    Is the Champions Trophy just a waste of time this year?

    I think it's the clash of meanings between the thread's title and the question asked above the poll, so the results are ultimately meaningless.

    Is the Champions Trophy just a waste of time this year?

    Haha, I just did exactly the same thing in reverse. The question above the poll asks "do you care"? and I answered "yes". The thread title contradicts it though. I really like it, actually. Gimme the Champions Trophy anytime over a lot of the two-team or threeway comps. Love seeing all the...

    CW Union Committee Vote

    Oh, I just realised, you probably took that comment about running and organizing to be about you specifically. Actually you are somebody I regard fairly highly in general (in spite of the comments this invariably invites), so you shouldn't take it that way. I'm talking more about the group's...

    CW Union Committee Vote

    Haha, fair enough. Look, you guys can go ahead and do what you want, I certainly can't stop you. I do think it's a bit of a joke, though, and if there really is a wider, serious interest in such a concept, I'm sure the process could be handled a lot more openly, than the farming out of votes...

    CW Union Committee Vote

    I'm not talking about people that think it might be a good idea (like I said, it could work, though I really don't see it as necessary). When I say "those who are so keen to do it" I mean running and organizing it.

    Cricket Web Posters Union

    It's not offence, mate, I just think it's all silly. Were I to be interested, I really don't think conversing via email is any great impediment. I've had my share of email conversations with James myself.

    Gah, The letters B and S together are now censored. Another one to look at, moderators.

    CW Union Committee Vote

    Look, there's a possibility something like that could work - I just have extreme doubts (and I'm sure I wouldn't be alone on this) as to the motivations of those who are so keen to do it. But ultimately, many of these guys have an antagonistic relationship to James at best - and the whole...

    Cricket Web Posters Union

    If I was interested in something like this, I'd probably apply for a moderator position. Thanks to the guys that nominated me though. You do have to laugh at how easily I get "culled" from the list after two independent nominations though - I don't think the intentions of those involved could...

    CW Union Committee Vote

    To be honest, when I read the thread about this earlier, I assumed it was a joke (it probably still is). Seriously, mate, what is this other than a relatively small social group of posters nominating and voting for each other, in a vain grab for some kind of power or influence as to how the...

    This must surely be CW's most spazz moment.

    Australian Ashes Songs vs Barmy Army

    :laugh: Maybe that could find it's way into a challenging little Aussie jingle.

    Censor stuff and moderation

    I wrote in a post yesterday about the niqab and burqa being a symbol of ****al domination, and then I saw today that the word had been added to the filter. Is it just me, or has the moderation been a bit OTT just of late? Sincerely, ****al is not a bad word. I understand that there has been...

    Asif, Aktar in Doping Charges

    Sure, and that's why we can't police it any differently at this point - we have to impose a penalty on the player no matter what, because if we don't, there will be little to stop people attempting it deliberately and getting away with it when caught. I'm just referring to the way the players...

    Cricinfo's New Live Scoring

    Yes, I was really enjoying the upmoded cricinfo stuff last night for the Pak vs SL game. Very nice. I also wonder if they've increased/upgraded their servers, 'cause I wasn't having nearly as much as the trouble I generally have when a major international with subcontinental participants is on.

    Battle of the Test captains

    Chappelli. If Border wins this, I've officially lost my faith in cricketweb posters.

    Group B - Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka

    Wow, amazing stuff from Pakistan, and Razzaq at the end. I really thought Sri Lanka had this one in the bag when they scored 250+. Sounds like Dilshan's drop was very costly, but you can't help but be impressed by Pakistan's ability to defy expectations. Picked SL to win the Trophy, too...

    Asif, Aktar in Doping Charges

    Maybe, but my point is more general. It's just too easy for a doctor to give a player something on the banned list, without the player being aware - recommended by the PCB or otherwise. IMO, the approach that ultimate responsibility be given to the player in all cases is a very much less than...

    Asif, Aktar in Doping Charges

    :laugh: One thing about this whole affair. I don't necessarily believe in the casual demonization of the players concerned, as often follows something like this. Fact is that doctors and trainers are generally employed on the basis of their effectiveness and recovery processes, so there's...

    *Gibbs Reveal More Names*

    It's how they introduce it. Money first - you now have a debt. From memory, Cronje received a fair number of gifts before the serious demands started being made. Once you've taken money from them, you've committed yourself. The bookies that paid Shane Warne and Mark Waugh for pitch reports...
