We are a highly critical people. although we accept plenty nonsense when it suits us. The ladies have come a long way we are learning the trails, congrats to Krisani Irish. continue making Dominica proud. There were some boys there not men criticizing the coach, am so upset this guy is doing voluntary work and is being made fun of. Men don’t do those things, Dominica has men who train at West Indies level and they don’t help the ladies. What has happened to pride for country. The ones who criticized do not know how to ENCOURAGE. Thanks to Superintendent Irish who was trying to show the boys what to do, they couldn’t do that, they were having too much fun.
Do not talk about the no show of some cricket officials. We are a sorry state. Although the entrance was free is not a sewo is not FIFA is not a big money nobody mele those young ladies well motivated tried. there is room for improvement of course. Where is love for country and national pride. I cant believe those politicians get us so distracted that we even hate our own country. can you believe that.
that’s the same team that the coach said was ready?
mama well Ebola killing them papa
Only second to the Neo DLP in failures.lol!
Waste of time with that Dominica team!
Girls, its a work in progress, keep at it one small step to the top life `s lesson. Good luck going forward. Stay positive!!!
Why even bother to suit up? This almost seems like a useless tournament.
Dominica must lose because they don’t play enough cricket. They only come together to do some thing when there is a tournament.
This is poor!
Better luck at next game.
