There has been a franchise Canadian T20 already. Some of the usual players turned up there too. I don’t think it survived for long.
And Canada have previously competed at the ODI World Cup.

That is true but if you compare them with other big Commonwealth (or former) nations, Canada have never matured into a major force globally.
rf_fozzy, I am inclined to agree that it is poor cricket on a plastic strip at venues which make English club cricket grounds seem world class. Unfortunately, the ECL is a recognised event with developing umpires.

Ditto rugby. I wonder how much of that is because there is some influence from American sports and baseball and gridiron are respectively more prevalent.

Lucky Essex with the rain interruption and DL method applying, but I’ll take that. Not sure we’d have won chasing the 20 over score.

I'm not sure at all. We made that altogether harder than we should have.

I think Essex have chased [at least] the last three targets - all going down to the final over.
If it wasn't for the weather, the next match should be a high scoring one. Not sure how many overs it will be as it should have started nearly 20 minutes ago.
