*Official* CW XI Media Coverage

Well which of those has he done?

Training camp = nothing.
Media: the one thing he's had to comment on he's buried his head in the sand.
Selection: doesn't even have a say.

How do you know? Judging by the standards of selection, he's had very much of a say... :p
You're just bitter at being kicked out of the ODI squad. :p

How cool is CW Cricket!!!

I love it, very realistic!!!

This is an alternative reality for me, and I enjoy it. Coach and training camps, these features add to my reality. More features = more fun.

Is Don, is good.:cool:

Shouldn't marc be kicked out of the squad for his attitude problems?

I can't believe I missed selection. Unforgivable stuff.

Would there be an option avaliable to me to turn my back on Cricket Web and play for Canada at the world cup?

I call for you to be banned from CW cricket.

Personally, I'd say there's a bit of a difference between a one-off joke from Blaze and Marc's constant whinging and refusal to be involved with team activities. I'm pretty sure if, say, Justin Langer complained constantly in the media about how he didn't like the coach, or the coach didn't do anything for the team, he'd be disciplined for it.

I thought it was an obvious joke considering that I am not even a first choice member of my province let alone the cricket web XI.

It means nothing only because of attitudes like yours. To the majority of your team mates, it's been embraced.
So what change to the selection panel has been made then?

Because I seem to remember the last time things tried to be changed?

Marc, what are you trying to acheive by arguing? If you have such qualms over the necessity of having a coach - then surely the idea of having actual members as players is also equally unnecessary?

You can't put staff members on ignore.

I think Rob voiced my thoughts very well. The coach is just as important as player activity. They're both here to make everything more enjoyable and get more people involved. I honestly wouldn't care if the coach had absolutely no power over selections and didn't organise the pre-series training sessions. It's the thought that counts, much like posting in a thread celebrating a team win.

Maybe Marc's just role playing the bitter man to make things interesting. Or maybe he's actually bitter. Either way, I for one am not the kind to be very proud to have such a player on our national side that constantly deflates the spirit of cricket within our fine country. I find it to be a very rare occurance that he gives anyone support, with the possible exception of supporting another player in degrading a part of this system.

Is this really the right kind of attitude to have when representing CWLand? As far as I'm concerned, it's just not cricket.

Also, would I be correct if I was to say that since the introduction of a coach, our success rate has increased on the international scene?
