Congratulations to Team Canada. They fielded exceptionally well and bowled pretty good to win the first World Cup match in Canadian History. Everyone in Canada should be proud of what the team accomplished today given the odds against them. Keep up the good work and wish you all the best in the rest of the games of the tournament.

Well done to the Canadian cricket team on a great victory
in your first World Cup 2003 game. You are top of the table
with your other pool winners. You have more points than the Kiwis. You have made the news here in N.Z. Well batted Ian, we are very proud of your great effort for the Canadians. Congratulations to Cogrington & the other bowlers who defended your total well. There may not be too many other 5 wickets taken in this tournament.
Your team work in the field was also commendable, keep it up. You can all hold your heads high after this great victory. May your team go from strength to strength.
John & Glenda Billcliff, Ian's extended family & friends.

Congratulations on the Bangladesh triumph! You will be pleased to know that the Vancouver Sun has run two major articles on the world cup this week (from Reuters and AP), both with sidebars on the Canadian team. I am sure you will finally get some real press coverage from the win!
Well done!

Well done boys! Greetings from Adelaide, South Australia! Originally from Calgary, I am an avid fan of cricket and often see the RedBacks at Adelaide Oval. I love the game and think that Canadians would enjoy it (especially the one day game) if they had some exposure to it. What you have done is remarkable considering playing conditions in Canada. You should all be proud and know that there are Canadians like myself all over the cricket world who are rapped with this result. Godd luck the rest of the way!
Cheers
Brent

Congratulations from New Zealand on a fantastic showing against Bangladesh and all the best for making Kenya the next notch on the Canadian bat handle!
PS: Could you maybe let us have Ian Bilcliff back on the days you're not using him...the Black Caps could sure do with his batting skills right now!

Congratulations, guys!! Keep up the good work. Despite the hockey, the game was reported on 680News (Toronto) and our local paper (Kitchener) has been putting in articles on the World Cup. You're getting better publicity now than you did in 1979. We're proud of you. Bob Duncanson, Kitchener

To Joe Harris & His Team,
Great performance Joe and a Great Result for Canadian Cricket. Let this be just the start? Go For It. I don't know if you'll remember me but I was the Venue Manager at the ICC Trophy when you played at Ros Lord Park(Lower Ground). You kindly autographed an ICC Shirt and gave it to me. Any chance of a World Cup one to make a Super Pair???

I'm English with a great love for all things Canadian so I hope Team Canada have a great world cup. I've just seen the Bangadesh result so it's started out brilliantly - keep up the good work and go easy on the Aussies - they've just finished a hard series against England (!!!)

Well done Canada on winning your first world cup match. Show the cricket world what you can do, and hopfully you boys can pull off a couple more victories. Maybe then Canada may get test status and taken seriously as a cricket nation.
