I've been on this site for roughly 3 or 4 weeks so I might as well introduce myself.

Hi everyone.

A bit about me: love sport especially Cricket, AFL and racing. I also love aviation too.

I used to play cricket but had to stop due to back problems. So I became an umpire. I used to umpire pathway cricket in Western Australia's premier cricket competition - Western Australia Premier cricket which is the pathway to bigger things. I stopped umpiring in 2016.

Was lucky to have a few First Class/T20 players in my games on some occasions when they came back to club cricket. For example having Brad Hogg in some of my games was always good fun - good player as we know.

Anyway, I'm enjoying this forum and great to meet to many cricket fans on here

Have a great Christmas everyone and all the best for 2023.

Cheers.

Hey all,

My name is Imran from London. I'm a cricket writer and club level leg spinner. Love playing, writing, and talking about cricket. I'm currently working on a cricket fiction book. I've been lurking around the leg spinner forums for ages and decided I should join and contribute.

Recently joined here, England and Sussex fan but love all cricket. A healthy interest in Women's Cricket as I helped coach a local Girl's team - my daughter played County Youth Cricket before packing it in at 17.

Previously posted on Cricket 24/7 but that seems to have disappeared since Christmas, anyone know what's happened to it?

Hi Ali, do you know what happened at C247? Is Chin ok? Sure you've worked out already who I was there.

Who were you at 24/7? It is a shame as the forum had been going to 15 years and has now died. No one able to set up another.

From what I know after being a mod for the last year of its existence was that the hosting was out of date and needed an upgrade. It kept failing and I think chin had enough so asked the hosts to delete it. A shame and unfortunately I didn't have any contact details with chin or the other mods when it went down the last time.

A shame, although the number of posters had definitely reduced over the years. The County fans in particular will miss out though. I kind of miss my sparring with Pet and Jock...

I did for many years, but the debates over COVID wore me down. We came quite close to shutting the lounge down at one point!

Such a storied history of **** fights and recriminations for that forum. Must have been going more like 20 years, despite the sell off and the great banning. I still have a copy of that really long story thread somewhere. That in itself must be 15 years old.
