Forner Slams Controversial Washington

Californian opening bowler, Josh Forner, has condemned the actions of pace bowling counterpart, Manan Shah, calling his behaviour "nothing short of a farce."

"It's an absolute disgrace. Shah is clearly just an attention seeker, as he has blown this whole thing out of proportion." Said Forner in an exclusive interview yesterday. "The fact that he retalliated to the captain's initial comments in such an aggressive manner purely says to me that we have Shane Warne all over again. Best keep him away from the phone in future."

When Forner was asked what he thought of the claim of gestures Shah may or may not have made to the crowd on exiting the field of a recent match (the claims yet to be substatiated), he simply chuckled; "Well, that's just a fast bowler's short temper. I've done it before, but never when I'm actually in the spotlight."

Forner's comments are no-doubt to cause furore amongst the camps, and it has to be said that perhaps he is seeking some attention of his own.

"I just want what is best for the game of cricket, and in my eyes this whole hoo-hah down at Washington has got to stop. Let's hope it gets resolved soon."

I have, again, no comments regarding the article published by my team mate Josh Forner. I respect all my team mates and I have not made any public comments over the past week, as I am just trying to focus on cricket. I would ask that everyone respect my privacy at this time.

20 off 79 balls and then 20* off 38. Getting less like Demeza every innings.

Rumours of drug use continue to escalate as the behaviour of Manan Shah becomes more and more erratic. Most recently he mistook Josh Forner - signed with California - to be his teammate at Washington. No comment from either party on the matter.

...you're in Australia with the 'A' team...

Does no one on this forum pay attention to the major tours?!

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Yay, wickets. And runs.

Looks like it, not many have been following up the U19's as well.

Playing quite decently, just need more time in the middle so should work out well for myself and the teams cause.

Bwahahahaaha!!

 

[Travis_Teh]

It is quite obvious that Shah suffers from "head up his own bottom syndrome", thus he never noticed that Forner plays for another team all together.

LOL. I really am getting worse and worse....

I need an intervention TBH.

 

[silentstriker]

Also, to be fair, do I really care about anyone but myself anyway?

 

[Majin]

I really don't want Shah in the Colts. Him and Jaso in the same team would make the universe implode

haha, one of the best calls i've ever seen.

 

[Loony BoB]

Jaso's been fine in his last 1-2 series, no worse than anyone else in the Dev League. But yeah, this guy's something else...

 

[silentstriker]

TBF, last couple times, its been people picking on me. I try to keep quiet you know.

 

[Loony BoB]

I'm sure. The many news articles and you being the second highest poster by a decent margin in this thread really back you up.

I don't think anyone is really picking on anyone - if someone starts talking about themselves a lot then they're bound to end up with people having digs at them.

Nah, it's a conspiracy. Amir is pulling strings in the background with his evil network of corrupt umpires and providing ***ual favors to administrators.

BTW, this was also said in private. I don't want another lawsuit.
