At the end of the training this will be a Daniel Singh, Shan Mohamed team for NAGICO Tournament you will see what am saying boys
but God is love and love is God
It is never a Daniel nor Shan team if you play to the level pf making the Squad you will so stop. It takes dedication and discipline to and in the game and you need to think about that before critising.
I agree with you…this is a nagico team not BVI team….
Cricket cricket cricket critket every where!
Sounds like Love is jealous of some people!!!
I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE BVI CRICKET ASSOCIATION WOULD SEND JACKSON TO THE LEEWARDS ISLANDS BOARD MEETING TO VOTE FOR THE LICA CRICKET TOURNAMENT TO BE PLAYED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HURRICANE SEASON AND BE REDUCED TO TWO DAYS NO WONDER LEEWARDS ISLAND CRICKET IS IN SUCH A STATE. INSTEAD OF PLAYING MORE CRICKET WE AE VOTING TO PLAY. SHAME ON YOU ME PRESIDENT.
IT SHOULD HAVE READ VOTING TO PLAY LESS .
Thanks for cricket coming this year….
Thanks Daniel singh for selecting players from cavaliers always….
Y dont u put name of team as CAVALIERS X1 rather than BVI team..
dont make fool of any1….
how many guyanese will u put in ur team??
UNFAIR TO THE MAX !!!
what is this the guyana squad charlie you could have done alot better dont be no body puppet. you all have not played any cricket so how you all come up with that team. the average age of that team is 35 is it the BVI masters team.
lol…:)
Same as I said. Some people real jealous on this MB. But say what you like. Am no Cavaliers fan. But they will beat you in any cricket game. Bring any team and place your bet. They been doing so since A. O. Shirley Ground.
you really is a cavalier fan or you have not been following cricket in the bvi because cricket here over the years has been dominated by cay sports and rivals. cavaliers can win now since those teams does not play any more
Say what you like. Just get your team, put up a challenge and play against them. Bet you would never be ready for that.
All the politics aside, it’s great to see cricket still alive and well in Tortola. My father (Brown) was an original Cavalier and he also played for the bucks at one time back in the early 70s. He is now 79 living in Canada.”Cricket, you got to hit the ball before the ball hit the wicket”
