CW Awards for 12th - 18th May 2008

Boycotting in protest damn it.

I had you down for the SKull Award, but then you spoiled it by not saying anything funny.

Do you know something we don't about old Garfield?

Haha.

Thought his sixth fingers (and thus a rare joint [well, rare joints] joining them to hands) was common knowledge?

 

[honestbharani]

congrats to all winners.

Actually I guess we could incorporate Patel into the Agarkar\Mohammed, if you could manage to get a few more people following the JPAS. Agarkar and Mohammed have had to earn it through their fanboys on CW (Marc Robbins and Sean Bennett respectively) garnering a massive following - it can't be done just on one person plugging the case.

I said Jeetan Patel damn it.

congrats to all winners.

Here we go again, looks like HB hasn't changed a bit.

I'm referring to him posting the same exact thing in every edition of the awards throughout the last stint.

 

[Richard]

Nah, Honest and ss's "congrats to all winners " and "dire" (respectively) posts are parts of the Awards which are now essential viewing and unthinkable to part from.

Honest hasn't missed-out the last 3 weeks either BTW. He was straight back in immediately the Awards were restarted. I'd expect nothing less either.

Thanks, not exactly sure which posts made you all feel I was reasonably knowledgeable this week, but it's nice to have a CW award

Dont tempt fate my dear. Richard may count you out for ever on 'first chance' criteria.

Kidding.

On second thoughts (and on checking up) Richard you got to be kidding.

This is not a commentary on the quality of halfpastyellow's posts (intriguing name I must say) but during the week in question he posted a grand total of two posts !

In the IPL discussion thread on 17th May

Sums up just how important mental toughness is in sport. All the whispers point to excellent morale in the Jaipur camp and poor morale and management in the Bangalore camp. Pure player ability plays second fiddle to these sorts of considerations.

and in the New Zealand in England thread on 18th

Southee has bowled 3 overs. Why, pray tell me, was he played in this test over Mason/O'Brien again?

Seems like the NZ selectors have been influenced a bit too much by media hype. Unusual really, they've usually been good at ignoring the tripe that gets dished up over selection.

Are you sure , Richard ??

It's possible that I was counting posts which were a day or two out. I've done that once or twice, and so have others - it's inevitable from time to time.

Quality is not an essential ingredient for the Sir Geoffrey Award, however. Yes, more than 2 posts would generally be expected, and as I say I probably allowed a day or two to overlap.

But I've given Sir Geoffreys to people who've barely posted in the week in question before now.
