Send your message of support to the Canadian cricket team

I send my best wishes, to the team and its coaches, during the balance of the tournament. I became an instant fan of cricket after witnessing three games during the ICC Trophy Tournament that was hosted in Canada, which included "our" team's defeat of Scotland, to earn a birth into the World Chapionships.

Congratulations on an outstanding effort so far during the World Cup! As a Canadian living in London, I have become a cricket fan and have watched, with great interest, both the current and previous World Cup tournamnets. Working in an office with predominantly West Indies and Indian colleagues, it has been great to see their reactions to the way Canada has played. Praise and great respect from everyone, especially after the West Indies match. I look forward to seeing Canadian cricket continue to grow. Let's see more Test-playing sides come over to Toronto and maybe even Vancouver!!! Well done once again! Kevin

To have the rest of the country finally hearing a bit about cricket is wonderful. To have the world hearing about a Canadian cricketer born in Campbell River ... well that's too great for words. Thanks John, for making us proud. How about an autographed picture to hang in my high school class room so the next time a student asks me to explain cricket I can start with a hometown hero.

I was in South Africa during the last world cup. I still remember the excitement as I watched South Africa vs. Australia in the semi-finals. That was my introduction tho this sport which I now love. In the streets of Phoenix, South Africa, I learned to play the game. My coaches were twelve year old boys who fielded like Jonty or bowled like Allan Donald. Thanks for representing Canada and sharing cricket with our nation. We are behind you and wish you luck, not only in South Africa, but in sharing cricket with Canada!

Wonderful showing Canada and specially Davison on his magnificent record breaking hundred. The game I miss the most after moving to Vancouver a year ago is Cricket and now I hope efforts will be made to popularize this wonderful game. I truly believe that Cricket moulds ones character and I would like my son who is now 6 years old to learn the game. If he was in India it would have been a foregone conclusion, but we need the game to be encouraged here in Canada. Congratulations to the entire Canadian Team and the Canadian Cricket Association on the truly magnificent performance of the team - Dennis Rego in Vancouver.

G'day from Sydney, and congratulations to John Davison, and team Canada for a great display against the West Indies. It doesn't get any better than a record fastest century in the World Cup, and it was an outstanding achievement from a great player. I know I've been very impressed with his efforts over the last Australia summer, playing for the Redbacks, and I'm sure that he will continue to play well for a long time. Furthermore, it is good to see Canada improving with every match against the best competition in the world, and best wishes for your last two matches - play well!!! Peter
