šŸ› Introduction for new member (Hav's Playground)

It was definitely a big deal. I prefer the football, but it was summer and I got into it the best I could because the EPL was done.

I have a replica version of the ashes cup on my mantle… the ashes is the best.

Apparently there’s a plan to renovate the baseball stadium at GMU to make it cricket compatible so it’ll be the home field of the DC Major League Cricket franchise. Before reading about this as part of a community development hearing, I’d never even heard of Major League Cricket. I guess there is quite a large South Asian population in this area that could be the foundation of a possible fanbase.

We need a professional league in order to petition the International Cricket Council (ICC) to become a Full Member and authorized Test Cricket nation… currently we are only an associate member allowed to play One Day Internationals (ODIs) & 20/20 cricket on an International scale.

The joke about a cricket match taking 5-days… well the US is not authorized to play in those 5-day matches currently.

That was a collection of words that I knew, but made no sense to me in the sequence they were written.

I’ll be honest… if I hadn’t lived in England for over 3-years and played Cricket with the pub I frequented, I wouldn’t have any idea what I was talking about either.

Years ago we shared a rugby pitch with that or another version of that club out st Rosecroft Raceway. It was the only place large enough to fit them

You can get really granular on putting your name on stuff inside of it (if you’ve got the cash):

If it means they can demo the Aquatic center I am all for it.

I’m willing to soften my stance if they allow the rugby program access to the center and bring me on as a FT consultant.

Would be nice if they had some sort of sponsoring opportunity for like 500. Like a brick on a path or wall. Price of entry right now is 10 grand for a locker.

Actually a great idea. Could do something like $1,000 gets you listed on a plaque on the wall similar to the donors wall in JPJ. No clue what the price of admission to that one was but a lower price point to celebrate all donors would be cool.

No worries! I hope you weren’t frustrated with any of the officiating… I’ll keep the specific game anonymous. :slight_smile:

Congrats to your son on the Championship!
