Malasia …wow from 10 million dollar men to Division 5 not sure whats next but time to stop spending money on sending a team abroad
who is in charge of development ………
Why doesnt the general public realize that the ICC is funding most of the tournament expenses?
Because if they accept that fact then they have no argument.
Time to stop throwing money away it is past time to be diverting money from the bunch of losers that Bermuda cricket is to sports that are producing winners. It is also time to spend some of it on female sports
And which other team sport is producing winners? Or even close to producing winners.
