Congratulations to the Canadian team for their great performance in qualifying for the 2003 world cup. It was nice to see some decent media coverage at the time. For the most part the sports media in Canada treat cricket as some quaint old fashioned game with incomprehensible rules. They have no idea just how big cricket is on the international scene and its up to all cricket loving Canadians to change this situation. I hope we will get live TV coverage in Canada - cricket coverage here is still very limited.

G'Day, Congradulations to the Canadian Cricket Team. As an Australian, i have always said that for cricket to survive it must grow globely and i'm excited that less known countries that play cricket get a chance to play with the top teams. I would also like to see touring teams include countries such as Canada, America, etc in their schedule. Anyway, good luck and enjoy yourselves Craig

To Joe Harris and the rest of the team .. CONGRATULATIONS. I was in Canada for two years with Action Cricket and know how unlucky the team was to qualify for the last World Cup. I will be watching all the Canadian games (above SA games !) and hope to see some of my old friends. CONGRATS AGAIN. Mark van Rensburg

Severely belated I know, but congrats on your qualification for the World Cup. I think the key focus for Canada must be to ensure the 2003 World Cup is not a footnote in cricket history to go along with 1979. Canada has already qualified for one World Cup, and has a sufficiently large supporter base to support the game. Canada must ensure the development of new players, for the 2003 World Cup and beyond of sufficient quality to at first compete with, and eventually defeat top class opposition. Remember that 20 years previous to the next World Cup, a bunch of chicken and tobacco farmers with red caps where shaking in their boots at facing the likes of Lillee and Thompson. Now they're hosting World Cup matches...

Congratulations Team Canada, I am in Adelaide, Australia. The part few years I have been interested in Cricket outside Australia. I am very happy for your Country for making it to the world cup in 2003 in South Africa. I hope you will beat us the Australian Team because I am just a bit geting tied of us beating all the teams we play. All the best to Cricket in Canada and Congratulations.

To the Canadian Cricket Association, While it is good to applaud the short-term success of Canadian cricket you still need to look to the future. The only way Canadian cricket can progress is to play the test nations and be competitive. I have seen the fixture for the 2003 world cup and found that we are not even playing the world champions (Australia). One would think playing them is imperative for both experience and exposure. I recommend applying to the Australian cricket board for a place in one of their tri-nations series, this way we can compete on the world stage against quality opposition. Even if we were unsuccessful imagine what we could take away from it. If you want sponsorship you need to show everyone that you can be competitive to ignore this fact is detrimental to the Canadian cricket cause. Josh

Coming from a country who is a full member of the I.C.C (New Zealand),I think your achievement(to qualify in the I.C.C 2003 World Cup of Cricket)is really marvelous because it is good to see new teams play cricket that I've never seen play before.I know that Mark Billcliff qualified to be in your squad as he has played for my home provincial side(Otago). I would also like more information on the history of cricket in Canada,players/player lists,etc and any other information that you might think I'll be interested in. I would suggest to your squad that to prepare adequately for the World Cup they should try to get some financial backing to tour countries that are full members of the I.C.C such as New Zealand,Pakistan,Australia,India,and other countries that you wish to travel to. Congratulations! Yours Faithfully, Robert Attfield Avid cricket fan. P.S:If it is possible,could you also send information to my postal address as I rarely have the time to go on the internet and check my email? Robert Attfield 23 Marslin Street Alexandra,9181, Central Otago, South Island, NEW ZEALAND. THANK YOU!
