Week 4 Wrap

Yet another truncated week (especially in Div1) in our season, in the last week before the Memorial Day Break. Still, some good performances across the league in all divisions - and even a full-schedule played in the 30/30, despite the weather!
 
We try to cover most of it once again, in Edition Four of our weekly video magazine, the Midwest Wrap - with the usual news, views and interviews as well as Top Performer Awards for the week in every division. In addition, this week, a chat with the infamous blogger Romeen (aka Romeo of the Wild Performers), the two centurions from Evanston in Div2 (plus their captain), as well as with some of the U19 kids (Fahad, Moin and Akhil) who were headed up to New York to represent our region at the U19 nationals over Memorial Day weekend - good luck to them!

Week 3 Wrap

This time we *did* have a somewhat extensive week - the first such in this rain-affected season to date - with only 2 games eventually unable to be played. Several terrific closely fought games in Division One (indicating the balance of this division once again), a few dominant wins and early statements made by some teams in Division Two, and a few first-looks at new teams in the 30/30 (along with some great performances from the youngsters of the Midwest Cricket Academy). Along with some very good individual performances by players across the league.

We've tried to cover most of it (in our earnest if amateurish fashion) this week too, along with the usual couple of player-interviews, in the third weekly edition of our video-magazine the Midwest Wrap.

Midwest Cricket Wrap - Week 2

Not an extensive Week One to our season, as we all know. Still, as they say in our business, "Break a Leg". No, wait, thats not right (Iam still learning the new terminology obviously)... "The Show Must Go On"! Thats right, thats what they say!

So, without any further ado, let me present the Second Edition of our weekly video-magazine, The Midwest Wrap (this week, shockingly, including brief highlights! A rare happening - dont get used to it :-)
