Talk to me on MSN mate

 

[DJellett]

Can't - @ work - no MSN

 

[NikhilN]

Well we are gonna have to talk about it before I do let you defend me

 

[DJellett]

Fair enough.

 

[Loony BoB]

Funny how the people defending him are (yet again) those newer members.

The hidden words behind that statement are very encouraging to new members to CW XI, I'm sure, particularly for the newer CW Red players under your captaincy. How disheartening, even for me as a member of the CW XI in general.

Personally, just because I support a fair trial doesn't mean I support the guy. You've punished members of CW XI previously for things they have said - are the words you said any better? Just a thought. I've nothing against you but I felt the spirit of the CW XI go down a notch when I read that post.

EDIT: To clarify, by CW XI I mean the forum and it's subforums (ie the CW Dev League).

 

[marc71178]

I have been a CWXI member since I joined.

All of 7 months Veteran there

AND I am not defending him, I am simply stating that the way YOU have handled it is disgraceful.

Based on what? Because I've spoken out (and incidentally have the backing of almost every major CW player?)

How is what I've done disgraceful, but the initial problem not?

You have turned it into a personal attack on Nikhil.

Rich coming from you and the post you've just made in 2 threads.

I assume you've looked at the evidence (which tends to be a major part of any court case)

The reasoning behind that post (and the others I made when he came out of retirement the first time) is that these people weren't actually around when the initial incident happened, and can't get to grips with the impact it had on people around at that time.

 

[Loony BoB]

I've known people who had been doing my job for six times the length I'd been doing it and I ended up training them. I also know people half my age that can beat me in a game of chess after I'd only taught them a month beforehand. While I do respect that it is more likely for the experienced members to have better knowledge on things, I also feel there is no reason to give disrespect to the youth. Rolling your eyes at their statements isn't something you'd expect a respectable player to do, let alone offer them sarcasm as a retaliation. I don't have a personal problem with you, marc, but can you please stop speaking to people in a condescending manner based on how long they've been playing the game? I was never good at English, but I think that's called prejudice, and I know that prejudice is one thing that should no longer plague the game of cricket.

It would have been nicer to say that instead of what you said originally. I know I've seen you say it before, and it must annoy you to have to repeat yourself, but you also have to keep in mind that the new members are just as important to cricket as the older members are, and we should be shown respect. But thanks for the explanation of why you were saying it, I guess. It sounded a lot nicer when you put it that way. The wording people use, the things people say in CW XI... I've noticed that you personally know that they mean a lot.

Maybe that says something about the morals of the newer members. Just because we don't hopon the "lets ostracise people" bandwagon, and when a few of the older CW players say jump, we don't ask "how high?" doesn't mean we don't grasp the situation.


Sure, Nikhil's done wrong. I am ready to admit that, but he cares about Indian cricket. He is just saying what he thinks. Marc says what he thinks, especially since he wasn't named in the squad for the first test against Sri Lanka. He's pretty much said the board is incompetant. Who is ostracising him? No one. So, how is Nikhils case different?

For Gods sake, at least give him a fair trial.

thats why the forum saves everything mate...they didnt need to be around then...everything you found out about the case was from the forum because we never talked on MSN...and thats how they can find out

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Neither did Hitler, does that mean he wasn't guilty?

Your comparing Nikhil to Hitler ??!!! Now how far have we stepped on the plank?

For Gods sake, at least give him a fair trial.

Like Liam said before and im saying it now.. the Board will go with the trial , and nikhil will get a fair trial..

 

[Blewy]

I will stand up now and say this...

I don't accept Nikhil's comments, They were wrong.. I also don't accept the fact that he has retired and come out of retirment more times then Neil has Test match ducks , however i have faith that the CWBCC will hand down a punishment which is worthy...

I suggest people refrain from commenting UNTIL such time as the CWBCC has a chance to deal with it and hand down any punishment...

 

[Don]

hey hitler was innocent man.he was with me the whole time.





just had to put some sort of humor b4 heads start being bashed in

 

[lord_of_darkness]

^ bwahahaha... lmao..



Be Careful i say... with comments like those you will get people putting bullets on ya back...

 

[Neil Pickup]

The issue at hand is not something about being new or young.

It's the fact that people weren't here when the betrayal occured... you can read a thread after it's happened, but it's not the same as being there when the posts are flying.

You reckon that players should want to lose a game? Cos I don't.

 

[Slats4ever]

can we just play like a big bloody game of tug of war or something. it's the most sensible idea at getting a solution. Whichever side wins get's there way...

I think the no's would win because there's like 4 times the amount on that team...

I'm sure tug of war was how these things were decided in the past.

Well, a lot of us reckon that would make a lot of sense, but apparently we need to go through a trial in the name of human rights.
