Safety first for east end selectors

James Whittaker — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:55:01 -0300

James Whittaker So St George's always play to win, huh? Both Lionel Cann and Lewis Foggo told us last week that winning was a priority but the side they have picked looks built to bat for two days. With the...

Putting Bermuda on the map

James Whittaker — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:12:00 -0300

Don Burgess I'm going to take this blog to the next level. It's going to put Bermuda on the map because I'm giving it 110 per cent. I have to do this for our youth because they're our future. Blah,...

Why St. George's won't lose

James Whittaker — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:49:36 -0300

Don Burgess The teams haven't been picked yet, but I doubt that St. George's will lose the Cup at home. The last time that happened was in the early 70s - In the past 50 years they have only lost...

Apples and oranges

James Whittaker — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:32:09 -0300

James Whittaker Football and cricket took another unnecessary pounding in the Gazette today for the size of their Government grants. ‘They didn’t get $15m like the BFA or $11m like the BCB, but Bermuda’s athletes have continued to defy the...

May 24th predictions

James Whittaker — Mon, 18 May 2009 13:02:36 -0300

Don Burgess The smart money is on Chris Estwanik to defend his Marathon Derby title. He's in another league right now and it's unlikely that anyone else will be able to run a sub 1:10 which would be required to...

Where now for Bermuda as Logie quits

James Whittaker — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:06:04 -0300

By James Whittaker Unsurprisingly Bermuda coach Gus Logie has confirmed his decision to quit the national team today. Well documented frustration over lack of discipline, ambition and work ethic from the players are at the root of his decision and...

The truth is out there..... we just have to acknowledge it

James Whittaker — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:30:14 -0300

By James Whittaker Interesting conspiracy theory from Clay Smith in the Royal Gazette today. Apparantly the ICC and CricInfo are to blame for Bermuda’s failure to qualify for the World Cup… Really? I can’t think of any possible format the...

Down and out in Johannesburg

James Whittaker — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:50:14 -0300

By James Whittaker I'm feeling pretty deflated after just watching Bermuda's fourth comprehensive defeat in five games in South Africa. Like many of the players and coaching staff, I had high hopes for Bermuda in this tournament and they haven't...

Can we do it?

James Whittaker — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:57:27 -0300

By Don Burgess Yes we can! If we can just get Barack Obama on board the possibilities are endless for our cricket team as they aim to qualify for the World Cup in 2011. The loss of Chris Douglas is...

Gag order

James Whittaker — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:28:54 -0300

By Don Burgess There is a long list of exemplary athletes over the years who have spoken out against Government for a lack of financing. And Roy Burch wasn't the only athlete last year who complained about a lack of...
