Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Hi Julie and everyone else! Apparently, Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar have formed two teams, consisting of former players. The two teams are 'Warne's Warriors' and 'Sachin's Blasters'. More info here: http://cricketallstars2015.com/On a side note: A shout out to my friend Strider, in whose neck of the woods, the 3rd and final T20 match will be played on the 14th of November, at Dodger Stadium! I think I emailed you about this. I do hope that you get to go! Edited November 5, 2015 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 ^^^Yep, I got the notice Kiwi. Definitely want to go but teams are TBA and I have to double-check my work schedule. If it's a daytime start it might be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a daytime start it might be tough. It's on a Saturday night.The teams are insignificant as they are all great players and interchangeable, you could pick numerous configurations with the only constant being the captains.Btw most of them captained their country's teams in the past.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) You're very welcome, Julie! Even though these are T20 matches, I might actually catch a bit of the action, since there are so many legendary players involved. Crikey! I think the word that you are looking for here (as far as NZ's 1st innings batting performance goes) , is massacre! Kudos to Kane Williamson for exhibiting some fighting spirit! And a big kudos to Steve Smith and the boys! They deserve to win this test match, hands down!

Strider Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So how did the Cricket All-Stars U.S. tour go? What is the consensus...was it a financial and/or aesthetic success?Ticket prices for Saturday night's Dodger Stadium match were outrageously expensive so I went to the L.A. Kings hockey game instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
