Not many...USA have done well with the venues...all good for the game.....The sport will never be big there though

The shortened format is a leveller and 'minor' teams can create upsets . . that is part of the attraction to the spectator. The Netherlands beat England in the opening round of the 2009 world cup in England.

Did Pakistan field their best team, the same players who would be in in a Test?
But still an achievement for the US, well done.

@ninalanyon no Test team is different

@ninalanyon Nina...That was Pakistan's strongest one day team...probably only 2 or 3 changes for the test format xx

@tan778 Test team is only different by one opener...a leg spinner and a pacemen

Interesting. Cricket is hardly even played in the U.S. I'd have to guess most of the players are from other countries.

@Ynotisay Major League Cricket now exists,has List ‘A’ status and to have even part of a major tournament in the country is something of a coup for American cricket.
They do have two wins over Bangladesh too but they rather slipped under the radar.

I have to look up English language Pakistani newspapers, see their reaction

I live close to the new stadium. The national teams stayed at a hotel in my town .

Bangladesh also lost against USA .
What a great match !.
What a great match !.
The hope is to grow the game in North America as a whole; if USA and Canada can do well in this tournament, and more American boys and girls will take up the game.

@jackieash27 There is a stadium built on Long Island, NY just for one of these games. Don't know what their plans for it afterwards.

I am very energised by this great USA performance....It was well deserved with some great cricket....I really hope that it will be recognised properly in the USA

And it hurt us Pakistanis
tan778 · 31-35, M
@ninalanyon yeah, but still Pakistan play lots of cricket
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@tan778 Oh yes, the US did well. But with quite a lot of Pakistani/Indian personnel. :-)
Still it's encouraging to see the US engaging international sport. I wonder how many people in the US know about it.

@ninalanyon Several of the US team were born in America,

And today Canada beat Ireland which may not be so much of a shock but Ireland are a Test nation.

I find cricket mind numbingly boring
oldundieslover · 70-79, M
@Mysterion619 It is no more boring than American sports
TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M
Certainly is.
