See my post. Tickets on sale 4/8 at CPLT20.com. I'll buy you a Red Stripe (or whatever is on tap at the match).

Come watch these badasses live in Broward County, Florida this July when they play for their Caribbean Premier League teams. Tickets are on sale 4/8 at CPLT20.com. I'm not a paid spokesman (I wish), just a fan. I'll be traveling there from Houston to watch a couple of these games.

Born and raised in the southeastern US but somehow got into cricket when my work had me frequently in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The T20 form of the game is my favorite and I was thrilled with the outcome of the world final, especially the 4 sixes in a row on the last over. There’s a rumor that the West…

Perhaps 'big problem' is too strong, but there's definitely something about the sport that seems to affect a number of players, maybe the term depression is just a catchall when it could be a number of other mental health issues.

I don't think it was the sledging that got to Trott, maybe there was more going on with him personally. But it does highlight the big problem with depression in cricket. And by all accounts, the English give as good as they get. I do think it's good that he came out and admitted that he needed to address some issues…

In the States, that part of the body is what cracks the box.
