    Tri-City Cricket Club, Schenectady NY

    Cricket still going strong in upstate New York USA Well, it's been almost a full year since I last posted out here... This is the sort of thing one does when it's too cold outside to play cricket.... at least it's the sort of thing I do... No one else seems interested in discussing Tri-City...

    Tri-City Cricket Club, Schenectady NY

    Well, I see now it's been almost two years since I've posted anything out here.. but with the 2007 season now in full swing, I'm feeling like posting a note to myself (since not a single person on my club has ever even gone out here... except me, I think.... at least, none have ever posted)...

    2005 Season begins.....

    SuperKingDave, So far, our season has been....rain....and more rain.....and, oh, by the way...rain. We've only managed to get one match in (a 65 run victory), and we had an away match yesterday that I was unable to attend, so I haven't heard how we did in that one. You can read about our...

    2005 Season begins.....

    Robertinho, Actually, we didn't even have ice hockey on TV this year... They went on strike, so the whole NHL season was lost! But I agree...we need more cricket on the air.... Steve

    2005 Season begins.....

    Kwek, Thanks for the good wishes. It sounds like the season in the Netherlands runs about the same as it does here in the northeastern U.S. By the way, did you know that this part of America was originally settled by Netherlanders?? I'm actually involved in the New Netherland's...

    2005 Season begins.....

    SuperKingDave, Thanks for the good wishes. The weather's getting warmer, and this weekend looks like our first chance to get out and prepare the wicket and play. I had a friend from Australia visit last fall.... He couldn't believe what we play on... called it a goat path, I believe...

    2005 Season begins.....

    Well, it's time for me to post another message to myself.... as no one but me seems to enjoy poking around out here on the Tri-City CC forum.... At least since a couple of years ago! At any rate, Tri-City is poised to begin our 2005 season April 16th, as we host a fledgling club from Colgate...

    Too darn COOOOLLLLDDD!

    Rich2001, We are located in upstate NY, about 3 hours due north of New York City, in Schenectady (that's pronounced ska-NEK-tah-dee, in case it wasn't obvious.... :lol: ). Under "Contact Information" I have listed my phone number, as well as the Vice-President, and Captain. I...

    Too darn COOOOLLLLDDD!

    Eyes, Good to "see" from you again! Sorry to hear about the rain, but you have to admit, -40 F is pretty brutal. I didn't even go out of the house today it was so cold! It's days like this that make me think "Hmmm, maybe I could live in Australia half the year, and the U.S. the other...

    Too darn COOOOLLLLDDD!

    Well, since absolutely NO ONE seems interested in actually chatting about Tri-City Cricket club out here on the Cricket Web, I figure I might as well post something. Right now in upstate NY (NOT New York City... we're about 3 hours north), temperatures have plummeted to a record -30 to -50...

    Cricket in America...

    Mr. Mxyzptlk, I never doubted your linguistic prowess for a second..... Just busting your chops, as the expression goes....! No doubt, your Spanish is far superior to mine... In the U.S., we don't typically start language training until age 13 or 14... way too late, in my opinion...

    Cricket in America...

    Cloete, Thanks for the positive feedback. It's very encouraging to hear, and makes it easier for me to stay focused and persistent in my efforts to get cricket the recognition it deserves in this country. Of course, there are always going to be detractors, as you can see already on this...

    Cricket in America...

    I've just spent some time on the forums of uscricket.com , and I have to say, it's frustrating to see all the sniping and backbiting that is plaguing cricket in the U.S. So many competing factions seem to be fighting over control, and no on is thinking about the good of the game!!! I also get...

    Tri-City CC wins Inaugural Mayor's cup

    LuckyEddie, Wow... I'm honored!!! But please make sure you understand... most U.S. cricketers use the term "box"... it's just those of us native born, baseball playing Americans that grew up using the term cup....! Steve

    Tri-City CC wins Inaugural Mayor's cup

    Eddie, Actually, the irony of it all is that here in the U.S., we refer to that portion of a cricketer's "personal protective equipment" as a cup, rather than a "box", so I had asked that the tourney just be for the Mayor's Trophy....... Seriously, though, the first practice I showed up at...

    Tri-City CC wins Inaugural Mayor's cup

    Eyes, Almost forgot about the umpiring!!! In general, it was good, but the soft wicket made it easier, as many of our guys got out reaching for shots and popping out becuase the ball wouldn't come on to the bat... Not much umpiring needed for a clean catch of a little pop up!! Steve

    Tri-City CC wins Inaugural Mayor's cup

    Thanks for the replies, Eyes & Marc..... Not sure WHY no one posts, but it sure would be nice. It might have something to do with the fact that most of the guys don't use computers all that much..... mostly cell phones (or as the English call them, mobile phones....). I got a lot of kidding...

    Tri-City CC wins Inaugural Mayor's cup

    Despite the echoes of non-participation out here on our Tri-City CC board, I nonetheless feel compelled to announce that Tri-City has emerged VICTORIOUS in our first ever Mayor's Cup match with West Hill CC of Albany. Now, those who are unfamiliar with the two clubs (which would be everyone...

    How old is Try City CC?

    Craig, Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your query.... Just haven't had time to check the forum now that the season is under way.... Tri-City has been around since the early 80's, but I've only been with them for the past three seasons. We currently have about 27 paid up members...
