    When I read this, I immediately thought of taking a trip to DA, but when I looked at the performance of these guys, I thought it would be a complete waste of time to sit through 3 days of misery to watch these guys. I said 3 days because barring rain delays, that is how long it will take for the Aussies to wrap up that game.

    Just a pathetic bunch, making a lot of noise for more money and they cannot back it up with any kind of performance except when they play against Bangladesh or Zimbabwe. I never rejoiced when they won those games against those teams. They were expected to win. When they play against the big boys, they have no spine.

    Congratulations!! to our lovely island. The cricket authorities beginning to learn at last. The country that they used to shone has become one of their main venues for cricket, thank you we will take it and show the other islands that Dominica and Dominicans are the real Cricket fans. I also predict our Shane shillingford will be selected on the West Indies team. Read thru the lines?????

    I wonder if there will be a West Indies Cricket team come June 2015. For the good of West Indies cricket and west Indians on a whole we need to get rid of the president and the vice president, Cameron and Nanthan, in order to save west indies cricket from the destruction that is not far away. The future of our cricket is as bleak as the future of Dominica under Skerrit. By the way isn’t this same Mano one of Skerrit’s advisors? No wonder the future of both institutions is so messed up

    Wonderful….but how much is that going to cost us?

    I was a diaspora voter in last general election, so I’m coming down to watch cricket too, To contribute Dominica’s economy, I will spend a few hundred dollars.

    • DA deserves respect.

      I go twice a year to the USA a and I spend tend of thousands of US dollars. Does that give me the right to vote in the USA and decide the fate of its citizens.
