Upset alert: USA beats Pakistan (Cricket World Cup)

H1B visas get the goods

 

You are allowed too. But you will walk a lot of guys!

 

My 4 year old son is obsessed with sports. We watch anything that's on the TV basically. We put on cricket the other day and he asked me who was winning and what all the numbers were on the bottom.... Zero clue

 

I learned about rugby this way. My sports loving son started watching it at like 6 yrs old. We learned a bit together. He outgrew it and is a good ol' fashioned American (major pro/college sports) 13 year old now.

 

Thanks @obgator for this thread, it was fun, and I'm glad it worked out. You would have been gutted if you jinxed it haha.

 

The nepotism in the south Asian sports federations makes this a place where we could compete without a ton of effort. Maybe not win titles but be internationally competitive.
A friend of mine was on the one of the regional junior teams in India. He was possibly national team material, but told me his road stopped there becuase the regional sports director for Karnataka put his son up to the next level ahead of him, and stuff like that was common.
I did get to walk down on the pitch in Bangalore with him though, which was kind of cool.

 

Yeah, it's a massive upset of a traditional powerhouse cricket team by USA.
But, is the USA cricket team hotter than the Swedish Soccer team? That's really the bar here.

 

The USA cricket site has crashed.

 

SUCK IT PAKISTAN!!!!

 

We have a cricket team?

 

Its like how Jamaica had a bobsled team

 

Does the Oracle engineer on the team have to fix it?

 

Can’t wait for the movie. I read this thread hours after and didn’t understand half of it, but was riveted by obgator’s nonsensical updates.

 

Amazing, if I were asked to draw a cricket player — or a Software Engineer — I would have drawn that guy.

 

I have a team of software engineers from India. They were giving me play by play, percentage odds etc. as the match wound down. They were all rooting for the US because they hate Pakistan, plus there are a bunch of Indian expats on our team.

 

Bollywood is casting lead actors as we speak. I’m sure India is loving this.
