Cherry Cricket’s real estate in Cherry Creek has sold to a Denver developer with family ties to the restaurant’s leadership. Alpine Investments said in a statement Friday that it and a group of “primarily local investors” had purchased the restaurant’s property at the corner of 2nd Avenue and Clayton Street. Alpine paid $25.2 million, according to public records. The deal included two parcels, which in addition to Cherry Cricket are home to a tailor and Forget Me Not, a cocktail bar from restaurateur Juan Padro. The properties were sold by an affiliate of Seattle-based Unico Properties, which purchased them in 2015 for a combined $13.8 million from Breckenridge-Wynkoop LLC, Cherry Cricket’s parent company, records show. The restaurant group, whose other brands include LoDo’s Wynkoop Brewing Co. and the recently closed Ale House at Amato’s in LoHi, should have a good relationship with its new landlord. Alpine Investments is led by Churchill Bunn and David Pietsch III. Bunn … [Read more...] about Cherry Cricket property in Cherry Creek changes hands for $25M

(Reuters) - England completed a 3-0 drubbing of the Netherlands by winning the last match of their ODI series by eight wickets on Wednesday despite the absence of injured captain Eoin Morgan. The Dutch collapsed to 244 all out after an encouraging start to their innings and Jason Roy's unbeaten century helped England polish off their run chase with nearly 20 overs to spare. Roy struck 15 fours in his 101 -- his 10th ODI century -- and Jos Buttler also tucked into the Dutch attack, ending the match with a huge six into the trees to finish on 86 not out. Another enthusiastic crowd at the VRA Ground in Amstelveen had watched half centuries by Max O'Dowd (50), Bas de Leede (56) and Scott Edwards (64) help the Dutch reach 203-3. But David Willey took three wickets to mop up the tail having also removed opener Vikram Singh. Morgan, who scored ducks in the first two matches of the series, missed out with a groin problem. Buttler captained the side in his absence. (Reporting … [Read more...] about Cricket-Roy century as England crush Netherlands again

LEEDS, England (Reuters) -Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell again proved thorns in England's side as they helped New Zealand recover from a freakish stroke of misfortune to end the first day of the third and final test on 225 for five on Thursday. New Zealand struggled after electing to bat, with opener Tom Latham removed for a duck by Stuart Broad in the first over. When Henry Nicholls fell in bizarre fashion just before tea, New Zealand were tottering on 123-5, but Mitchell and Blundell led the fightback with an unbroken century stand. Nicholls, who scratched around for 19 off 99 balls, launched a drive off the bowling off left-arm spinner Jack Leach, only to see the ball strike Mitchell's bat at the non striker's end and ricochet into the hands of Alex Lees at mid-off. Leach could hardly believe what had happened as he celebrated his second wicket having trapped opener Will Young lbw for 20 with his first ball of the day. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, back after … [Read more...] about Cricket-Mitchell and Blundell lead New Zealand fightback

(Reuters) - Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler have dismissed concerns over Eoin Morgan's form and backed England's "phenomenal" limited-overs captain to get back to his best. England completed a 3-0 drubbing of the Netherlands with an eight-wicket win in the last match of their One-Day International (ODI) series on Wednesday. Morgan, who scored ducks in the first two matches of the series, missed out with a groin problem. The 35-year-old has not scored a T20 or ODI half century in almost a year and his form has raised questions ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year as well as England's defence of their 50-overs title in 2023. "Well, he's only had two low scores so I wouldn't say he's going through a hard time at the moment," England test captain Stokes told reporters. "I think the press are the only ones giving him a hard time and I think the players have shown it's not an issue with them. "People are allowed to not score many runs and more than that he's our captain. … [Read more...] about Cricket-England’s Stokes, Buttler back Morgan to rediscover form

NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) -New Zealand built a lead of 238 with three second innings wickets remaining on Monday heading into a delicately poised final day of the second test against England. Two run outs and some poor shot selection from the tourists saw them slip to 224 for seven by the close and gave England a glimmer of hope that they can dismiss the Kiwis quickly on Tuesday and then take on the target. All outcomes remain possible although a draw seems the most likely outcome and the main source of encouragement for New Zealand is that in-form Daryl Mitchell is unbeaten on 32 and will resume looking to put up a score beyond England's reach. Mitchell scored 190 in the first innings to follow up his ton at Lords in the first test defeat and he looked comfortable on what remains a decent batting surface. "If we can get to somewhere around 280 - maybe 300 is a bit greedy - that would be good for us," said New Zealand batsman Devon Conway. "If we can then get the ball in … [Read more...] about Cricket-New Zealand throw away wickets to give England hope

Eyeing a series-clinching victory, the Indian women's cricket team would expect a better showing from its top-order when it takes on Sri Lanka in the second T20 International, on Saturday. The Indians made a positive start to the limited-overs tour of the Island nation with a 34-run win in the series-opener on Thursday. The team would not only aim to secure the three-match series but also address the grey areas and continue the winning momentum ahead of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, where women's cricket will make its debut in the T20 format. The Birmingham Games will be held from July 28 to August 8. In the series opener, the Indians managed a modest 138 for six after opting to bat before the bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Radha Yadav, chocked the Lankan batters. But India's batting show left a lot to be desired in the first game. The likes of Shafali Verma, who made a run-a-ball 31, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (22) and Richa Ghosh (11) all got starts but could not convert … [Read more...] about India eye improved top-order show in 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka
