Is anyone associated in any level with this fantastic game?

Awesome, looks a battrick fan, no wonder I hadn't seen his name.

In what country does he play and at what level if you know Pasag/anyone?

How can a member post and be blind?

How can a member post and be blind?

How can a member post and be braindead?

How can a member post and be braindead?

Not sure that was necessary, legit question IMO.

 

[Jakester1288]

I was about to ask the same thing as morgieb to be honest, I am interested.

 

[~DanVettoriFan~]

Is it possible they make keyboard's for the blind?

I am being completely serious aswell, along with others I'm interested!!

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I'm more interested in how he "reads" other posts. I'm guessing it's some sort of Microsoft Sam software.

I agree, possibly an on screen narrator. Don't know how accurate it would be with acronyms, abbreviations, made up words etc. It would also be interesting to find out how he navigates around the site, clicks new posts, etc, without being able to see it.

He seems like a top lad though.

 

[~DanVettoriFan~]

Now I'm more interested than before.

 

[pasag]

Yeah there are programs that read everything out for you, have had one on Opera for a while.

Mine was legit as well IMO.


Anyway, if you go into your control panel and double click on Accessibility, it'll give you various different options for hearing or sight impairment.

Aah, didn't know options for the blind to search the net existed.
And, Thomas, BTW I'm not braindead.

Please refer to me by my forum name in the future. Thanks.

Could've fooled me.

In blind cricket the ball is rolled along the ground and it rattles as it approaches the batsman, hence the crouched position to strike the ball © Robert Perry/Scotland on Sunday/Sightsavers
