Last year American Cricketer saw many exiting events around the world. What a year 2007 was
with the World Cup Cricket held in nine countries in the West Indies simultaneously, Bob Woolmer coach of the Pakistan Team’s death, and an upset by Bangladesh and Ireland on two of the big eight teams India and Pakistan.
The ICC World Cup 2007 has boosted the Caribbean Islands and its people around the world.
Upon us is Stanford 20/20 in Antigua, where the rivalry will be keen since Trinidad felt cheated out of $1M purse to Guyana. According to the article by Rhonda Kelley with 19, entrants the competition will be intense in a few weeks.

American Cricketer was in southern California for Vintage Cricket Carnival, which was fun time for cricketers 40 years and older.
In sunny Florida, where cricket is played 52 weeks in the year, Broward County held its grand opening of the multipurpose
cricket stadium in Lauderhill.
In our next issue we’ll be reporting on our tour to Papeete, Tahiti, the Golden Oldies Festival in Queenstown, New Zealand and cricket in New York.

We are thrilled to begin our 3rd year of publication in 2008. We wish to thank our readers, writers, advertisers and supporters for their constant encouragement. Thank you for the reminder that we are producing a product and service of value to the cricketing community and the community at-large.
We have several new writers in this issue that have joined the American Cricketer family and you will hear from them in each issue. David Sentance will provide updates from California and an historical prospective of cricket in America. KC Rao came out of “cricket publishing” retirement
to add his knowledge and love of the sport to our family.
