Nepal and USA playing at the moment. Nepal off to a good start, at 1/53 off 10.

Any good players in the Nepal team?

Sandeep is good, plays in the ipl. Not sure about any of the others.

Ah yeah, I meant other than Lamicchane. Would be nice to see them become a major cricketing nation.

Parad Khadka was legit imo, sadly he retired earlier this year. At 32 I think he still had plenty left to contribute to the associate circuit.

There's a bit of a drop off from him to the next best non-Lamicchane player I think. Rohit Paudel is pretty exciting for a 19 year old bat though.

Scotland win their T20 series against Scotland with a really big run chase of the third match. Brendan Taylor now retires from international cricket.

Kenya's cricket normalization committee published a draft constitution for what will be known as the Cricket Kenya federation. My favourite article so far.

TIL Bermuda has an annual 2 day public holiday just to play a traditional Emancipation Day cricket match. It's a 2-day game played between two clubs, St Georges and Somerset, and every year the whole country gets a holiday just to watch this cricket game.

It's a beautiful tradition! It's a shame not everywhere has it.

So Sri Lanka are playing a two-match T20 series vs Oman

Won the first game by just 19 runs. Backing Oman to win the 2nd.

 

[cnerd123]

Oman 88/3 for 12 batting first vs SL

Could get a good score here

 

[andruid]

159/8 isn't that bad

 

[cnerd123]

SL in trouble. Let's go Oman!
