Sahara Cup

[Sukhunwar]

Anyone planning to be at the Sahara Cup this year. I think we should
try to go as a group. It is more fun that way. Any body willing to organize
a get-together at the stadium. Lets cheer our Boys or may be Uncles to victory.

How Is That !

[Mr Fraudia]

Send me em tix guvner...

[Bhola]

I think this is a good idea, I have a Big Pakistani flag I can bring that. If enough people are interested i wouldn't mind planning it.
So if you are reading this and interested post a reply.

[Umar Talib]

I am definitely coming. My friends from the U.S. are coming over for the matches and yeah, a group sounds good!

[BITTERSWEET]

Please count me in as well!!

[Bhola]

Hey looks like we are getting a good response to this. Well we will have to decide when to go, I will prefer the early games ( my univ. opens on 15 ). May be we can get a good deal if we buy lot of tickets.

IS THE SAHARA CUP GOING TO BE SHOWN ON TSN THIS YEAR. I HOPE SO BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE IT LAST YEAR BUT IT WASN'T SHOWN!! COULD SOMEONE TELL ME IF IT'S GOING TO BE SHOWN THIS YEAR OR NOT.

[Naseer]

I hate to desturb you folks again but I NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE SHOWN ON T.V. THIS YEAR. LIKE WHICH STATIONS IN CANADA LIKE TSN OR MAYBE AN AMERICAN STATION LIKE ESPN, will they show the matches?

[Bhola]

Naseer I don't know if TSN will show it or not but don't count on it. They showed it the first year but not last year. TSN normally has a very busy schedule so it's hard for them to fit cricket games in it. But you can keep your fingers crossed.
But if you have Satelite Dish then you can watch the games.
