I didn't know about this series. Looking at the scores the US excelled against a very good side - Lara on form is awesome. Not the force they were - but not to be sneered at especially in the one day game.

I would love for the US to get into Cricket and become a Test nation - but there isn't the appetite for it is there?

We nearly won the first match by five wickets. Massiah, our captain, is a very talented batsman, and if he hadn't gotten out in that last over, we may have found those six runs for victory.

Its amazing our players are as good as they are, considering they don't have the opportunity to play as many quality international sides as often as they should.

I don't think 95 Americans out of 100 can even tell you what cricket is, other than having a vague idea of it as some sort of golf/baseball hybrid played with a flat bat.
