could you possibly make the weekly wraps a little less blunt. I don't know how many people read them, but if everytime they do and they hear ur personal opinions coming through so strongly and in such a manner, it gets a little off putting.
Saying stuff like "Cellar dwellers Tamil Nadu recorded another pathetic loss" (i didn't know u could dwell in a cell if you'd only been there for 2 weeks), "Their bowlers were terrible in a humiliating, 6 wicket loss" (why can't u just say the other teams batting was amazing), "The final game of the round I can’t be bothered talking about, the quality was so bad. So screw it." (that's a bit unfair for those managers who i'm sure get excited about reading about their games), "Division 4 produced matches of a good quality" (your division always seems to get praise), "As we sink lower down the ranks to the more useless teams" (that's just low man and doesn't need to be said), "worst and second worst sides in WCC respectively" (leave this sort've things for talk in forums, not in articles where you're supposed to be reporting on games, not your opinion).
In saying that I do appreciate your efforts in writing the wraps, but maybe tone it down a little, praise more teams, and more people will be happy.

Agreed. I read it and thought jeez hes goin a bit hard on some of us this week.
LOL sorry mate.Slats4ever said:
And yeah you're right I was being a bit harsh there...
The reason for it was that I felt my earlier one was a bit boring so I wanted to spice it up a little...lol my stupid mistake...maybe next week ill try to be a bit nicer...
Is there any other suggestions (apart from obviously not to be so blunt) of ways to improve the weekly wrap
One last thing...the reason I was so harsh on TN is becos its just so great to see em lose...honestly it is...becos everyone knows they'll pull themselves up and get close to promotion...

Atleast... we hope we'll pull ourselves up. OD is becoming more important now though, we need 2nd for the sake of prize money. If we win div 1 4D then, and only then,I won't mind too much where we come in OD, but it's always nice to win!Mr. P said:LOL sorry mate.

As far as I'm concerned the bowling was pathetic though... Queensland batted out of their skin and my bowlers bowled crap. I did know the bowling wasn't strong this season, but we were hoping to defend 291!
