Hahah that's awesome

Sit with the TV, rather.

I multitask tbf. I'm not really one to sit on the TV and just watch the TV, I'll have the TV on in the background and work on stuff on the laptop or watch it on the TV and do other stuff as well.

Yep. Only a recent thing for me, the first neutral series I really followed was England-Pakistan last year. Obviously seen all cricket we've played, and I think I've seen the vast majority of England's stuff as well.

It's what I do.

It's 9pm here man, I don't go to sleep usually for like at least three-four more hours

I officially give up on BBM.

thank you mate. I want my team to do well desperately, but more importantly I just want to see top notch test cricket. broad is doing that and no shame in admitting that,

Or he's going to take 40 wickets. One or the other. Another drop. I can't even ****ing root for these assholes with so many drops.

Anderson to go wicketless in the series.

Sachin to score 400.

mate i know what u mean i mean its going downhill fast with guys like flem274 in charge

Wish you and your team good luck... just 2 hours more to go! Whatever be the result, let's keep up the spirit!! TC

Around 3 to 3:30 p.m. here. FWIW, I expect things to improve around here when the series starts, more talking points and less of the silly arguments, baiting etc. It was that way in the India-SA series also.

Are you making it to any of the games, mate?

I appreciate it and no worries. I fully understand that you are angry about the infraction, so the VM doesn’t bother me. If I may echo what Flem wrote in his email to you, you are not only a senior member but a very popular one as well and make solid contributions to the forum. Even though we may have a difference of opinion regarding our moderation policies toward you, I do sincerely hope that you are not infracted again, as I believe your banning would be a loss for everyone involved. I hope things settle down for everyone and we get a good, fun series. Best of luck.

I know I'm new and I don't really know you very well, but I've honestly held a high opinion of you just like a lot of other posters do, however, recently I'm sure you'll agree that you've been a bit angsty (albeit rightfully so) with your posting. But the thing is it's achieving nothing at all and it simply results in **** arguments being thrown about, people not backing down when they're wrong, sarcastic comments being made, etc. It's no longer 'banter', it's just like how my kindergarten playground used to function

Just my 2 cents, hope you aren't offended or something. Cheers

Fair enough if he's said **** to you off the forum and stuff as well, can fully understand why you don't like that certain someone. When I made that grow up comment, I was directing it at everyone. The way I see it, we're all behaving like kids and everyone just needs to chill the **** out. There will always be ****tards around but theres no need for anyone to get agitated over comments and spoil the forum atmosphere and discussions for themselves and others. I know it's not your fault, but by responding and retaliating (and sometimes instigating, to be perfectly honest), you're not helping yourself either.
