The headline is questionable; If it read “After Three Victories, Bermuda’s Cricket Team lose making them 3 and 1 during this tour”
Positive rather than appearing to be negative “Bermuda loses fourth” for a brief moment i thought it was the royal rag
But that said i commend you and your team for the excellent reporting that you offer the world
Thanks, good point. I hadn’t read it that way, meant it as the “4th” game as such, but in hindsight it clearly does not read well. Have edited to reflect, thanks for the note…
