this is so embarrassing: Bermuda who has played cricket all her life loses to the United States – the land of baseball and apple pie among other things, the least of which is cricket.
Wait, does the USA even have a cricket team? I’ve never heard of it and I live in the US!!
USA ?!?! Serious guys? Time to pack it in.
Another Govt funded area to cut..
perhaps those cricket funds can be reallocated towards developing International Business, you know the industry that provides over 60% of this Island’s revenue…
now that a great return on a 11 million dollar “investment”
Here we go again,
Give it a break….
At this point, I’d prefer to not have an international cricket team at all.
They need to pack it up!! And put this funding toward some young people that have the potential to do better..perhaps gymnastics, track and field, something!
Absolute Trash!
i tell u, they must laugh at us everytime they see us come! n be like, oh this is an easy victory for us cause these bermy guys r dumb!!!!! pack it in you’re trash n give back de 11 mill our schools need it more!
Are all of you suggesting there be no youth cricket either?
