someone slogged a six into my windscreen.
I've stumbled upon the Indian students at the university having a game of indoor cricket at the artificial turf my footy team trains at. They are really good and totally into the sport.
I was invited to play as a couple of them knew I was Brit but didn't want to show myself up too much. Don't think they play in a league as they are probably the only ones in the state that play.
An indian restuarant in Portland called The Bombay Cricket Club plays live and taped cricket matches while you eat. Wasn't that bothered to watch Mike Gatting's England get constantly beaten but the food was very good!
Ive read that there's a cricket league in NY and in Ontario but I'm yet to see it!! neutral
There's a group of kids of Indian-ish ethnic origin who play after school in front of one of the local high schools (an unofficial thing as far as I can tell). They use a sidewalk that disects the grass as the wicket, dunno how they get the stumps to stand up.
We used to have some spring loaded stumps on a base when I was at school and you could use them on artifical turf etc.

Yeah. Wasn't quite the same satifaction of knocking a couple of stumps out and smashing the bails 10 feet when you bowled someone out.
Once when I played a pick-up game with a group of friends (we'd regularly meet up and play cricket in the morning, Chinese take-out for lunch and then footy in the afternoon - great days) and one of them was a very fast bowler.
He bowled one once and it was so hard, it split the middle stump in half as it went literally through it.
I know kids's cricket sets are probably not the best quality to begin with but I've never seen anything like that since.

At this time of year the beer would be freezing by the time they were done with the first bowl... :???:
It's supposed to reach a balmy 23 degrees celsius tomorrow! :shock: Can't wait - remind me why I moved to the wilds of New Hampsire...:D

There were some Indians playing cricket a couple of months back in a park by the lake.....with a tennis ball of course.
There's a league in Michigan, mainly based in Detroit, with a large Indian and Pakistani content. I watched a game in Kalamazoo a couple of summers ago, and took a bunch of co-workers with me. We all sat around eating a picnic watching a cricket game. Very civilised.

A lot of fours and sixes?
