World Cup of cricket...

We rocked!

As MT would say:

We stumped you and threw googlies at your wicket.

Curval fails to mention the US team all consists of 5 yr olds with wiffle bats.

Ditto.

Yup, pretty much what I expected to read after posting that.

It is a really big deal in the rest of the world and a HUGE deal to this little island. But, you guys can only ridicule. Oh well.

You in Bermuda Curval?

I was born at Kindey AFB in 1964.

Left when I was 1.5 years old so have no memory of the place but my older sibblings loved it. Perhaps I will return one day.

LOL what response did you want Curval?

WTG Bermuda!

Cricket just isn't a game that is played over here, heck we didn't even invent it, so beating us at it isnt a big surprise. When I see a US Basketball team defeated by islanders, then I'll applaud.

EDIT: A wink should have been included in my post above.

Cool. You are almost Bermudian then...although the base was US property at that time.

If you do decide to come let me know...we can hook up for a few Swizzles.

RightFOOT...yea, I know, but a wtg would be nice...thanks.

Congrats, Bermuda! Congrats for taking a piss and not wetting the toilet seat, too, while we are at it......

You think you got ridiculed? you should see what happens to any American kid here who even mentions that he might like to play cricket!

I play "cricket".
It`s hard to get the l`il squirmy rascals on such a small hook, but once you do Mr. Bream will surely fall for it.

WTG Bermuda.

No problem. Your team will not be in the World Cup anyway, so they need not worry about ridicule.

I'm gonna head down to "Yard" for the event in 2007 and probably forgo my ski trip that year. Our little island will be playing against the likes of England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan etc. As I said before, it is a huge deal for us.

Yeah! And apparently they have a "cricket" team too, whatever that is.
