I think there’s a whole lot of truth in regards to player commitment. It would seem that there’s a fair few of the current national squad players who need to be dismissed permanently.

Fire the lot of them- do we really need a team we can’t train because they are not committed?- what a stupid move to let Douglas go.

We could be expecting to much from a team that neither the guts and heart to truly play good Cricket
in the first place.— young bye’s today simply don’t have what it takes — there to spoilt!
Unfortunatly were blaming the individual who wasnt even playing – how about firing some of the players.
Were still trying to get Ten Thousands Dollars worth out of a Twenty Dollar Bill.

Douglas took over at the last minute and he is held accountable for the team’s performance? I respectfully suggest that his comments on the state of cricket and the national team after the tour is why he was removed.

Keep your head up Mr. Douglas. We still love you in the East!

There’s an old saying, players win and coaches lose.
What about the fact that some of the players, from multiple reports, spent nights out the night before a game, arguing with the coaches, late for shuttle to the game/practice, refused to play the game, played outside of their role?
I think there are a number of things that went (and continue) to go on while BDA teams are on tour. Granted, Mr. Douglas probably didn’t lead the team to perform at their best, BUT what about the players? Will they ever be held responsible for their role while representing the country? Or will they be told how they conducted themselves is OK? Mr Douglas was kicked off the board all together…OK, will these same players represent Bermuda again and continue to have their same attitude? #doublestandards

as a coach, no doubt he failed to get the team to perform to standard. But for him to get kicked off the Board itself, well that must speak to something even more egregious.
