IT COME TO LIVE GUYS...................................
Will the pitch be upto the standards? (floodlights weren't which forced 1st night game to be scrapped). How will cricketers field on baseball turf? and, most importantly, will someone come to watch the first two international cricket matches in USA even though it's weekend?
Wouldn't it have been a better idea to play a major team like India in such a series as they have lot more fan following?
