ALL OUT!
7.29.04

-USA Cricket association announced it has finally choose its CEO. Gary Hopkins, an English ex-pat businessman who has been living and working in the United States for 14 years, has been appointed chief executive of an ICC development project, designed to promote cricket in the USA. i'd say on top of his list should be to sit down with ProCricket and smooth things out between the two organizations.

- the Asia Cup final will see the hosts Sri Lanka take on India. India beat Sri Lanka in the group phase to clinch its spot in the final.

-the Weed and Hash Cup, oops I mean the Videocon Cup in Amsterdam schedule was announced. the final is august 28th, with the winning team getting a trophy made of hemp. i am all out you stoners!
