Holy fucking shit. The US Cricket team just beat Pakistan. To put that in perspective, it would be like the Pakistan National Cricket team beating the Lakers. In basketball.

I literally did not know the US even had a cricket team capable of meeting Pakistan. I know World Cups get a lot of very obscure teams, but still, wow.

A cursory look at some of the names tells me that the team is probably mostly Indian immigrants, IOW people who have been serious cricket players all their lives. This is not a team of rich white dilettantes. So, it's shocking, but maybe not as shocking as you might think.
