I've played tape ball in Conney island, pretty serious stuff, majority are charged up yellow cab drivers and chauffeurs who meet up at 6 am after finishing their night shifts...plenty of galli-galoch!

quite funny though seeing a long line of yellow cabs and black Lincoln town cars parked up around a basketball court, all there to play cricket.
 
I live in Milwaukee and there is both a hardball and tapeball league here. The division is across the whole midwest, we've played some matches in Mundelein, IL (I think that's how you spell it). If you're interested message me mate!
 
i have visited BROOOOOOOOKLYNNNNN and LONG ISLAND........ few times

Coney Island/Foster is the Pakistani hood lol....... loved it there ;-) ;-) ;-)
 
I played ACC last year but this year I guess they raised the fees too high so guys left the team....Now the only chance is to play some tape ball and I am very much disappointed as compare to Houston (I used to live there) where I can find 10 different places to play cricket every Friday & Saturday
 
i can organize something close to devon area .... where do you guys live?

tennis court mein kheilna hai?

It's a big caged basketball court a few blocks from Conney Island and foster ave, that's all i remember.

We will be playing in Teaneck NJ on Sunday mornings between 9-12 if anyone's interested..

Midwood field has no basketball courts so that's not it. You probably played in the school yard at Coney Island and Newkirk ave.

It's a very good field although my opinion may be a bit biased because I graduated from Midwood high school and that's our field. :)

I know a few people who graduated from Midwood (class of '04)
 
I have a cousin in Chicago and he plays tapeball cricket with about 15 other Pakistanis every Sunday. He lives in the suburbs though, quite a long drive from the city. I believe the area is called Elgin. If you guys are OK with that I can get you in contact.

Last summer when I went there I played a game, good quality cricket there.

Chicago and nearby area cricket

Hello,

I live in the northwest suburbs near Niles / Glenview / Des Plaines area and wanted to see if anyone plays or knows someone who plays in the midwest league.

Also, I am interested in tape ball cricket.

Thanks
 
Check out this website..

accleague.org


we got invitation from these guys to participate in July 4th tournament that suppose to attract some intl players as well. You might be able to get more info from these guys..

Good luck...
 
@dilojaanpakistan: Sent an email and still waiting to hear back from you. I figured if I can find someone who plays in a team or something it might be better that way.

@gothamcronie118: Thanks!

Adil I have not received any email from you ..

I live in Maryland and play in Washington Cricket League (www.wclinc.com). Check out the website. Our season started last weekend.

You will have to move to DC Metro area if you want to play with us..lol just joking but i'm sure you will be able to find a team in Chicago area...

lmao. My mind must've been somewhere else when I wrote that post.

Find me a spare room, a job and I will move to DC!
 
now thats a tough ask the way economy is..lol :):):)

you should try tho...not as cold as Chicago here and plus we got some really good cricket here...one of the best league in the country
 
I moved a few years ago from Cali. My aim is to get to FL and that's it. I love FL. Relaxed lifestyle, beaches :)
 
CA has beaches and some are very nice, no question about that but you can't compare them to FL beaches. And CA is anything but relaxed. It's a rat race!
 
FL is awesome...love going there for beaches and Cricket....played a few games in that Stadium ...its a totally diff exp yaar...Even those reg grounds are really good....we will be going again in Dec to play ing US Open championship..last year there were 32 teams, this yeary they are saying, might 64...should be a lot of fun..

good cricket, nice weather, beacher and a lot more..:):):):)
