If they weren't already, Italy is establishing itself as a top 4 European NOC, not that there was a lot of competition. It'd be more interesting to see if they can bridge the gap between themselves and Ireland and Netherlands.

I really hope we somehow can find the way to develop this game and not just relying on imprt players for the rest of our days

 

we have a really large number of young people with heritage from true Cricket Nations like India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh that already play for fun in the public parks and recreation areas in many of our cities

 

hopefully we should try and get them into the organized game, but first we need to promote the game all around the Country and build some decent infrastructure in order to grow up a serious "system"

 

I know it's gonna be avery, very long process, but at least we should have room for that in this sport, it's not hopeless like ice hockey

back to the field of play, earlier Today the :AUS men's BBL came to a conclusion of an amazing season (record breaking attendance at the stadiums and in front of the TV screens) with a very exciting match between the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Thunder

 

the guys from Tasmania finally won it in style thanks to a smashing batting performance: after the Thunder posted a big 182/7 off 20 overs, they answered with a mighty 185/3 off 14.1 overs and won by 7 wickets

 

hero of the day was Mitch Owen, who scored (tied) the fastest century in the BBL history (100 off 39 balls, ended the day with 108 off 42 balls) for the Hobart Hurricanes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Bosisto This sounds like an Italian name, correct? Maybe he's qualified too? https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/will-bosisto-the-lost-boy-of-australian-cricket-finds-his-way-in-the-bpl-1470740

Just notice that :AUS Usman Khawaja scored 232 runs off 352 balls in a single innings in the Test match against Sri Lanka. 

Two other Australian players have already scored centuries, and the Aussi are 591/5. Massive batting performance


In other news, Steven Smith scored 10k runs in his Test career.

yes, that's definitely an Italian sounding name...

 

but I have no idea if he's potentially eligible for our NT (especially for an Olympic team) :dunno:

The great cricket is back! :cheer:
The Championship Trophy starts today, where the best eight teams in the world will compete. Afghanistan will be there for the first time, while Sri Lanka failed to qualify. The tournament will be held in Pakistan, except for India's matches, including the semi-finals and final, which will be held in Dubai
