Oh no not again, come on Bermuda you are not going to get any comments. Please start losing again so I can get a good laugh out of the fools who write the rubbish when you get defeated. Oh, can anyone tell me when a sports team last beat USA?
Great result but comparing the US cricket team to their football team or track is apples and oranges..Rugby yes …
A sports team from Bermuda beat USA..???
Today and the time before they met. Bermuda has won 2 in a row against USA, not bad, 50,000 nationals vs 300m.
Well done guys!
Well done fellas, keep it going!!
And there is no disgrace in missing out on qualification to that well known cricketing superpower called Nepal – Is there?
Well done guys.
YO BERMY YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE A BERMUDIAN I SAY KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB YOU ARE DOING KEEP UP THE CONFEDENCE YOU GUYS YOU GUYS WILL GO FAR ALSO REMEMBER THOUGH WE ARE JUST A SMALL ISLAND AGAINST THOSE GIANT THAT PLAY WE CAN SHOW THAT WE ARE ON THEIR TRAIL KEEP IT UP GUYS I AM BEHIND YOU 100% GOOD LUCK TODAY YOU CAN DO IT JUST BE POSITIVE
Well done Bermuda, USA is the pick of the World and you guys performed very well, They have Indians, Caribbeans, Maybe 1 American with 500 million to choose from, we have about 120 players to make a team from… Great job lads !!!!!!!!!!
We always only had about 120 players to pick from but that never stopped us when we had Coe Trott, Clarence Parfitt! Sad Brown, Randy Horton! Lloyd James, El James and others! There is no excuse other than the 11 we pick to play are just not good enough right now! It’s not their fault however as the quality of cricket is horrible! Look at Bangledash! They are getting better faster than anybody thought they could because they are continually playing against top opposition! If you get our players good opposition from overseas you will see big improvement from our players! They did great yesterday and I believe that this 11players can go far if we get them out of the island to play against quality more often!
