International One Day Cricket in Houston!
This one certainly caught me off guard but apparently next month there are going to be some International One Day cricket matches held in Houston at the Astrodome. I was bored so I was just looking at Ticketmaster to see if there was anything upcoming that I wanted to goto when I saw Cricket listed, so I had a co-worker check my sanity, then looked again and well I wasn’t imagining it!
Apparently a group named Cricket World International (CWI), has arranged 3 matches along with a special dinner between the 16th and 19th of June. I am hoping that the event turns out to be better quality than their website though, who does professional websites like that in Frontpage 4? It just looks awful, especially with those rediculous Java buttons. (If anyone from CWI is reading this I’ll volunteer to redesign your site in exchange for some free tickets…).
There is only one Aussie listed as playing though, Michael Bevan but hey I’m not complaining, it’s Cricket a sport that is distinctly not American and if they have VB and meat pies on offer I will be in heaven!
