Cricket Web - Book Project

[James]

We are pleased to announce an exciting project that is being undertaken by a Cricket Web Project Team in conjunction with Quiller Publishing to release a book containing what we consider to be some of the best Cricket Web Forum threads over the years.

The following threads have been chosen to be included as a part of this book:

You know you are obsessed with cricket when...
What's the worst way to be dismissed?
Your weirdest backyard rule?
Pick one former player to add to your current Test team
If Bradman played in today's era?
Cricketers who changed the way the game was played
Players who you thought wouldn’t make it.............
The greatest all-rounder of all time
Who is the second greatest leg spinner ever?

Everyone who has posted in these threads and not had their post excluded as a part of the editing will receive an email with further details over the next 24-48 hours.

This is a very exciting project for the site and should provide great publicity for us moving forward. We'll continue to update this thread with details as the book moves closer to a release

Sounds awesome. I can't click on the links though - well I can but I get an unauthorized access message.

 

[Flem274*]

Same here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah James linked to the versions we copied to another subforum for editing etc instead of the Cricket Chat ones; I'll edit his post for him.

EDIT: He's noticed it himself and is fixing it.

 

[James]

Sorry guys, have fixed the links.

No thanks to Prince EWS

 

[Dan]

Can we please get Throwing Stuff in there.

 

[Howe_zat]

[Flem274*]

Nominate:

-India in England 2012
-Whats Going On?
-Pratters v Sanz

 

[Spark]

Needs a few tour threads IMO.

 

[James]

There was a lot of consideration given towards Tour Threads, but it was decided against it in the end due to word limits.

 

[morgieb]

can we please get throwing stuff in there.

awta.

The following email was sent to all the members involved with the threads listed in the first post.

[vic_orthdox]

Can we just approve within a thread? I'm happy to give it thumbs up.

 

[Spark]

At a bare minimum, it should include this

 

[Athlai]

Professional cricketers flaming forumers should be included for sure.

 

[benchmark00]

Yeah this will be a real page turner........

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I am happy that my posts in those threads are representative of my views. Laughing at Athers getting run out on 99 being a particular highlight.

My only disappointment is that there is no mention of Mike Garnham in any of my posts.

As an aside - what will you do with posts that consist only of smilies or photographs not taken by the poster in question?

 

[morgieb]

Professional cricketers flaming forumers should be included for sure.

 

[Prince EWS]

My only disappointment is that there is no mention of Mike Garnham in any of my posts.

What are the odds?!

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

There is a selection of 25 threads to choose from where Mike Garnham gets a mention. May I suggest one of these gets added to the list?

As a coincidence, I appear to have posted in every one of those threads. How bizarre.
