It is a big day for USA Cricket as I get my first win and against a higher level team to boot. Hong Kong tried 7 bowlers, but could not get Taylor out as we only needed 3 batters and 17 overs to take it, with Massiah walloping a six in the last over to bring it home. Just as impressive was Timroy Allen, how was like the Cricket version of Mariano Rivera, closing Hong Kong out an over early with 3 wickets in 2 overs!! Hopefully we carry some momentum into our first unlimited overs match with Germany before we open the division 3 campaign. I feel this teams game translates well to the 2 innings, 5 day unlimited format, so it should be a great match.
