cricket section

by Guest Mon 31 Oct 2011, 7:32 pm

First topic message reminder :

its really good to see that the cricket section has really taken off. I remeber at the start when there was only a handful of us, and now there's so many of us making a lot of posts and threads, good to see the cricket section, and the site going from strength to strength everyday thumbsup

morning lads just a flying visit from me....im skippering the side in a new year's day game today Smile

by Corporalhumblebucket Sun 01 Jan 2012, 11:40 am

If the game's outdoors I imagine there could be a few LBWs with the ball skidding through at mud height..... Whistle

by Guest Sun 01 Jan 2012, 3:51 pm

surely the v2 awards results can come down now....

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 03 Jan 2012, 3:52 pm

At the end of this week.

The quiz doesn't warrant being a sticky at the moment, cf, given how little activity there is on it. It'll bump back to the top when someone posts on it, so I don't think there is a need for it to be stickied.

Better to keep the top of the page free and uncluttered, I'd say.

by Guest Tue 03 Jan 2012, 4:03 pm

hmmmmm...ok.

by **Fists of Fury** Thu 05 Jan 2012, 10:51 am

Guys, as you know I'm always looking at ways to further increase the membership of the cricket section...however, any ideas any of you may have would also be appreciated, who has any? Anyone coming forth with a good one gets a Ale

Cheers

fists, straight off the bat I would suggest a pm to all the posters on 606v2 who hail from the test playing nations.

Don't know if you can sort a list from where people hail, but a personal invite might make them interested, even if they like me are mostly rugby fans.

You could even incorporate some form of debate competition between the cricket and rugby guys ( don't know what) it could at least get them interacting a bit.

How about a game (In Australia)?

All fares to be paid by mods Very Happy

by **Fists of Fury** Thu 05 Jan 2012, 11:13 am

Biltong, there's no quick way that we can find out where everyone hails from, I'm afraid, and doing so along with sending a PM to each isn't really feasible in terms of the hours it'd take.

There are certainly a number of posters on 606v2 that are in to their cricket but don't often debate on the cricket section, but they do at least see that the section is here, and may wish to stop by from time to time, in which case we can hopefully trap them here! Wink

I'm thinking more outside of 606v2, to entice new members entirely, any thoughts? Things like mentioning 606v2 on our personal facebook accounts etc can help, too.

Stella, if we ever get such money it'll be arranged Wink

by Guest Fri 06 Jan 2012, 1:32 pm

didnt bother making new topic for this as pointless but...

if aussies whitewash india, then south africa move back up into 2nd in the test rankings ahead of india.

Nothing terribly original I'm afraid. But just to remind again about the Surrey posters who are currently only on a summer contract with 606v2. En bloc they've all done more than enough to merit full contracts. Hopefully they will reappear in about March so Guildford and I with others' assistance could aim again to draw them in. There's some real quality there Very Happy

Totally agree.

Will also help getting Peter May into the Hall of Fame. Wink

hey guys sorry for inactivity over last few days, however am back now, and looking forward to getting back to posting again Smile

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 25 Jan 2012, 4:17 pm

Take a look at this guys http://www.alloutcricket.com/

Our friends at All Out Cricket have kindly added a link to their 606v2 discussion of the week on the right hand side of their website main page. Hopefully it'll see us get a few more new members.

As always, I'd encourage you to take a look at the blogs on their site (and enter their competitions, they have some superb ones!), there is some excellent stuff.

Cheers

Gone past 50,000 posts clap

by **Fists of Fury** Thu 26 Jan 2012, 8:39 am

That's worth a raise of the bat. Well done, all.

by eirebilly Thu 26 Jan 2012, 2:45 pm

Thats a fair effort. I do like chatting with you all on here Very Happy

by GG Fri 27 Jan 2012, 5:55 pm

Just had a look at this http://www.v2journal.com/cricket.html Who's Andrew Bloxham? Well whoever you are, well done on the 2nd test article, very well written.

by **Fists of Fury** Thu 02 Feb 2012, 9:04 pm

Off skiing for a week guys. Enjoy the Test, I'll try to catch up with the scores from my mobile. Play nicely (not that I need to tell the best behaved section on this entire site that), and I'll see you in a week.

by **Fists of Fury** Thu 02 Feb 2012, 9:06 pm

Oh and just ask Sainty or Kiwi to sticky the Test match thread for you thumbsup

Take it easy, all.

3rd on the 606v2 all-time runscorers list isn't bad CF, behind KingKenny and Linebreaker.

hey guys am thinking about running a county championship fantasy league to run in line with the season when it starts, would anyone be up for taking part?

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 14 Mar 2012, 11:10 am

absolutely, wouldn't be easy to administrate, though. A lot of work in that.

Presumably you have to pay to join the online ones like the Times etc?

Most fantasy leagues are free, Fists.

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 14 Mar 2012, 11:13 am

oh, just The Sun that rips people off, then.

by Beer Wed 14 Mar 2012, 11:20 am

Yep. But i think it's because they do the £100,000 prize, where as most others is either an opt in thing or just your standard fantasy league.

What has happened, cf?

by Guest Tue 10 Apr 2012, 1:19 pm

there's many reasons, which i dont want to post on here but i am leaving the site

by **Fists of Fury** Tue 10 Apr 2012, 1:20 pm

PM me, if you don't mind.

CF - I hope you reconsider. Your enthusiasm is an important part of this forum. Best, Guildford.

by Shelsey93 Tue 10 Apr 2012, 1:44 pm

I'd like to second what Guildford has said. Sometimes you might feel hard done by and not listened to (and obviously I don't know why you are leaving), but we really do appreciate your enthusiastic contributions.

Too late, fellas. Cricketfan gave me his reasons, all of which I respect. His account hasn't been deleted, though, in case he should ever wish to return he needs only to send an email to the admin team.

A bit dramatic!

Oh, scratch that, I was incorrect. His account has been deleted, though he is of course free to return under a new account should he so wish.
