Winter 2011-2012

Welcome to the our website, the virtual home for the Mad Dogs Cricket Club.  If you are interested in playing for, or against us, contact the Mad Dogs here.

Winter is here: The Dogs will have a monthly get together, as well as some nets at Indoor Cricket USA in Morristown NJ. We have our annual January trip to Sarasota FL.

We are also planning a tour to the UK in the summer of 2012.

Summer of 2011 was memorable for our first venture into a USACA league - the Southern Connecticut League) combining with the Norwalk Cricket Club. While we failed to make the playoffs, we did win the World Series League, beating Staten Island in the final.

The team played 40 plus games, sometimes putting out 4 sides on a weekend. And we now have a roster of around 100 players allowing everyone to get as much cricket as they want.

• Winter 2010-11 was one of our busiest.
• We went to the Sarasota Sixes going 4-2
  
• Played a lot of cricket at the new nets on Westbury, NY - American Indoor Cricket
  
• And in March we played 5 games in Sri Lanka on our first tour there..

Who are the Mad Dogs? 

Immigrants have come to the Americas for three centuries looking for freedom and opportunity. Some also arrive and look for cricket... at face value a tough ask in the home of baseball. But there is plenty of the most interesting cricket in the US, and New York in particular. And our team is just one of hundreds of teams playing each weekend of the summer every year.

The Maddogs are a multi-ethnic team playing both social and league cricket in and around New York.  We annually participate in the Philadelpha Cricket Festival, and have toured Charlotte NC, Sarasota FL, Toronto, Nevis, Grenada and Buenos Aires in recent years.

The Dogs also coordinate the New York Ashes - an annual summer event for the local Brits and Aussies in New York.

We are based in Greenwich CT, but have players from Greenwich, Stamford, Westchester, Manhattan and even New Jersey turning out in the Blue and Gold on a regular basis.
