What have you learned on the forum?

[hang on]

Not about international brotherhood and the debating skills of people from all over and the idiocy of stereotypes BUT about cricket and cricketers.

Happy chatting and chuntering!

apart from posting new threads on the right portion of the site, it should also be added.

MODs, could you please shift this thread to the general chat forum. Thanks.

 

[Teja.]

Done.

Being involved in drafts has given me some insight into players who played in the past. Learnt about plenty of players whom I have never even heard of.

Yeah this. Basically knew nothing about cricket history pre-1995 other than the really obvious stuff before I joined.

I joined this forum before I really followed cricket much at all, so way too much to mention really.

I never realised that fans placed so much difference between Tests and ODIs, like some people treat them as different sports.

Obviously I always felt we should select different sides etc, but I was genuinely shocked by some of the things I read early doors here.

Have learned a lot about the game too. Cricket was always just something I watched on my own at the point I signed up for this place so I got a lot more insight than I had had previously.

As previously documented, I also learned there was a site I could get ball-by-ball commentary of all England matches, as well as pretty much any stat ever, called cricinfo, via Cricket Web's forum. True story.

thanks for the responses so far. even an an old fart like me, who thought he knew it all, has learned quite a bit about different players, and more importantly, the different ways of evaluating players, their performances, their peers etc. have learned quite a bit about some of the great pakistani players. the details and the nuances of their records, that is.
the inner workings of oz cricket as discussed on the contracts thread etc. has also been rather enlightening.

as you young 'uns say, "it's been real!" hope it stays that way.

more responses from u lot, please!

I have learned that there are quite a lot of NZ supporters out there.I always felt the number was pretty low.

Most people just HATE cricket over here tbh,
so there aren't that many supporters out here.

I've learnt that if you want to avoid a lot of grief its a good idea not to employ the words Bradman and Tendulkar in the same post

I don;t post in hère that often..

I've come to appreciate test matches much more after joining this forum.. I was typical Indian fan who used to enjoy their ODI cricket more than Test matches but it has changed for me over the past few years.

Also have learned a lot about past players from some of the old guys in here and also come to appreciate some of the up and coming youngsters from around the world.

I followed cricket a little bit; just casually though. I was a big rugby league fan and had experienced rugby league forums, so I thought joining a cricket forum seemed like a logical way to learn more about the game. I joined up because I wanted to follow the game more closely and learn more about it from other fans, and it worked.
