Tom wrote "...the conclusion that CHALLC has squarely run into the (to date) impenetrable wall that has derailed every other effort, in every form or fashion...", this certainly seems to be pointed at everybody who has ever tried to advance cricket in the USA. This would definitely include USYCA. And I think when an organisation such as ...

Utterly hilarious, but at the same time, truly scary. This is the organisation to lead cricket forward in the USA???

Congratulations to the USA team on moving back up to Div 3. It will be interesting to see how they perform more close to home, and it will again be interesting to watch the behaviour of the USACA board and how they go about preparing the team for an important series.

 [quote user="journalist"]The tiebreaker would be net run rate and currently USA holds a healthy advantage over Denmark and a very wide advantage over Singapore.

So potentially, USA's hope of promotion might already be dashed. Even if they win their remaining 3 matches, including beating Nepal, they may finish 3rd on net run rate if Nepal beat Denmark and all 3 teams don't lose to Tanzania, Singapore and Malaysia. Goes to show how crucial each match is. And that is as it should be in all tournaments, ...

Just wondering how the data is collected. To be a registered player, do you need to be in a league registered with USACA? How many games are required in a season to qualify?

100 kids... in a country of 300 million... Pffft! HAHAHAHA!!! Come back when you've racked up 1000. No wait, 10,000. Yeah, that'll keep you busy! Okay, now I can take my sarcasm hat off. Great work Jamie and everyone involved with USYCA.

Do they get any sort of crowds to these games? How are the ground conditions?

Should the USA team be graded compared with all the other teams or graded against realistic expectations for their capabilities? Simplest grade for the team is that they finished 12th out of 16. But considering that they are currently in WCL Div 4, lowest ranked alongside Nepal and Denmark, that is pretty much all that could have been expected of ...

It's funny that a win over an ODI nation doesn't get a single comment left. Well done to the players!
