We recap the third week of the USA's Major League Cricket (MLC) season, where the teams played in a new cricket-focused stadium in Pomona, near Los Angeles, California. We discuss matches between the LA Knight Riders, Washington Freedom, SF Unicorns, Texas Super Kings, MI NY, and Seattle Orcas, and rank the teams' batting and bowling lineups. Plus, Saurabh Netravalkar has a great week, Sunil Narine is a monster, Steve Smith puts his test batting skills to good use, Lhuan'dre Pretorius is a one-man show, and Ravichandran Ashwin continues to be a no-show... but apparently he's joined the San Francisco AI boom. We finish by covering a rumored MLC expansion to Chicago and Toronto.
