Eye on the ball,
You forgot these true cricketing Dinosaurs.Clayton Lambert , H R Johnson, K.Darlinton ,Sudesh Daniram ,Nazir Javed(charlie),R. Staple ,D.Kallicharran, F. Bacchus ect ect ,Just a few to mention. Bet if selected they show up in Whites/Coloured to Play???
Michael should be in Canada playing with the USA U15 team. He’s a better bowler compared to the other bowlers selected.
I understand Richmond Hill played un-registered players against Enmore.Is that true? Does anyone remembers that Richmond Hill protested against this same team last year?Pay-back is a bitch?I do hope that Enmore do protest and the game is taken away from Richmond Hill.Well done Mickey?
MIkEY well done keep up the good work,you are one of the futher superstars for newyork,hope the selectors are taken notes.
Ray who wants to play for usa anyway and a hundred against the whipping boys of the eaca? Come on ! U may swell debo’s head with such comment but u not fooling any body else. Let’s talk about mikey and the other youngsters rather than a cricketing dinosaur.
Thanks Jer
Mickey took 3 wickets.
I still maintain Debu is the best cricketer not to have represented the USA.
Keep on dispatching the ball to all parts of the boundary, Debu.
A former director of USACA tried to explain the reason for the non-selection. At best it was preposterous and laughable!
