exactly. And I was having another go at your depth.
Nah look, it's important to be gracious in defeat, but I daresay it's more important to be gracious in triumph...

Awesome effort from Trav to last 29 balls in the second innings. Still couldn't score a run though.

Very true. Looks like the batting lessons are having an impact after all.
Danke, boys. I'm enjoying the lessons, atleast there is some hope I can last more than a couple of balls now.

Runs can come another year.

That might be some good advice for your team mates...

Kennett, your signature says 61 ducks .... please tell me that isn't up to date?
If so, i've leapfrogged you and lead by 9 .... how depressing.

thats not been updated since the start of last season, so I might have the record still.

Let the Colts bask in their vicotry. I guess, Wright is just playing this one up, since it doesnt happen very often..

The odd thing is that you'd expect the younger players to be the hot heads, not the captain surely...

So, it's only a problem when the shoe's on the other foot then? Had no problem when your former captain and experienced international fast bowler had a good laugh at a few Colts' losses hey?

Uh, cool, but more importantly it was advice directed at you...
When the Colts are finally shown the respect they deserve then I will offer it to other clubs. If we had of beaten Green and Blue in particular you would have not found this response from me. I think a few of your 'experienced' players need to show some more tact when winning.

No need to stoop to their level Kyle.TBH I think you've gone OTT.
Perhaps. But, so have all the people who like to refer to us as Yellows. We're the Colts get used to it. We also know we're not the strongest team, but it doesn't mean we should get laughed at for losing. We're trying.

Doesn't feel nice does it.

That's right, punish the whole team for a personal grudge against one or two players. Is this really the way for a senior player (one who accuses other senior players of acting inappropriately) to act with so much current controversy rife in the Dev league?

I wouldn't mind it if were just a bit of a laugh, but you're so malicious about it. if you're going to get personal, please direct it to the person, as afaik I've done nothing to deserve such attacks, as I consider your attacks have been highly indiscriminate.

if you have a problem with other peoples behaviour, please bring it to the attention of the appropriate people, and don't respond in kind. You're just as bad as them.

LOL.

Personal attacks?...please.

It is all a bit of a laugh. I haven't taken any of it personally, and I didn't think anyone would take what I have said personally. I apologise if I've gone over the line, but I don't think I have.

I wrote a small article in the Media thread and made a few little comments in various threads that I thought were harmless. Maybe I posted a few more posts then I should have, but I haven't deliberately offended anyone or gone out of my way to abuse anyone.

I've stood up for my team, which is what I'm supposed to do.

Such a condescending attitude. You've posted some pretty inflammatory things for mine, and I'm sure if they were directed at your team, you'd feel the same.

The written word can be hard to convey tone, and to me, your posts have come off as rather serious.

Maybe not, but the quantity of posts was disturbing.

Nice edit. EDIT <- Stupid comment by me, my apologies.
You might notice my point about being indiscrimate. Whilst I know none were directed at me specifically, you still, seemily to me, let fly at the entire team.
