Disgraceful! You're represent the whole of CWLand and are role models to thousands of kids. Fine example this team is setting!

 

[Pratters]

Some people get fooled quite easily.

 

[David]

Chairman of the CWBCC trying to undermine the new coach? Disgraceful!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Some people get fooled quite easily.

I don't see the relevance or the appropriateness. Don't make the camp boycott bigger.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The CWBCC can confirm that there will indeed be no strippers at the camp.

 

[Blewy]

Im concerned at the scheduling of the camp..

We are playing 2 OD warmups and 1 Two-Day warm up leading into a test series....

I think this needs to be looked into...

 

[age_master]

The camp only goes for a week though so i have a feeling longer matches might be a little hard - any match practice is better than a net session.

 

[roseboy64]

Interesting schedule. Hopefully none of the talks will be centred on antics by roommates if u get ma drift, likened to the A Tour.

No not really... How can you prepare for a test Series when your playing OD Cricket??

 

[ash chaulk]

yeah 2 day cricket would be a lil better to shorten the days i would think

p.s. i like the day 5 idea tbh

 

[Pratters]

Some people cannot handle jokes properly I guess.

As Liam said, there will be no strippers at the camp.

 

[Pratters]

Don't make the camp boycott bigger.

1) I had nothing to do with the first boycott as I categorically stated.

2) If people want to boycott camps based on a joke, it is not my problem.

I think we should all focus on making the most out of the camp as a team. I have tried my best to put up a constructive schedule for the camp. Suggestions on improving the same would be highly appreciated as there is still some time for the actual camp to start.

Also, as stated in the initial post,

Former CW XI players are welcome to participate in the camp and guide the current players in help they want in various departments like batting, bowling, fielding etc.

Talks by senior players on subjects of their choice (For example the captain, Goff, can speak on the pride of playing for the CW XI). Players welcome with suggestions for talks.

I would love to have some inputs in the above respects.

It was intimated by Liam to include 2 OD and 1 two day warm up match.

i did compare it to Net sessions...

there are ODI's on the tour as well though

 

[Cloete]

Out of interest, will guy's like Hakon and I be playing the OD games?

With regards to the speeches/seminars, you should probably indicate who you think the senior squad members are.

 

[marc71178]

I must say that I for one would decline to give any sort of talk / seminar even if asked.

I'm here to work on my Cricket, not spend hours public speaking.

 

[Nate]

...because it`s all about you? Surely some of the younger members could draw upon your experiences?

 

[marc71178]

No, because any training session is about practising for me, not spending hours preparing speeches.

Lol you obviously haven't played much cricket in real life.
