Over to the Soca Warriors

The crowds at the Queen's Park Oval haven't been short on the musical front. One of the catchy tunes has been the one toasting the Soca Warriors, the T&T football team that's gearing up to play in their first World Cup.

Cricinfo asked a couple of the Trinidad cricketers to talk about the excitement.

"T&T qualifying for the World Cup was like Lara breaking the world record,” said Dwayne Bravo. “Dwight Yorke may be old but he isn’t finished yet, he is still got a lot of strength and pace in his legs. Obviously, England and Sweden will make the play but we will be dangerous in counterattacks."

Dave Mohammed recalled that when T&T had qualified, by beating Bahrain in the play off, the cricket side were in Australia. "The Trinidad boys - Lara, Bravo, Ganga and me - celebrated with a small party together. Even though we may be playing cricket, we will follow our side closely on the internet and on TV."
