The Bermudian cricket team
The Bermudian cricket team is the team representing Bermuda in the sport of cricket. Cricket in Bermuda is governed by the Bermuda Cricket Board. Bermuda has approximately 2,000 cricket players. The Bermuda Cricket Board was elected to Associate Membership of the International Cricket Council, the global ruling body for the sport, in 1996. History
The first recorded cricket match to take place in Bermuda occurred on 30 August 1844. The Bermuda Cricket
Club was formed one year later and had support from locals as well as British troops. Some international
games were played against American sides, principally from Philadelphia in the late 19th century, but
the cricketing strength of the island diminished greatly after the First World War. Indeed, the only
significant tour in the inter-War years was a five-match tour by a team led by Sir Julien Cahn in 1933.Bermuda played their first One-day International in May 2006, and were successful in their first outing, beating Canada at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad as part of a triangular series which also included Zimbabwe. This made them the fourth team to win their first ODI, after Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe. Bermuda will now play in the 2007 World Cup. Performance
It has played in 7 ICC Trophies, the one-day competition for non-full-members of the ICC, and they were
runners-up in 1982. They won the Plate (a competition for teams knocked out of the ICC Trophy in the
early rounds) in 1997. The highlight of the Bermuda season is the annual Cup Match, played between two
of the island's leading clubs of Somerset and St. George's,
which was first played in 1902. The game is played in a carnival atmosphere over two public holidays.In August 2006, they played a four-day Intercontinental Cup match and two ODIs against Canada in Canada. They lost the Intercontinental Cup match, but did not go down without a fight. In the ODIs that followed, they comprehensively defeated Canada 2-0. Also in August, they played in Division One of the ICC Americas Championship, and did well to win the tournament for the first time, without losing a game. Chances in the 2007 World Cup
The 2007 World Cup will be the first for Bermuda, they have not qualified for the tournament prior to
this. The Bermuda Team's Chances in the 2007 World Cup don't look very promising, for as a debutant,
Bermuda will go into the tournament lacking experience and international exposure. Bermuda can go into
the tournament and play with a positive mind. They have nothing to lose. World Cup 2007 should be
a learning experience for Bermuda and it will surely be the first of many for this Caribbean island. ![]() |
