Welcome to Cricket Web - Cricket Chat

[morgieb]

Despite being a member for almost 5 years, I dunno if I ever introduced myself to the forum.

I'm Morgan, aged 17. Cricket has long been a passion in my life. Although I never actually played the game outside of the backyard or for school, I have watched the game since I was six (yeah beat that ****s! ). I currently attend high school in Sydney, Australia, and am in my final year. I dunno what I'm gonna do after that - probably do an Arts degree of some description if I get in.

Although my cricket interest flagged off after 2005 or something (probably the disadvantage of going to a school without many people of Anglo-Saxon or subcontinental breed), it came back (and bigger than ever!) in 2008. Also, the beauty of cricket games (yeah it's kinda dorky, so what! ) brought me to CW, where I discovered the forum and flourished my cricketing knowledge.

I am a bit of a stats monkey, but more recently I've actually watched more of the game and been able to tell if a player just plain sucks. Also, it sorta helps that I've known people who actually follow cricket to some degree apart from my dad or people on here

Obviously due to where I'm from, I support Australia, and don't really like England, South Africa or India

Welcome Paul, Ganesh, Neil and Morgan.

The English contingent has been looking surprisingly strong of late - on the field of play and on CW!

My name's Ganesh and I live in Bangalore, India. Started following cricket seriously after the 1996 world cup and have been a huge fan ever since. Favorite team is India (duh) followed by the windies of yore. I came to CW from another cricket forum after seeing a link to a thread here by JBMAC describing his all time favorite cricketers.

My favorite posters are PEWS and benchmark00 for his scathing witty retorts

This was a very heart warming post until the name PEWS was mentioned.

Welcome anyway. I have been enjoying your thoughtful posts.

Peace.

Born, bred and passionate Wellingtonian. Played a lot of cricket growing up but since moving to the UK my appearances have been limited. Enjoyed playing some village cricket in Warwickshire mind.

Support NZ first, England second and then I'm whimsical about the rest. Always looking for a resurgence in WI cricket so like to see them doing well.

This looks a great forum with some knowledgable posters. I look forward to contributing where I can.

Cheers

We will claim you as a Kiwi even if you hadn't have been born and bred here as long as you support the bcs. I was also born in wellington. Lower Hutt hospital to be precise. Best wishes to you.

I've seen some of your story before in the explain your avatar thread and a couple of others but not in this level of detail. Good post.

I am not going to introduce myself as I did it in the off topic thread when I first joined.

I'm Len. I'm 24 and I'm from South Africa.
I've been watching cricket more or less since the 92 world cup. I haven't played cricket other then a bit of backyard cricket.
I support South Africa through every win, loss and jaw-dropping World Cup exit. Also a bit of a fan of England.
I look forward to sharing views, getting to know fellow posters and (hopefully) adding some value to this forum. Cheers

Hi Len, welcome.

 

[uvelocity]

I support South Africa ..... Also a bit of a fan of England.

It's the same thing

 

[ganeshran]

It's the same thing

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Good to have you here, Len!

Need more South Africans, IMHO. And some West Indians, Zimbabweans and Bangladeshis too - teams that I feel are somewhat under-represented on CW.

 

[Len_SA]

Thanks guys. Glad to add to the SA numbers on CW.

Welcome, Len. There are some good SA posters here (see for example SA domestic thread).

Nice avatar!

Hi Len,
nice avatar with that mighty amlabeard

 

[Len_SA]

Thanks Jan and Quaggas- Yeah, big fan of Amla. Awesome batsman and seems like a genuinely nice guy.
He is actually from the same small, fairly anonymous town that I'm from- so his success in international cricket is just that bit more satisfying to see. As you can imagine, he is a big local hero here- with the awesome beard just adding to the aura.

welcome Len -

Hi Len, I'm another new SAer here.

 

[Len_SA]

Hi Mr Prez. From one newbie Saffa to another- Welcome.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Saffas, saffas everywhere! I think the man in my avatar pic could be one reason for this mass Saffa influx on CW! And a very welcome one, IMHO!

 

[MrPrez]

Cheers Len.
@ OatP: Not really, although he has been awesome! I've been looking for new forums to waste time on, this one was the best (I'm already on cricsim, flaming bails and battrick)
