MINY 154/9 (20 ov)

and damn it's hot.
 
See faf got the first 100 of the season. Marco smacked around again.
Yeah, he got smacked silly.

Still, Washington would have won if they'd managed another over before the rains came. Forecast doesn't look good for the rest of the week in North Carolina.
 
Match abandoned but we might get one in tomorrow if it doesn’t rain again overnight.

Got to love Texas - while heading back to where we're staying after a match we saw this gem.

Stating the obvious - but then Texas, is known for not always having the brightest folks, but hey, they are not the only ones.
As a New Yorker I'm keenly aware that the citizenry of pretty much everywhere else operate just a little sub-optimally, so I'm happy to make allowances. ;)
 
That’s a wrap for season 2.

Head, Rabada, Miller not retained ahead of MLC 2025 draft​

The six Major League Cricket franchises named their retentions ahead of the draft on February 19

Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Kagiso Rabada and David Miller were among the big names missing as Major League Cricket franchises named their retentions ahead of the draft for the next season on February 19.

Defending champions Washington Freedom retained 15 players, the most across all teams, but let go of Head, who was their joint-highest scorer last year alongside captain Steven Smith. Akeal Hosein and Andrew Tye were the other overseas players released by Freedom.

San Francisco Unicorns, runners-up in 2024, also kept a majority of their core intact, including their hard-hitting opening pair of Finn Allen and Jake Fraser-McGurk, but parted ways with Cummins, Matt Henry and Josh Inglis among others.

Seattle Orcas, having retained just seven players - the fewest among the six teams, will go through the biggest squad revamp. They retained just two overseas players - the South African duo of Heinrich Klaasen and Ryan Rickelton, the latter has had a successful run in international cricket since the last MLC season. Among their seven overseas players released were Quinton de Kock, Michael Bracewell, Obed McCoy and Nandre Burger.
