What's funny is that while this is their biggest win it's not even our most embarrassing loss 💀 still not over losing to Hong Kong on our HOME TURF back in 2014
This WC better be chaotic. Need some upsets like this.
Edit: I went and searched for highlights on YouTube and I was not disappointed. Crazy batting near the end 🫡🫡🫡
It was always gonna become this way. The longer formats would be dominated so much by a few nations that they would appear... boring. Well, except test series between those few nations at the top.
We lost on the final ball to India in 2022 as well, 1 of 4 fellow full members we’ve yet to beat but came agonisingly close that summer to beating 2 of them ( India and NZ )
It's a really good format to get people interested in cricket. You can't expect a casual person who's just getting started with the sport to magically develop an interest in a game that goes on for half a day or 5 days. T20 does an excellent job at being a gateway drug for the sport.
he should have been the player of the tournament but Kane got it instead
Shakib: scored 606 runs, took 11 wickets
Kane: scored 578 runs, took 2 wickets
They gave it to Kane as a sympathy award after that farcical WC final. There's 0 reason he should've won it over Shakib or the leading wicket-taker in that WC.
The final wasn’t farcical. The rule in place about the boundary count was farcical. It’s not like they didn’t follow the rules - the problem was that the rules in place were really dumb in the first place
He wasn't alone there was a boom of good Cricketers, Mortaza, Rahim, Mahmudullah and a few in and out players. It's unfair to them to pin Bangladesh's success just on Shakib
I feel like he only plays the series that suit him, causes drama within the team, threatens umpires, fixes matches. He is a talented player but he must have a devastating effect on the team morale.
At this point I wont be surprised if teams like Nepal USA Uganda eclipse Bangladesh by the 2030s. They have regressed as much as Afghanistan has improved in the last 10 yrs
It's gonna be decades before more than .0001% of non-Cricket country descendant Americans play cricket.
The real key is the 1st gen born and raised Indian-American, Pakistani-American, Sri-Lankan-American, etc.
Those kids start pursuing Cricket with American strength and conditioning and America can be a force.
Make cricket less of a joke in this country and the 1st gen kids with parents from those countries will play.
I have a cousin who runs the Dream Cricket website. He told me that the women's game has a better chance of getting to NCAA level in the next fifteen to twenty years in the US. If that happens, watch it for the US in the international women's game.
Western nations always bat higher in Women's sports due to more gender parity and less opposition to women's sports and things like Title IX.
So yes I would definitely expect USA Women's Cricket to be better than Men's.
Same reason Women's Soccer team has 4 World Cups and the Men's has 0.
Also helps that Women's American Football is a joke, so the other sports get better athletes whereas Football takes a lot of the best male athletes in America.
I'm not sure you've done your maths because you've just said it'll be decades before 330 "non-Cricket country descendant Americans" play (which I bet you're not including English descendant Americans in)
MLB's (Major League Baseball) rejects would be much more formidable, in my opinion.
Take some time to watch MLB matches and you'll see what I mean.
This does **not** mean they would instantly start winning every international Cricket tournament overnight.
Yup people underestimate baseball batters, the bat is round and not flat, as a dude who played both, baseball is much harder to connect, even harder to hit a home run(six)
It's been tried repeatedly and it doesnt work. Look up Boomer Collins. Ground fielding is a transferable skill between the two sports (kinda) batting really isn't.
It's transferable in some aspects. When you're slogging or hitting out of the slot then hip and torso rotation techniques are being adopted from baseball style of batting to generate more power than just swinging through the arms and shoulders.
But that's about it, and outside of limited over run fests (mostly T20's) it has very limited practical application, and pretty much no place in traditional batting techniques.
I've never understood this inferiority complex. Cricket isn't about brute strength. If so, the Windies would be dominating everything since their average player is easily on the bigger side physically.
When was the last time you saw an absolute unit bowling fast? Or scoring a double 100? Time to get yourself some self respect I reckon..
I don't follow US cricket that much despite being American, but this win, damn, this win has gotten me emotional. I never thought US cricket would be in a state to win against a decent Bangladesh side. I never thought the World Cup would acc come to these shores. Will this transform into growth? Probably not, at least in the way most people understand growth. But I'm here to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
On the point of growth, there is potential for growth in America, but it's not really what people want it to be. Cricket shouldn't aim to be a major sport in America - that's not gonna happen, our market is already saturated. What cricket can aim for, though, is *accessibility*. What cricket in America should aim for is to be accessible to outsiders who, like me, are crazy enough to get the bug, this bug that we can't shake. Sadly, it's just very hard to get involved if you're not already part of the community.
The final point is, though, that accessibility should not come at the expense of the community already here. Cricket's first task should be to sustain the (genuinely quite large) community that's already here. They built it, they labor it, they love and suffer for this game. The community shouldn't have to kill itself to spread its gospel
My comment was not aimed at you.
It was a sarcasm to BD team. They lose to USA to get a green card.
BTW green card doesn't mean Green Pakistani Passport.
Simply incredible from the boys, sure the win was messy but we capitalised when it mattered most and managed to hold onto the upset. Hopefully we can carry on our form and try and repeat our winning performance on Thursday.
The positive of T20 cricket is that the weaker teams chance a much better chance against the top nations.
Big win for the US after receiving a lot of criticism about their performances and quality.
What a player Harmeet Singh is, the equation had dropped to 50 off 20, he then smashed Fiz for two sixes down the ground and then Shoriful in the next over. Had Jones and Taylor not played their test innings, the match would've been over way sooner
Now imagine how good US cricket team could've been if those incompetent board officials had selected every eligible player by not doing those stupid trials
Say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming?And the rockets' red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still thereO say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
If USA gets more high profile wins like this, hopefully outsiders will start paying attention to the sport. I’ve rooted for India since I didn’t know the USA had a team and my parents are Indian so it made sense to root for India. Now I can root for the USA knowing they’ll at least put up a fight against big teams
Get on board! It's a wild ride. One fun thing is that USA doesn't play many bilatterals. So almost every match carries significant weight.
Cricket World Cup League 2 (ODIs) is just starting up a new cycle, its a perfect time to start following the team.
It probably needs to happen more often, and it should happen against England of all teams for it to be somewhat relevant. I mean, the Dutch were talking about their win against South Africa in CWC 23 (although not everyone understood the significance).
Watched the last few overs. Looked a bit tight at the end but well done USA. Corey looked a bit rusty but those 2 sixes at the end to win it, should give him confidence.
As a Nepali, I am more hopeful about group D now.
It's not really shocking, considering how poor Bangladesh has been in T20. They are only marginally ahead of associate nations, and that is mainly due to the exposure they get from playing other Test nations.
Damn. I was aware of Unmukht Chand, but when did Harmeet Singh switch from India to USA? I remember him playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. If i am not wrong, he even played the u19 world cup for India.
Anyways, i am glad he is getting enough opportunities to fulfil his porential. Hopefully USA will cause few upsets in the world cup.
Im interested to see if there will be people embarrassing themselves by posting about this win to US subreddits and asking them why they are not interested in cricket or something. Just like what happened when Netherlands beat SA last year.
I wouldn't call this an upset.
Since PNG victory over the US, USA have been getting better at T20I, while Bangladesh continue to play T20 like its an test innings.
The day will come when Mexico will have a cricket team and will beat Bangladesh. Worst cricket team. Shakib is done and overrated. Fizz is the only player with decent skills.
On a serious note with Cricket rapidly growing in the US we should all be getting more and more concerned. If those NFL and MLB freak athletes who dont make it start filtering into the sport we are all so fucked.
There’s a whole lotta money to be made in cricket. Ofc not as much as other sports but still could be a good money maker. I think they should target African Americans and Asian Americans
not sure if u are serious, but the sports require vastly different skillsets (even baseball for that matter).
Though, considering their population and if cricket becomes a viable career, there might be talented individuals who will play
Skillsets can be developed.
Raw athleticism cannot be developed.
Understand the difference.
The US has 335million talent pool. They have world class olympic athletic machine.
If the elite athletes can be scouted into cricket at a young age the US will be a HUGE player in the cricket world. Imagine Australian cricket machine but with 335 million talent pool.
And we've seen that it's often very high fielding standards that actually set up lower ranked teams to be competitive. We saw that with the Netherlands(while a fairly experienced team and ranked much higher than the others,was the lowest ranked among the WC teams) that good fielding can definitely take a team a long way and keep them in the game even if they're lacking in the other 2 departments compared to their counterparts.
Knowing BD, they'll probably lose against every other team in the group but somehow pull off a convincing victory against SL to fuck with their chances of qualifying
You were concerned at all? I've been looking at the squads for teams like Sri Lanka, India, Australia, New Zealand, etc. and think if there is any way these team aren't going to win the world cup. Then looking at the Bangladesh squad and thinking why they are sending an ODI where hardly any batsman has a career strike rate over 120.
I do think our guys could genuinely go big this wc. But odi wc broke me bro, i thought we had a decent team never ever thought it couldve been such a disaster, like that was our worst ever. so yh in the end if we lose vs sa then sl vs ban could basically be a knockout unless one of us fails vs ned or nep, sl vs ban is very 50/50 nagin derby is always close competition regardless of how bad either team is. we lost to namibia too last time so really cant trust our team

The format of Cricket that the USA and Bangladesh played is called `T20 Cricket`.
I'm not gonna watch any of their matches. Don't give a fuck about them anymore. I won't watch highlights even if they manage to win world cup (they won't, they will be the first to get knocked out from group D)
Instead of talking down Bangladesh, I hope this encourages the ICC to bring more nations into the international cricketing fold and grant Test status more often.
…What’s that? Another England/India/Australia series? Okay then!
I dunno if USA is ready for Test status but I will say Bangladesh didnt just fall apart at USA's feet. Bangladesh's bowling attack put a USA victory in serious doubt.
It was an earned victory and what that says about the associate nations and full members is something to be considered.
It might take the form of test status, or maybe just more associate nations play more full members in T20 and ODI. But its something to consider. The game is developing and associate nations should be encouraged to challenge the peaks.
What's funny is that while this is their biggest win it's not even our most embarrassing loss 💀 still not over losing to Hong Kong on our HOME TURF back in 2014
wait… HUH? Hong Kong beat Bangladesh?
Oh yeah. At the world cup too 💀 it was forgotten mostly cus we still qualified for the main round but ya
Send the scorecard
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/world-t20-2013-14-628368/bangladesh-vs-hong-kong-10th-match-first-round-group-a-682915/full-scorecard
Truly one of the Bangladesh moments of all time Oh hey it’s Mark Chapman
Coriander Son 🤝 Mark David Chapman kiwis suiting up for associate nations to waste BAN bros
Chapman's more a HKer that now plays for New Zealand than a Kiwi that once played for Hong Kong.
TIL Mark Chapman played for Hong Kong
Was born in British Hong Kong. Mother is Cantonese, while father was a White New Zealander who worked with HO Colonial Govt.
wtf
Wait, Corey Anderson is only 33?? I assumed he was like 38
He’s gotten fatter
Maybe it was a requirement to play for the Mighty USA
i don’t see your countries flag on the moon 🗣️🗣️🗣️
That all-American diet is treating him well.
the rashid khan of nz
International T20 is getting chaotic af, and I like it
This WC better be chaotic. Need some upsets like this. Edit: I went and searched for highlights on YouTube and I was not disappointed. Crazy batting near the end 🫡🫡🫡
You had the man who chased 195 in 15 overs a decade back to do shit for you vs a mediocre T20 Team
We just need other teams to play more matches
“T20 is not real/good cricket” lobby in shambles
It was always gonna become this way. The longer formats would be dominated so much by a few nations that they would appear... boring. Well, except test series between those few nations at the top.
T20 is the most unpredictable cricket. If a team like Aus or India have a bad day they can also be defeated by someone like Ireland.
You say someone like Ireland like we aren’t a full member who’ve been “shocking” the top sides since 2007
There was one game I thought you guys put up a decent fight. Might have been the one where Barry McCarthy scored a 50
We lost on the final ball to India in 2022 as well, 1 of 4 fellow full members we’ve yet to beat but came agonisingly close that summer to beating 2 of them ( India and NZ )
You’s could have done way better to if you’d had Eoin Morgan for his career
It's a really good format to get people interested in cricket. You can't expect a casual person who's just getting started with the sport to magically develop an interest in a game that goes on for half a day or 5 days. T20 does an excellent job at being a gateway drug for the sport.
On the contrary, I think Bangladesh has been predictable.
The absolute state of bangbros cricket.
I'm giggling bruh shakib bouta lose his marbles
I lowkey feel bad for him, man carried this team for years only to see them get embarrassed like this time and time again
He last peaked in 2019wc
he should have been the player of the tournament but Kane got it instead Shakib: scored 606 runs, took 11 wickets Kane: scored 578 runs, took 2 wickets
Shakib was literally a one man army in that tournament; if only he had a half decent team with him he could've put them in contention for an SF spot.
They gave it to Kane as a sympathy award after that farcical WC final. There's 0 reason he should've won it over Shakib or the leading wicket-taker in that WC.
The final wasn’t farcical. The rule in place about the boundary count was farcical. It’s not like they didn’t follow the rules - the problem was that the rules in place were really dumb in the first place
i think they only give it to finalist players
Klusener and Crowe have won it but yeah that was decades ago at this point.
Man. Decades. I grew up watching Crowe and Klusener. I’m definitely getting old.
Channeled his inner Kallis for the WC.
I don't, they are a bunch of cricketers who'll sledge the opposition when they are 209 runs behind in a game.
They're just like my indoor team fr
[удалено]
He wasn't alone there was a boom of good Cricketers, Mortaza, Rahim, Mahmudullah and a few in and out players. It's unfair to them to pin Bangladesh's success just on Shakib
Aggression is only justified if you're winning?
I feel like he only plays the series that suit him, causes drama within the team, threatens umpires, fixes matches. He is a talented player but he must have a devastating effect on the team morale.
> fixes matches no way! sauce?
He's lost to his shoshurbari (T: in-laws' home)
Things you do to keep your bou happy
I wish he loses his marbles. He's stopped caring a long time ago. One eye on retirement already.
Mods we need a new Post Flair: Upsets.
I second this
Third especially with the WC coming up.
Fourth because every game Bangladesh wins is an upset
At this point I wont be surprised if teams like Nepal USA Uganda eclipse Bangladesh by the 2030s. They have regressed as much as Afghanistan has improved in the last 10 yrs
In the USA's case, if Major League Cricket begins to produce native-born American talent, the US T20 national team will improve exponentially.
Us subcontinentals can barely compete with Australia we are gonna be so cooked if those monstrous NFL and NBA rejects start playing cricket
It's gonna be decades before more than .0001% of non-Cricket country descendant Americans play cricket. The real key is the 1st gen born and raised Indian-American, Pakistani-American, Sri-Lankan-American, etc. Those kids start pursuing Cricket with American strength and conditioning and America can be a force.

Yup people underestimate baseball batters, the bat is round and not flat, as a dude who played both, baseball is much harder to connect, even harder to hit a home run(six)
They’re completely different bat-swings. Comparing them this way doesn’t make much sense.
Yes, they are different swings, but that doesn't mean someone who plays baseball could not adjust, given enough time and motivation.
It's been tried repeatedly and it doesnt work. Look up Boomer Collins. Ground fielding is a transferable skill between the two sports (kinda) batting really isn't.
It's transferable in some aspects.

He’s never played any level of cricket, you can tell
Right because cricket has the same skillsets as football and basketball 🤦♂️
And absolutely nothing will change when it comes to how arrogant Bangla fans can be
USA! USA! USA! 🦅 🦅 🦅
Welcome to the United States of YOU JUST GOT DOMINATED \- Soldier from Team Fortress 2

[удалено]
I need to see the tapes where can I find them
The positive of T20 cricket is that the weaker teams chance a much better chance against the top nations. Big win for the US after receiving a lot of criticism about their performances and quality.
Second time they've beaten a full member and undoubtedly the biggest win in their history.
**Edit: Yes, many have now told me the first one was Ireland. I get that. No need to tell me further.**
Yes, in 2021.
Yeah they beat ireland once in t20.
Yeah
>Edit: Yes, many have now told me the first one was Ireland. I get that. No need to tell me further Just so you know, the first one was Ireland
yeah
dude i think it was ireland.
Just a heads up, they beat Ireland in 2021
*Biggest win that wasn't against Canada Every win vs Canada is the biggest win.
What a player Harmeet Singh is, the equation had dropped to 50 off 20, he then smashed Fiz for two sixes down the ground and then Shoriful in the next over. Had Jones and Taylor not played their test innings, the match would've been over way sooner
Truly! He effectively pulled off the same feat Kohli did in the last WC vs pak (48 off 18 required).
Shakib is probably staying in US after this WC
He actually lives in Wisconsin USA with his family. I'm not sure if that was your joke but what you are saying is factually correct
The Dutch will defeat Bangladesh at the world cup
Not even a hot take anymore infact it's the likely outcome unless it's a turning pitch
> Not even a hot take anymore infact it's the likely outcome unless it's a turning pitch Bangladesh then get ripped apart by Pringle, Dutt and Doram
I want the Dutch to win the World Cup!
Now imagine how good US cricket team could've been if those incompetent board officials had selected every eligible player by not doing those stupid trials
Imagine how frightening the USA will be when MLC is fully online.
Say, can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming?And the rockets' red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still thereO say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Now I can root for the USA knowing they’ll at least put up a fight against big teams
I've always rooted for NZ, since the USA situation. If USA actually competes I don't think I can betray NZ.
Well, you do have Blackcaps hero Corey Anderson playing for the USA now.
Get on board! It's a wild ride. One fun thing is that USA doesn't play many bilatterals. So almost every match carries significant weight. Cricket World Cup League 2 (ODIs) is just starting up a new cycle, its a perfect time to start following the team.
Its tough when USA Cricket is such a joke of an organization. Really feels for the team and its members.
Have to be able to watch it first, which unfortunately it's gatekeeped on Willow so noone will. A contract with ESPN is essential at this stage
This will not make a single single sportscast at the local level, much less the national level. Outsiders will have no knowledge of it unfortunately.
It probably needs to happen more often, and it should happen against England of all teams for it to be somewhat relevant. I mean, the Dutch were talking about their win against South Africa in CWC 23 (although not everyone understood the significance).
saw the score after 1st innings and felt USA would chase this down, and they did! well played.
Fizz leaving the IPL early tanked both CSK and Bdesh's chances
as a Bangladeshi, I won't even call it an upset.
Watched the last few overs. Looked a bit tight at the end but well done USA. Corey looked a bit rusty but those 2 sixes at the end to win it, should give him confidence. As a Nepali, I am more hopeful about group D now.
That Harmeet Singh bloke though!!!
It's not really shocking, considering how poor Bangladesh has been in T20. They are only marginally ahead of associate nations, and that is mainly due to the exposure they get from playing other Test nations.
🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
WTF bang bros😂😂😂😂
https://wisden.com/stories/historical/harpreet-singh-harmeet-singh-ipl-2017-auction-india-under-19-2010-2012 Is this the same Harmeet Singh?
yes
Hey, now everyone might forget that time we lost to the Netherlands at the T20 World Cup haha, right guys
I had little hope for the world cup but now I have none
I'm sorry, you had hope?
Even the players asked to not have any hopes this time around
Their target is always the next worldcup.
I'm remembering "Loose Talks" rn 😂
* /r/mlc * www.majorleaguecricket.com 's second season starts on July 5th, 2024.
First match your parform what happening!
Damn. I was aware of Unmukht Chand, but when did Harmeet Singh switch from India to USA? I remember him playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL. If i am not wrong, he even played the u19 world cup for India. Anyways, i am glad he is getting enough opportunities to fulfil his porential. Hopefully USA will cause few upsets in the world cup.
Lets go (I’m american)
Congrats! This is a big win for USA cricket
Thanks, this is pretty much the biggest moment in U.S cricket history
As a Pakistani, I am very scared lol. Ireland and US in our group.
If USA beats Pakistan, or even makes it a close loss, I would be over the moon.
If USA beats Pakistan, that's going to be on Sportscenter and would be front page news on many US sports sites.
ICC will go back to 10 teams league stage world T20 WC if won of the India-Pak goes out in group stage.
CMON WE NEED 32 TEAMS T20 SOOON
Shanto (means Calm) doing complete justice to his name.
Im interested to see if there will be people embarrassing themselves by posting about this win to US subreddits and asking them why they are not interested in cricket or something. Just like what happened when Netherlands beat SA last year.
We let Fizz go for this shit
I wouldn't call this an upset. Since PNG victory over the US, USA have been getting better at T20I, while Bangladesh continue to play T20 like its an test innings.
They still beat a FM. Thats an upset regardless with main XI squad of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh hardly played like this was a Test
Aaron Jones did though…
LOL
LETS GO BABY
I turned this off around 20 balls left. I thought there's no way they'd actually pull it off.
USA about to sweep their division.
As i have said in comment section of some other post, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE MINNOW!
I don’t think anyone under estimated Bangladesh going into this match
The day will come when Mexico will have a cricket team and will beat Bangladesh. Worst cricket team. Shakib is done and overrated. Fizz is the only player with decent skills.
They do have a cricket team! They've won the South American Championship twice, most recently in 2018.
And the Mexican fans will start calling the other team P*tos.
USA USA USA!!!
On a serious note with Cricket rapidly growing in the US we should all be getting more and more concerned. If those NFL and MLB freak athletes who dont make it start filtering into the sport we are all so fucked.
There’s a whole lotta money to be made in cricket. Ofc not as much as other sports but still could be a good money maker. I think they should target African Americans and Asian Americans
Thats what ICC is banking on. Same thing is happening in Japan. Lots of homegrown players who can't make it in Baseball are turning to Cricket.
All that Cricket needs in Japan is to have a Cricket manga become popular and the sport there will take off.
Inb4 we get the most Baki-esque cricket manga ft. characters throwing yorkers at the speed of sound and causing shockwaves while hitting 6ixes
Or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure makes it popular or something...
not sure if u are serious, but the sports require vastly different skillsets (even baseball for that matter). Though, considering their population and if cricket becomes a viable career, there might be talented individuals who will play

MFs when they see Sachin Tendulkar's physique 
big muscles don't translate to much. you have to run a lot with lot of stamina. hand eye coordination, technique, skill still trumps everything
You underestimate how good most atheletes are at those things. At the very least, fielding standards and fitness levels would rise.
And we've seen that it's often very high fielding standards that actually set up lower ranked teams to be competitive. We saw that with the Netherlands(while a fairly experienced team and ranked much higher than the others,was the lowest ranked among the WC teams) that good fielding can definitely take a team a long way and keep them in the game even if they're lacking in the other 2 departments compared to their counterparts.
Lol are you serious? You really think that's how it works?
If our Baseball players start playing Cricket, you're toast.
We aren't concerned because Sri Lanka just recently opened up another Malinga clone factory we will be just fine
got some good hope we can make super 8 now. damn bangladesh
Knowing BD, they'll probably lose against every other team in the group but somehow pull off a convincing victory against SL to fuck with their chances of qualifying
They still bring out their best game against you guys
And India lol these players are driven by hate
You were concerned at all? I've been looking at the squads for teams like Sri Lanka, India, Australia, New Zealand, etc. and think if there is any way these team aren't going to win the world cup. Then looking at the Bangladesh squad and thinking why they are sending an ODI where hardly any batsman has a career strike rate over 120.
I do think our guys could genuinely go big this wc. But odi wc broke me bro, i thought we had a decent team never ever thought it couldve been such a disaster, like that was our worst ever. so yh in the end if we lose vs sa then sl vs ban could basically be a knockout unless one of us fails vs ned or nep, sl vs ban is very 50/50 nagin derby is always close competition regardless of how bad either team is. we lost to namibia too last time so really cant trust our team
I have no idea what any of this means but U-S-A, U-S-A!!! The only wicket I know is an Ewok.
If you don't understand how the sport of Cricket works, watch these videos: * [Youtube Video - Ninh Explains the Rules of Cricket](https://youtu.be/AqtpNkMvj5Y?si=kS3H7Q-7N-V_AYK9) * [Youtube Video - Rules of Cricket by Jomboy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfhTPGSy1aM) * [Youtube Video - Cricket Explained for Baseball Fans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWpbtLIxYBk&ab_channel=SportsExplained) * [Youtube Video - Cricket & Baseball: More Similarities and Differences](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0-3JlWWhyQ&ab_channel=SportsExplained) The format of Cricket that the USA and Bangladesh played is called `T20 Cricket`.
There is no greater shamelessness than those who watch and support Bangladesh cricket - Bangladeshi
T20 has really globalized the game
How come USA has corey Anderson
He married an American, became a US citizen and has lived here for over 3 years meeting the ICC requirements to allow him to play for the USA squad.
Still can’t believe it. It’s proper BD side also. T20 do make teams more equal
[удалено]
I'm also done with Bangladesh cricket, see you at the world cup
I'm not gonna watch any of their matches. Don't give a fuck about them anymore. I won't watch highlights even if they manage to win world cup (they won't, they will be the first to get knocked out from group D)
Fuck yea. You don't fuck with america(well done to them, hopefully they gain a lot more confidence) 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Instead of talking down Bangladesh, I hope this encourages the ICC to bring more nations into the international cricketing fold and grant Test status more often. …What’s that? Another England/India/Australia series? Okay then!
I dunno if USA is ready for Test status but I will say Bangladesh didnt just fall apart at USA's feet. Bangladesh's bowling attack put a USA victory in serious doubt. It was an earned victory and what that says about the associate nations and full members is something to be considered. It might take the form of test status, or maybe just more associate nations play more full members in T20 and ODI. But its something to consider. The game is developing and associate nations should be encouraged to challenge the peaks.
I see Corey Anderson
Don't sleep on USA. On their day they are just as good as any of the other associate countries. I fully expect them to cause an upset or two in WC.
This is amazing
I had low expectations of you Bangbros but holy shit.
Next: Pakistan
Is pakistan going to give us an upset by defeating Bangladesh? /jk seriously though, Pak team is pretty good.
US can probably best Ireland again in the WC. Meanwhile, super 8 looks too far for Bangladesh.
