And fining someone else out of MY match fee is really professional from the CWBCC. It's human nature to be upset to be fined the first time, but I admit i deserved it. It's a ****ing disgrace that the rest of my match fee gets taken off me because of what Gareth said. I didn't force him to say that. He's not my puppet and I don't have my hand up his back. So why the ****adoodledoo punish me? The CWBCC is being unfair in its treatment of me.

Sean, has the message not gotten through yet? Let me clarify. Less profanity. No profanity. It's really not that hard. Show some self control.

Honestly Sean, aren't you embarrassed?

We have to keep things clean for the f***ing kids

So, Liam, are you going to address any of that or do you just want me to post some more profanities so you can slap my wrist again?

Some points...

1. Gooljar doesn't get paid, so there is no match fee to fine.
2. If you're threatening to continue to use profanity against me or the CWBCC then go right ahead. I can't do anything about the two regular season games you'll be injured for, but trust that you will be suspended.
3. Life's a beach. Why so uptight?

...but that's still no reason to fine me

I'm not threatening. It just seemed you only took notice of the swear words I posted.

The whole thing just seems stupid and unfair. You aim to be as realistic as possible, yet, would you see the ICC fine Habibul Bashar for something Simon Katich said? Of course not! So why does the CWBCC do similar?

I have to agree with Sean.

I have to hope that the whole thing was in jest and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

What a 5D debut.

I think that for me, a 70 and an 80 was better than a 100 and 10 or what not.

In form now

Team, we didn't play too badly, but we lost, never good, but not full strength.

GO REDS!!!

I agree with Towns. I think it was all in jest.

Brilliant game by Willo there. First innings was poor, but happy to get my first decent score in the practice matches, even if I couldn't crack the ton.

Nice win for the team, and again pleased with my own performance and I hope I can continue it into the season proper. Some encouraging bowling too.

Good for the second string to get some game time and some wickets, should put some of these young'uns in their place following their opening two wins. It's not as easy as it looks!

Good début for Izquierdo, but very disappointed to let the Colts lower order back into the game having had them 43-4 - not professional enough - good to see the last six fall for 61 second time around.

Incidentally, Sean, you've a long way to go before you match the extent of the fines I've suffered. I think the entire indoor school on the outskirts of the CW Oval was built with my match fees. And Test/ODI match fees are bigger

Oddly enough Sean, it's because of who it was directed at. (Bingo!)

Do we have any match fee system Sean? If I was really punishing you, don't you think you would be suspended? Sensible now...

Don't be stupid! How often have you known me to be sensible?

Wow. Top game. Top innings' from Dauth and Markus. Out undoing proved to be in the field in the first 10 overs (62 runs conceded) and especially the last 10 overs (95 runs conceded)

Huge amount of room for improvement with the death bowling, lads.

Yeaaah! Good win Colts Hancock unlucky to miss out on 100 though...but still a very good performance by our batters!
