Just wanted to congratulate you all for making an excellent showing at this year's World Cup. As an American born cricketer, it does my heart glad to see fellow North Americans making steady progress toward respectability in the great sport of cricket. Your victory over Bangladesh was convincing, and your performance against West Indies was commendable. On behalf of the entire Tri-City Cricket club here in Schenectady, NY, we wish you all continued success and continued headlines on the world cricket stage!!!

A Canuck now forever Down Under.
I never watched Cricket because I thought the game itself sucked, & I didn't know Canada even had a team.
NOW I love the game (watch all games) & love the team.
Great work to all involved.
A new cricket fan.
ICC & Canada needs to give a little more respect to this team.
Davison & Bilcliff are excellent.
Keep making records...good & bad!
Thanks Dave Kell
PS. Where can I get a shirt (jersey) or team hat?????????

My heartiest congratulations to the players and officials of the Canadian team on their historic victory over Bangladesh. I think this win is not a victory for a particular nation or country but an overall victory for cricket and help it grow globally. I have played Premier league cricket in Bangladesh and also have the honour of being the first Bangladeshi Under-16 captain of the first under-16 team in 1994. Migrating to Canada in 1996 I was dissappointed for not being able to keep up with my greatest passion in life - cricket. I hope that the results of the Canadian team recently will bring more people into playing cricket. This result will also inspire me to keep on continue playing cricket atleast on summer weekends. Once again congrats to the Canadian team and goodluck with the rest of the tournament.

I wish you the best! I'm behind you and India and (kinda England...well sort of) all the way.
From all the cricket fans in Wales!!!

Dear Team Canada.
I am a Sri Lankan living in Australia and would just like to say how excellent it is to see a team like yours really giving it to the opposition. Please, do not be discouraged by an unlucky loss to Sri Lanka (despite the fact that i support them). I am loving the spirit you are playing with at the moment. 184/4 off 30 overs is an incredible total against a team which defeated South Africa.
I'm rooting for you guys, keep up the good work.

Canada, Canada, Canada, Oi, Oi, Oi. I'm Australian and have not one gloating bone in my body, so I'm sending to the whole Canadian Cricket Team a play on the Aussie encouragement call often used at sporting events. Good to see you playing again - keep it going, and enjoy it all.

Never mind lads!
Just being there is great ... you're all there DOING it and not here watching. You're living the dream for many by being there to participate on behalf of Canada.
We'll be cheering you on in the next one against the Windies. Good luck to every single one of you!
Very best wishes,

Hi there guys, I am an Australian that was dissappointed to see you guys lose to Sri Lanka like that.
This is not a message of comiseration however. This is a message to applaud you all.
I have always had a respect for Canadians, especially for your spirit. I think that the most important thing in sport and life is to give it your best shot. Regardless of winning or losing if you have done your best, you can always hold you head high in pride.
I notice that in every sporting event I see Canadians giving their all. They may not be winning, (really, who's gonna beat us in Cricket and Rugby) but there is never an air of defeat and the game is played with all heart until the final ball/whistle/hooter etc.
So I say in closing that I slaute you and hope to see you guys trying hard again. Never give up and know that some of us are extremely proud of you all.
