Any update by the tv channels?

 

[ZAK]

The supersopper is out and drying the outfield.

 

[mnoman15]

If it keeps raining today hopefully, we wont be beaten 3-0 and scoreboard would be like 2-0 just as west indies )

 

[Inswinger]

Are you serious?

Yes. The heavy covers have been removed and the square is cover free now. But the light cover is still on the pitch.

 

[Nazir_ Rules]

So far the only update is the SCG camera it self. I guess they are right (a picture tells a thousand words) this is much better then listening to the Ausi commentry!

 

[pakistani]

Any update by the tv channels?

[Inswinger]

Hey Dude

Question; How did you get so much into cricket living in NY ?

It was during the 2003 World Cup. There was so much hype around the Indi-Pak match. That's the first match I can remember watching and since then I've been hooked. Growing up in NY baseball, NFL, and basketball were my main sports but cricket has made its way in the top 4. I still prefer baseball over cricket and NFL is tied with cricket for second. I guess its a part of growing up in NYC. Moved here when I was 5.

[cricfan967]

It is looking very bright out there!

Must be obviously inswing being born and raised in NY but still following the game with so much interest. WHen I was in the US all I knew about cricket was what my father told me, never watched one game till I moved to Oz...
