Bermuda lost its ODI status

It is not surprising that Bermuda lost its ODI status. I do feel for the FEW players and the coach and his support staff who gave their heart and soul in this lost cause. Their will be harsh criticism of the team back in Bermuda. The main reasons I think the team did so poorly is because in Bermuda a very small island with a population of around 60,000 the "international" cricketers are larger than life characters and the players actualy believe they are good. They are but small fish in a very small pond. The talent is there but unfortunately it is not just talent that one needs to succeed at an international level. You need the right ATTITUDE. That brings me to the 2nd reason ....DISCIPLINE on and mostly off the field or the apparent lack thereof. When players threaten to quit the team instead of taking ice baths you know you have a problem. That leads me to reason # COMMITMENT. No more ICC $$$ What now??
