Personally , its about time we beat Canada. We are like the whipping boys here lately, even though its a warm up I still think its a result worth mentioning because if we apply ourselves and play the way cricket is supposed to be played we can beat all them damn teams, Now we need Tit, Hemp and the rest to sit up and play cricket. Nice job BDA!!!!!!!
Looks like all the football/cricketers have made runs!! Just saying
Well done guys!!!Nice to see us keeping the extras down. Keep up the good work, it pays off!!!!!
Lionel hasn’t been doing anything for the last couple of years! Must be nice to be able to travel on what you used to do!!!
Is that different from travelling never having done, because there are a few that fit that. A bit unfair to call out a player when we continue to wait for potential players to show up. I agree some senior players need to discover form, but we using players that never had any and we still waiting for them.
See; I did that without calling names.
Best check the seasons stats! A lot of these players actually deserve their spots……….. And what are we waiting for! Surely not for the juniors to learn from our Seniors! I would make sure my son doesn’t watch them! Unless someone in going to show them videos of Clay Smith in his prime or Colin Blades! Surely the young players we are waiting for can score more than the 5 or 6 runs the Seniors are scoring!
And for the record! I love watching the boy Fray bat but he is not a T20 player! Needs time and is an excellent accumulator of runs!
It amazes me that people talk without the facts! In April 2013, Lionel Cann saved Bermuda from going to divison 4 by scoring 113 against Italy in Bermuda. He also scored the most runs for Bermuda in that tournament! So Ruthless get your facts straight and stop HATING!
FACT
For the record that was Bermudas last cricket tournament!
