The ICC has badly messed up the seating at the New York stadium and made fans like me angry. My friends and I bought the premium tickets for the Sri Lanka vs South Africa game and for the India vs Ireland game at the ICC auction which showed premium ticket holders would be seated closer to the ground compared to the standard ticket holders. When the tickets were issued later we were surprised to see that our premium seats were much farther out compared to the standard ticket seats. It looks like ICC did a "bait and switch" and made premium ticket holders like me very angry and unhappy. At a minimum ICC should have communicated this change of seating and give the customer a refund if they did not like the new premium seating arrangement. BBC should investigate this issue and bring it to ICC's attention. ICC needs to issue a refund to premium ticket holders like us for the price difference. We will continue to push to get this resolved.
It's a good start that has been long overdue to have an International Cricket series being played in New York, USA. Glad that I was able to be part of this historic event and be able to witness the play between the Team Sri Lanka vs Team South Africa on Monday 3, 2024 live at the Nassau International Cricket Stadium. The ICC T20 event in USA has helped to popularize the sport among many Americans who have never watched a game of Cricket before the ICC T20 games that are happening in America and also that Team USA won matches during this tournament in USA also will give the sport in America..
T20 Cricket is the perfect sport for America. 2.5-3 hours per game. Plenty of natural breaks in the game for advertising and a lot more entertaining than baseball. Amazed it hasn't taken off before now.
There is serious baseball talent in America terms of hitting power, fielding skills and pitching speed. There are guys that can hit 80-90 mph pitching speeds in club baseball. They are impossible to hit. Working with the MLB to get players on loan would be a fantastic step.
What a joke 🤣🤣 Baseball players Hit only Full Toss Balls.. Hitting Full Toss Balls are Easy and Hitting a Swing, Seam, Spin is way Different and Difficult.. Other thing is Baseball players Catch a Ball with a glove which is easy while Cricket players catch with Bare Hands (excluding WK) and there is no such thing as reading Pitch in a Baseball match, while in Cricket PITCH plays plays an important role and only a Technical, Smart and Talented batter can play in every type of Pitch..

It's a bit different from pitching. In baseball you throw the ball but in cricket you have to do it with a straight arm. It might look a bit similar but overall there are a variety of technicalities that make both the games like fire and ice
@@Dawood.Pervez Thanks for statement that is backed by nothing. You do not quote source nor gave any sort of stat. The only reason Cricket maybe considered more popular is because it is played by India, which has a billion people. There are only 12 testing play country that play cricket. But you look at how many countries play basketball, there are 212 national federations and it an olympic sport.
ICC should have broadcasted and aggressively promoted these games live on RUclips ( in US region) . It would go long way in making cricket on the map in the US. I feel they missed big time
The US-Pakistan got my son and I (Americans with no cricket experience) intrigued so we drove 18 hours to Florida for US-Ireland. Despite a 5 hours window of glorious sun between rain, there seemed to be zero interest in actually playing cricket. Three hours after the scheduled start it started raining again and the match was cancelled. To an American who is used to baseball games restarting minutes after the rain stops, this was frustrating. They had us hooked. All they had to do was actually play cricket. If that is how cricket values its fans (and curious Americans) screw it. There are plenty of sports to follow that play when the sun shines.
The pitch is completely the responsibility of the ICC. The US had nothing to with it development or maintenance. In fact, it is a drop in pitch from Australia.
Yes, Prasar Bharti Corporation has agreements with BBC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation for this show. Charu Sharma usually is Prasar Bharati nominee for this show.
New York is not the "Home of International Cricket". Watch your words before you speak. Lords in London is the Home of Cricket. Any big organisation wants to create their own definition now. The first match might have happened their but New York is nowhere near the glory that cities like London, Melbourne, Mumbai , Kolkata, Sydney, Auckland have brought to this game. Great Video though. Enjoyed it.
Times square didn't know anything about cricket .....Manhattan 1984 ,? Sorry for the sweet little voice loved it bt on the other hand sorry. .. .nothing
Aww that dad getting so emotional to share cricket with his kid ❤
Cricket is the greatest most entertaining sport in the world ❤🏏

In cricket, premium tickets basically means best pov in stadium.
I have also heard that tickets are way overpriced.

That's totally screwed up...
Peter della Penna is very passionate for cricket development in USA.
I read his tweet on x
Yess ❤
Broo you are a Twitter guy right?im William
30 million dollars to build the stadium, but just one game is going to bring 86 million dollars to organizers. That's India Vs Pakistan.
1000% right 👍🏿

Sometimes Cricket become more interesting than Soccer
As a Limey, I prefer baseball! Damn fascinating that cricket is slowly inching forwards in the USA nonetheless! 😁
Welcome cricket as second Most popular sports in world

Why waste so much screen space?
Is the world cup on free to view over there?
yes
No it is on Willow TV which most people don’t have
@@sakenu16 ICC greedy, how are they expecting any interest, cocks! Thanks lad!
Nobody looks down on cricket played in USA. 90% of amateur cricket played around the world are played on back alleys not grounds
2:30 what was that 😅😂😂
bit of comic relief after dad's emotional moment
Americans don’t care about cricket. This event and that pitch in NY is shambolic! Should’ve stuck to West Indies
This is why they introduced cricket to us
its more crowd in usa though than your west indieeeeees
The pitch is completely the responsibility of the ICC. The US had nothing to with it development or maintenance. In fact, it is a drop in pitch from Australia.
Congratulation USA🇺🇸🇮🇳
USA beat Pakistan, go USA Cricket!
British should be grateful to india for this
Did I hear it right? They said Aakashvani?

No, No one cares about cricket in America. It’s long way to go. Soccer never got a chance after 40 years. It still struggles.
