We really have to get Cricket at the schools and Clubs going again for young players^^
It is the national sport bodies and clubs that should be shouldering primary reponsibility for the development of their sports, not the school curriculums.
Is there a pee wee league this $10m team can play in?
Why must we the taxpayer be forced to continue to support the funding for this losing cause ? To me it is a paid vacation to see the world. ” Money Spent Money Wasted”.
They are still competing, that was a close game.
