*Official* Season 11 Discussion and Results

Subacka!!!!! Today you've become a man.

Lovely batting from Stedders amidst the latest controversy. Stuff Blacks.

 

[GotSpin]

Good to play again despite the loss.

Just because my opinion is known doesn't mean my opinion doesn't count. That's just... weird. Not sure why everyone is up in arms that I (effectively) said that I denounce the insulting of other members. Should I be promoting profanity and insults as the PA Rep? Of course not. However, this thread isn't about me (or Smith, or Camps - I think they're sorting out their differences in a private environment, maturely enough requested by Smith), this thread is about the cricket. So back to that.

Also, Goff is in the panel.

You're missing the point. As PA Rep you're supposed to be representing the interests of the players, regardless of whether you agree or disagree privately. It becomes difficult for you to do this without being disingenuous if you've already spoken out against the player concerned.

Anyway, good win Blue. Happy that I was able to do something useful in OD for a change.

 

[Dravid]

only 19...bit upset...tough loss green.

Hmm, Adam seems fairly clued up on this.

Adamc=Tim May?

 

[dinu23]

[James90]

[SupaFreak2005]

WOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! YEAH!!!!! WE GOT A WIN YAY!
Good stuff from the guys!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Great to have a win.

Bit surprised I played to be honest, given that most of the other ODI players didn't. Nice to make some runs for Blue anyway.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Subacka and Stedman you freakin' guns. That's a great win, and about time too.

It's too bad Subacka will probably be inactive soon.

 

[pasag]

I'm in horrible form. So close Colts.

 

[Smudge]

Well done on screwing the margins, SupaFreak.

 

[Cloete]

Great win from the boys. Collins was brilliant, great bowling.

Personally, pretty ****ing disappointed to be left out. Sure, my 4D form has been crap, but I thought I'd done little wrong in OD. Oh well, atleast we won.

Blame the selectors. They last picked an OD team with decent players when CW were still playing Tests.

 

[Loony BoB]

Das finally shows his form of seasons past and we lose. Ouch.

There are players who have complained to me about certain other players and their attitudes and therefore I was representing the interests of the players when I mentioned the profane insult to the CWBCC & captains, who, it is worth noting, were already discussing the need for a revised and more visible code of conduct at the time.

 

[mikeW]

great win blacks, finnally a one day win.

Indeed, I agree with you in that regard, but this specific issued concerns a player v the board, and in such a case you should always as PA Rep be siding with the interests of the player.

 

[Loony BoB]

I always debate in the interests of the players - if the interests of the players is to see less profanity and abuse, then what do I do when one player accepts his punishment immediately? I also accept his punishment immediately and hope that the rest of the players in this league can now benefit from a better environment as a result of action being taken when people go against the wishes of the players who, in more cases than not from what has been brought up with me, want to get rid of outright abuse in the Dev League.

I have respect for Smith for what he did in accepting his punishment, I must say.
