Re: Cricket All-Stars Series, 2nd Match: at Houston - Calypso - 11-12-2015
Warne's Warriors won ... so 2 out of 3 matches and title. Sachin's team to play for pride on Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Not sure if this will be broadcast as AUS vs NZ at Perth will be on at the same time.
Anyway it was good Exhibition Match viewing !! Treat to see the 'All Stars' !!

According to newspaper reports, almost 28,000 were in attendance. That's a far better number than I had imagined, especially given the high ticket prices. Between this match and the first in New York, approximately 64,000 fans have come out and shown their support. I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that this has been anything but a success.

Yup, 36K in NY, 28K in Houston. Probably even more in LA. Lucky to get 360 40 YOV for Jurassic matches in ilands. Houston first pro cricket match in
indoor stadium. Behold the future of cricket! Can fight it or join it. Dinosaur or destiny, make your choice. 8)

64,000 crowd so far ... wonder what the LA attendance will be like.
Reckon it has been a success so far and can't help but wonder what sort of attendance and money a Windies All Star team of old vs Rest of World would attract.

not just him...all of the WI stars!
Our boys literally stopped playing cricket when they retired and that was noticed in more ways than one! ::LOL::
Re: Cricket All-Stars Series - Calypso - 11-15-2015
Watched the 3rd match @ Los Angeles tonight ...... Warne's Warriors won so 3-0 series win vs Sachin's Blasters. Prince Kumar MOS
Entertaining ..and I enjoyed watching the previous stars. Batsmen and spin bowlers did well.... fielding at times a bit sloppy and pace men didn't do that well (as expected with age) but watching Ambrose was good !!!
Hope they take this round the world..........and incidentally either team could easily beat the present day Windies Team ;D ;D ;D
