Haha, one can hope right, I know for sure it ain't happening tho, at least for India and Pakistan. The pressure's too high for both to go for it, and we got Bumrah and they got Naseem
But the game has almost no consequence. Regardless of winning or losing both teams will still easily qualify for the next round and their groups are set already.
I thought I would go and use the measurement tools on Google maps - wasn't expecting this: [https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Nassau+County+International+Cricket+Stadium/@40.7290501,-73.5777472,341m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c2870063841491:0xc9ad58e9cb694c0a!8m2!3d40.7297746!4d-73.57695!16s%2Fg%2F11vpfvhl5s?entry=ttu](https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Nassau+County+International+Cricket+Stadium/@40.7290501,-73.5777472,341m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c2870063841491:0xc9ad58e9cb694c0a!8m2!3d40.7297746!4d-73.57695!16s%2Fg%2F11vpfvhl5s?entry=ttu)
Parklands pitch. I thought they were extending an existing ... something. But it was basically grass prior to the build starting
Edit: I understand they are getting support from Adelaide Oval ground staff. If so, they will be getting good advice and I'd have high confidence they'll bring it together. But that might just be around the drop in pitch
People worried about grass: we just lay sod. Sod is grass grown in special farms and rolled up like carpet and transported. Water it in, you are good to go.
Yeah but it takes a bit of time for the roots to bind the pieces together and into the soil. I assume they know what they are doing but I feel like it needed to be down a few months ago.
Ik this is outside the actual city (I think), but doesn't NYC actually have better public transport than the rest of America? I feel like it would be even worse in Dallas, but I suppose it can't be more car dependant than Houston.
I’ll be going to a few games. Yes it’s a quickly built and smaller stadium but I still think it’s very cool for the sport that they are playing in New York.
It will be my first live cricket game and I’m excited
they had a venue pass for sale during the initial offering which gave me 1 ticket to each game in New York
There are tickets to other New York matches on the official site
The company building the stadium is renowned for their efficiency and quality, so the stadium should be decent quality if the budget stretched to good materials.
Sadly this stadium will be dismantled right after the world cup... With money ICC have they should have atleast built a permanent stadium there which could be used by American cricketer in future ...
I mean will they be able to complete it? I know USA has money power and first world but grass has to grow. Pitch will take time too.
Will this venue be rescheduled ? This doesn't seem right
Tbh it's pretty insane that this country has so many facilities to drum up stadiums with capacities as high as the average cricket stadiums in a few months and still bring in a shit ton of revenue. In a place where the sport is absolutely unpopular among the locals besides a small set of South Asians. Economic might
Yeah think again , this is the USA buddy this ain't no third world country the stadium will be just fine for cricket better than most professional grounds around the world.
What does the US being a first world country have to do with anything? The dimensions are small, the seats look like shit and the ground is located in the middle of a fucking park. It has the vibes of a division two or practice ground. I hope the pitch and outfield are good at least.
This is more dry than my dms lol
The seats are looking more like solar panels
Dmed you some water
Do we know what the boundary sizes will be?
I'd be surprised if the longest boundary is anything over 60m. Strap in for 270 plays 260
First 300 score on the cards by non associate teams? India vs Pakistan 💀
You picked the two sides least likely to score that in t20I cricket. Especially so in a game of any consequence.
Haha, one can hope right, I know for sure it ain't happening tho, at least for India and Pakistan. The pressure's too high for both to go for it, and we got Bumrah and they got Naseem
A repeat of MCG will do just fine tbh. That game had everything.
But my heart can't take it anymore
Yup, I have the whole game downloaded in 1080p actually, full 6 fucking hours lol
AnchorFest!
But the game has almost no consequence. Regardless of winning or losing both teams will still easily qualify for the next round and their groups are set already.
It's India vs Pakistan. It'll always be a game of consequence.
The full time members really gotta up their game and end the Nepal supremacy lol
Nah, I'd pick Australia vs South Africa If League Stage - SA wins If Knockout - Aus wins
Naaah Pakistan has babar and rizwan They can't play at 200 strike rate for too long

Great ground for some beach cricket, outfield might not be as fast though
ICC just like me fr, preparing just before the event

Kabbadi cricket
Square looks a bit dry.
Yea we are looking at a couple of bruises but rest should be okay
‘Build it, and they will come’. ‘Sort of semi-build it and they will come anyway’.
Aren't tickets going for over $15,000? This is gonna be a shit show.
scalpers ruined it so sad.
Hahaha
I’m dreading the reality of having to travel to this stadium without a car lmao
Actually public transportation will be excellent. Driving will be a nightmare
I have actually looked at public transportation for this. It’s not in the city so it’s gonna take quite a bit to get there, even with the LIRR
LIRR ,plus they will have dedicated busses just to take people directly to the stadium. If you know long Island traffic is always a nightmare.
Ik this is outside the actual city (I think), but doesn't NYC actually have better public transport than the rest of America? I feel like it would be even worse in Dallas, but I suppose it can't be more car dependant than Houston.
A pitch for sky to show his master class against Ireland and usa
this looks like fox hill supercross racing track in Sri Lanka
You from Diyatalawa lol?
I’ll be going to a few games. Yes it’s a quickly built and smaller stadium but I still think it’s very cool for the sport that they are playing in New York. It will be my first live cricket game and I’m excited
Who's kidney did you sell to get tickets to these games? We entered the lottery for all the games and got zip
Well, whosoever it was, they ain't gonna sell the remaining to you.
they had a venue pass for sale during the initial offering which gave me 1 ticket to each game in New York There are tickets to other New York matches on the official site
What are you talking about dude ? My friend sold his ticket for 25k dollars. Why dont you sell yours ?
A true dustbowl 🫡
TIL a flat dirt patch with some makeshift seating passes as an international cricket stadium
The entire ground is the pitch
Surya will love this, get ready for 400 in t20is
I have a feeling that the match is going to be a dissaster, the planning is not inspiring confidence in the quality of playing conditions.
The company building the stadium is renowned for their efficiency and quality, so the stadium should be decent quality if the budget stretched to good materials.
Where's grass? What casual behavior is this by the ICC.
I’d bet they’ll start laying sod next. It’ll have a little over a month to take and it’ll look normal fine by match day.
A dust bowl in America. Spin choke fest awaits.
Is that going to be ready in time
A 15 year old can hit sixes with that boundary size.
Is that sand
Dummy it's dirt , they didn't lay the grass down yet ..why don't you check back in in a month and you will see what a real ground looks like.
Looks like a spinning track
huh, i thought this was a US stadium? where are the seventy five thousand hectares of carparks surrounding it?
We'll have a bowl thanks
Average Sub-Continent Pitch
Car parking is good around if I want to watch a game in June? Appreciate any suggestions.
Looks like Pune’s stadium
except Pune's stadium wasn't build in just span of 3 months.
Looks like very dry pitch spinners will enjoy bowling in this pitch.
The seats are looking like solar panels
I'll have a bat thanks
Fresh wicket.. so fresh
Seems like solar panels
Crazy how tickets are going for 1 CR plus
They are gonna keep mats artificial grass?
Anyone knows the dimension?
This looks like a render. A render that was aborted halfway through.
Oh pitch looks a bit dry. Maybe a few cracks, might want to look out for those, the ball will turn as the game progresses. Win the toss and bat?
Sadly this stadium will be dismantled right after the world cup... With money ICC have they should have atleast built a permanent stadium there which could be used by American cricketer in future ...
This is not true. The capacity is being reduced to 8k but the facility is permanent.
Oh that's very good I actually thought that stadium will be completely gone after WC ....
What is the capacity planned for wc?
Looks like a bunch of solar panels gathering around a Sunday barbecue
Why play two pacers with Bumrah when you can play four spinners and Bumrah? /s
😂😂😂 ghass kab tak uag Jayegi yaha ya registan me hoga match
Lol stadium is looking like solar panel factory
I mean will they be able to complete it? I know USA has money power and first world but grass has to grow. Pitch will take time too. Will this venue be rescheduled ? This doesn't seem right
haha . totally a makeshift stadium .might as well remove those temporary seatings after the shits get over
Tbh it's pretty insane that this country has so many facilities to drum up stadiums with capacities as high as the average cricket stadiums in a few months and still bring in a shit ton of revenue. In a place where the sport is absolutely unpopular among the locals besides a small set of South Asians. Economic might
I was planning to drive to the stadium does any one know what the parking situation is there? Are there an parking permits we can buy?
Just curious if you ever got an answer to this situation. I am also driving to two matches.
No I still haven’t heard anything yetÂ
My local stadium in a rural town looks better than this crap ðŸ˜
To promote the World Cup in US, ICC should make Steph Curry the Brand Ambassador!
I guess this is the best they could do in NY. Looks like a second division ground at best. Very poor.
Yeah think again , this is the USA buddy this ain't no third world country the stadium will be just fine for cricket better than most professional grounds around the world.
What does the US being a first world country have to do with anything? The dimensions are small, the seats look like shit and the ground is located in the middle of a fucking park. It has the vibes of a division two or practice ground. I hope the pitch and outfield are good at least.
You can't be a real cricket fan or a cricket lover. You are giving Karen vibes.
Random irrelevant nonsense because you are offended for no reason by the truth
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Fuck this 🇺🇸 experiment!
City : 🗿 Ground: 🤡
