Bermuda cricket team

The Bermudian cricket team is the team representing Bermuda in the sport of cricket, ruled by the Bermuda Cricket Board. The Bermuda Cricket Board was chosen to Associate Membership of the ICC , the global ruling body for the sport, in 1966. Having performed in all eight ICC World Cup Qualifiers (formerly the ICC Trophy), the one-day competition for associate and affiliate members of the ICC, their most notable achievements have been finishing runners up in the 1982 competition and, more recently, finishing fourth in the 2005 event - granting them qualification to their first World Cup in the 2007
tournament. They failed to proceed past the Group Stage, following heavy defeats - including the largest defeat ever recorded in a World Cup match at the hands of India. The highlight of the Bermudian season is the annual Cup Match, played between of the island's leading clubs of Somerset & St. George's, which was first played in 1902. The game is played in a carnival atmosphere over public holidays.
