Why is it we do better in Cricket than Football !!

[Controversial]

less countries is play cricket than football so is not really a one for one comparison...even when you talking bout the west indies side.

if only 20 lil entities playing yuh sport, yuh have a chance to be a big boy.

next ting u know we beat the Brazil cricket side.

thats bull yuh talking dey, from argentina to holland and singapore they play cricket, but they not producing no world class side, now keep in mind their focus is football but cricket is the 2nd largest sport in the world and not any nation could just produce a world beater, afghanistan is playing well now and are competing.

so its not just 20 sides

[Andre]

they even trying man?

cricket is a non-factor for most of the world.

If is one ting...TI real love he Trinidad.  WE always have de talent to beat anyone at anything as far as he concerned.

I agree; it's that kinda positive thinking and attitude that will ensure TnT excels at everything they do.
If we don't think we have a chance of winning, why even show up.

family thats the problem with these guys, no self confidence and can't see how talented our people are.

too  bad they are not like us, TT would be better off

[injunchile]

Cricket is better managed than TTFF. The clubs keep the leaders on their toes and competition for top positions in management is serious business. No One man show and Yes man President waiting on a Special Advisor. Add a Coaching academy and understand why young players are competing with the best.

[frico]

From day 1 cricket has been our number 1 sport,not only in TT but all over the Caribbean so its no surprise that our cricketers achieve more than footballers.Over the last six years we have done very well in cricket and its only rain and loss of top players was the reason for us not winning the championships in the 4 day matches,that we will corrected this time round.We have produced one footballer whose name is known the world over but have produced world class cricketers over the years and we are still doing so,do I have to say that we have produced the greatest batsman the world have ever seen....ent allyuh know one BRIAN CHARLES LARA,need I say more.

[jahkingdom]

is 20/20......... cricket?.

[sub1]

# 12....Even Jack understands that. look at any part of the world where a professional sport thrives and then look at the people in the stands......Now how many look like Jack.................. Exactly!!!!!!  That is why WI cricket has been on its death bed for quite a while now. Not because of talent but because of the idiots running it. Who have eyes to see let them see. If Deryck Murray was running our football it would be thriving today.

2. More facilities for cricket development (cricket acedemy) than football
3. Better coaches in cricket than football
4. More success in cricket in TnT so there is an inclination by more kids to play the sports hence bigger pool of players

6. More sponsorship from gov't for cricket than football
7. Football is an expensive sport
8. Better development in school cricket league
9. The cricket clubs are better orgaized and managed than football
10. Better management of TnT cricket than the TTFF
11. People in other Carribean countries play more football than cricket
12. Does it have anything to do with race?

1. No

Am kinda disappointed in this new TTCB regime ,for not producing more players from the Junior teams!! Guess Narine, Simmons and Badree could be our new products for teams.

Twenty20 Cricket is like a person who has had cosmetic surgery to enhance their appearance. They look fantastic but you know that it’s all fake and has no real depth to it.

coherent sentences & language please...

For a man who claims to have an opinion about everything T&T, you are a terrible researcher when it comes to sport and understanding what is going on around the world.

did you know that they will be making 20/20 cricket in the near future an olympic sport? Thats just one exmaple of cricket expanding beyond the south asian dominated base.

posting one article from an unknown sports writer, not attributed to any major press outlet, is proving your point? where did you learn to research and debate?

[jahkingdom]

controversial.

 you could talk whatever about research or whatever, cricket is seriously played among few countries and will be less in the future.
