***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

[Cabinet96]

How can you declare when the other match is at tea? What the **** am I supposed to d for 10 minutes?

 

[Flem274*]

You are aware that international cricketers read the forum and have actually slagged off phlegm before right?

*cricketer

but yeah blocky's pretend act won't be passing unnoticed.

 

[BeeGee]

A bit sporting.

 

[Blocky]

Of course, but I believe some of your highlights include repeatedly calling Ross Taylor a "lazy ****" when everyone on the forum knows you have no idea, and suggesting Martin Guptill has a mental illness and calling his missus a slut. If I could be arsed I'd go back through last summers threads to dig those charming Guptill comments.

At which point I was rightly banned for making slurs not related to cricket towards players. And learned my lesson, and haven't posted that way since.

It's a shame you don't seem to learn from the times you're banned.

 

[Zinzan]

Interesting, thought they'd at least want to get to the psychological 400 mark, clearly they want at least an hour tonight.

 

[SteveNZ]

You do realise making a comment about an international cricketer, in a cricket forum, where we post our opinions about cricketers, is not a personal comment, right? I'm thinking you should probably get that by now.

This is where you are very, very wrong for so many reasons.

 

[straw man]

Kane
BJ

To be fair it seems like banning Flem is something of a hobby amongst the mods in these parts and doesn't have much to do with his posting.

 

[Blocky]

Interesting, thought they'd at least want to get to the psychological 400 mark, clearly they want at least an hour tonight.

Think it comes down more so to overs - 19 overs, minus two for the innings change equals 17 overs tonight with the new ball, also means they'll have a second crack tomorrow for another 20ish overs with a new ball tomorrow evening.

 

[cnerd123]

Oooh so NZ going for the win.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Dunno if I agree but should be entertaining

 

[OverratedSanity]

They'll chase it down.

 

[Athlai]

Yup - which should tell you something about Flem's mental state and the fact that he doesn't generally acknowledge cricketers in this forum.

If Taylor was on the forum and I said "You're a lazy piece of ****, pull the finger out of your ass and start training harder" to him - that's personal. If Taylor isn't on the forum and I say "Taylor needs to train harder, he's a lazy ****" - that's not personal.

You are a piece of work. There are ways of getting a point across without being beligerent about it.

 

[Spark]

It's an enjoyable pastime tbf.

And yeah, I'm here now. Don't make me grumpy.

 

[Blocky]

Bollocks, no different to reading articles about yourself in the paper from a journalist in my view.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Shame should have let BJ get his 150, but w/e good declaration. NZ should look to win this.

 

[cnerd123]

They'll chase it down.

Can't wait till Sanga thanks Kohli for the inspiration for his match-winning innings.

 

[Blocky]

You are a piece of work. There are ways of getting a point across without being beligerent about it.

You do realise most of the time the forum breakdown occurs, it's because someone such as yourself takes offense at something I've said and spends the next three pages (or in the case of Flem, the next two years) trying to derail any topic or conversation, while claiming I'm the reason the atmosphere sucks in here.

You have the ignore option, some of you even take pride in expressing that you're using it - please feel free to do so if you don't like my posting style, the sheer fact that my notification keeps lighting up repeatedly with "liked" comments indicates that some people do enjoy my posting style. The less time you spend attempting to argue with me about the way I post, the less time you'll spend being offended about how I post.

Should be a pretty simple understanding, because ultimately, I've not seen you add anything to the cricket conversation in the past three pages, except to denounce me for making statements about cricket.

 

[morgieb]

Odd declaration.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Obviously Blocky deserves a lot of credit for this innings due to hisrreverse jinxing.

Prediction - Neesham will tonne up, Williamson out before 65
