Bermuda Snorts

More aggro in the build up to the Cricket World Cup as Bermudan cricket officials react angrily to suggestions by the Dutch team that they have exclusive rights over thrashing Scotland.
Bermudan wicket-dodger Kevin Hurdle said: "If anyone's going to slaughter the Scots, we will. The very idea that any Dutch team is going to get in there first and bag three points is laughable." Commentators then informed Hurdle that Bermuda weren't actually in Scotland's group, to which Hurdle retorted: "Just because we're making up the numbers as part of a futile attempt by the cricket authorities to make out the whole world loves cricket, doesn't mean we can't beat Scotland. Of course we can. We wouldn't turn up at all if we didn't think there was a good chance of us playing an even worse team than ourselves." There are nearly 2,000 cricketers in Bermuda.
isporty wants to know how excited you are about the prospect of Holland versus Scotland in the cricket World Cup in March. Will it be painful to watch or are you actually intending to crack open the beers, unleash the pretzels and have a cracking good laugh at their expense?
