Great to see the Falkland Islands cricket team playing abroad.....a good development for the game on the Falklands and also an excellent way of making the Carribean region more aware of the Falklanders....as with the sponsored trip of Carribean and Central American journalists to the Falklands, this all helps promote the cause of the right of the Falklanders to determine their own future, free of interference from neo-colonialists in the name of Argentina.

Well the only thing the Argentines know what to do with a cricket bat is attack defenceless people in cruise liner booking offices.

@5 actually you're wrong, there is an Argentine cricket club. The majority have no idea though.

They tried to play once but they were skittled out for 82 and so have spent the last 30 years appealing the umpires decision

I'm surprised Argentinians are allowed to play Rugby with this current government in power....

Yes, give them arms and an armed opposition and their most utilised military kit is a white flag, (supplied in every Argentine ration pack) usually after getting their butts kicked first.
