    Baseball would be much more interesting if they were allowed to bounce the pitches.

    Long review to confirm the catch. Need to defend 9 runs from 2 pitches now

    It’s got 1950 World Cup vibes. The US sent a group of amateurs to the WC and beat England.

    Having listened a lot to the BBC world service over the years, which reports on cricket matches, I think this upset is an Appalachian State over Michigan type of upset. Historically, Pakistan is one of the power houses.

    I believe that team also had a lot of foreign-born players.

    I've seen debate on Twitter as to whether Cricket or Baseball is more difficult. Something like this shows that the US would dominate if all our Baseball resources went into Cricket instead.
