Well done hemp. Lol. Im sure no young bermudian could do as good as you. Excelent job douglas and manders.
So you take T. Fray to a T20 tournament to bat him at number nine. that’s just waste of a player as he don’t bowl and he is not an explosive batsman… No plan in picking this team…
I agree and it’s not the first time they have done this. It appears for some reason certain players have to be on the team sheet even if it makes the team unbalanced.
Funny as I now can say it, they bat him in his right position for match two, so why this?
Planning was in picking the team but coach in charge on the day you are correct though.
Arnold manders and allan Douglas picked this team. I guess no players from the undefeated champions was good enough to make it
How embarrassing it’s this. Lose a game to a country that doesn’t even know how to spell cricket. That’s sad Bermuda. In one word you SUCK.
The selectors and Administration need to wake up! Lets be honest and real. I don’t have a problem picking the Janairo’s,David Hemp’s and tit Can’s. My problem is I would pick them if I was a selector if I thought we had any chance competing not to mention winning it!!!!!! We all know that’s not going to happen. I’ll be shocked if Bermuda win any games. So lets lose with a young side; than lose with a geriatric team and players that just magically appeared after having a ordinary season in a ordinary league. Not would a much younger team perform better than that team but probably get some exposure to Scots and do some networking and interacting with players world wide to build a future in their years to come. The people(public) want it, as well as the real and honest players. Like I said before I could pick a team that will beat Bermuda easily! Wake Up bcb!!!!
