Diamond Eagles fall to Trinidad and Tobago by 24 runs!

First we had the Soca Warriors Soccer madness but now the local cricketers are carving a niche for themselves as the Soca Destroyers in the continuing Twenty 20 Tournament in India.  The scenario looked grim for the Diamond Eagles who were set a target score of 214 to win. This, to date, is the hight score by any team in the tournament. That score on any given day is a winning score but as events unfolded it looked like the Eagles wanted to soar over the Soca dancing warriors.  However with the Rilee Rossouw's wicket in the bag the run rate slowed frustrating the efforts of Eagles who were brought down to earth. It does not matter how this tournament turns out for the Trinidadians because they have already swelled our hearts and egos and deserve our praise and thank you. They have already made the entire Caribbean region proud and have restored some pride to our wounded West Indian cricket culture. Congratulations and continued success. Now on to the Semi Finals!
