Also, with regards to Dauth, Blackman was alongside Dauth in needling Weber, yet he gets to go to the Caribbean? Both of them still have "Tarique" posts in their signature still.

So Timewell gets away with being inactive for months and months and I don't post on the forums since Saturday and I'm suddenly "unavailable"?
Sounds like it...

For the record, as I was away for 3 days last week, does that mean I've now been deemed inactive?

1000 runs and a great season with the gloves not enough for Jasotharan. Looks like he's been filed under the "Dean Jones Category" to me...
Well, seeing as Dauth missed out for what appears to be non-Cricketing reasons to an extent, maybe the A side don't want someone who'll moan if he doesn't open the batting, bowling and keep?

Don't be ridiculous. Sean made a comment that he may stop posting on the forums altogether, then didn't post anything for the following days. His initial exclusion from the squad was always going to be temporary if he returned within the period of the tour. If he didn't, all would be fair anyway. It's not as though his spot was given to someone else.

But by the same token, he had returned by then - he certainly made more posts in that time than others have made in months.

You've got to be kidding me Jack

Meh. You both did.

Just playing devil's advocate, really. And trying to stir the pot a bit.

Practicing for when I try out for Big Brother ;)

Dauth not fussed
by Pablo Arela

Rob Dauth has released a statement following the media's interest in his nonselection. "I am not overly fussed, it's an honour to play for the CW 'A' and it's not something given out lightly. Every single person selected is fully deserving and I hold no grudges," he explained. "I was, however, disappointed at the reason given. A simple explanation that I wasn't up to the standard required would've been sufficient - I find it funny that I am singled out for having a 'poor attitude' when I'm not the only individual - or the worst - to be guilty of such. However, that's neither here nor there," he continued, "I'm disappointed not to be included, but I'm sure everyone else not selected is equally disappointed. I fully support the board of selectors and their decisions, and I wish the 'A' squad the best of luck on their tour."

As vice-captain he's best qualified to effectively stand in for Andre, who is out of the fray for the moment. The Panel will reorganized properly before Season 10.
The only thought I had, had since the post, was isn't Pickup the A Team coach?

That's also pretty much the sum of that.

My Statement:

While I was very happy (if not very surprised) to be included in the CW 'A' Squad, I feel that the exclusion of Rob Dauth was wrong. We both did the same thing, and just because Tarique got angry at Rob, doesn't mean what he did was any worse. Rob was possibly the best batsman this year, and if he isn't in this squad for such a stupid reason, I don't know if I should be....

Well if we put a similar policy to that of players deemed inactive, shouldn't Andre be officially dead and buried? Come on - show some backbone.
