by Peter Della Penna It’s been a little over four years since cricket hijacked my life. The stick and ball sport holds my thoughts hostage 24/7.

By Peter Della Penna Last week’s strong second place showing at the ICC Americas U-19 Regional Qualifier in Toronto was a huge step for Team USA. They are now only one step away from making the U-19 World Cup next February in New Zealand for the first time since 2006. Team USA finished 4-1 at the Regional...

It started raining once again but here are the results - Canada won on D/L, Bermuda had to get through the over without losing the wicket but they did not do that. USA got Caymans's last wicket just as the rain started to fall - remarkably bowling out Caymans for 64 all out. Bahamas won against Argentina...

Sorry Zniazi. Regrettably, it is over. 4:52 PM: All done. 131 all out in 39 overs. Patel takes quick two wickets. 9-0-28-3. USA must now defeat Caymans. And hope that Canada defeats Bermuda. If Bermuda defeats Canada, things could get somewhat interesting with NRR coming into picture.

The man we wanted to stay Burton, he departs for 22.... This is getting crazy.....128 for 8 USA then after 38 overs. Guna 6-0-18-2. 66 needed from 12 overs.

4:44 PM: Salman Ahmad joins Regis Burton. Kumar is the new bowler. Five runs from his over. End of 37 th over. USA are 126-7. Burton on 21. Ahmad just got in.

4:35PM: Siddiqui the new batsman in. GONE! Caught and bowled Guna for a duck. Maiden to add salt to the wound. Guna gets his first wicket. 75 runs needed and 14 overs remaining. USA 119-7.

Oh no! Sewdial gone run out! USA are 119-6 after 35 overs. Burton 13. Sewdial 41 run out. 4 fours and 1 six. Just as I was being told that Patel and Pathan were the tough bowlers and good that they only have 3 overs remaining.
