*Official* Training Camp (West Indies Tour)

[Robertinho]

I heard he had an intense beat-off session the night before. But for his sake, let's just say he did it in full keeping gear.

Will Dobson and Singh be missing their matches in club cricket?

Neither signed for a team.

Kenny signed for KFC.

 

[steds]

I thought it was Maccas?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I thought it was Maccas?

It's the same difference really. Just that one compresses its "meat" into patties.

 

[steds]

I actually think the main difference is the 75p an hour more KFC offer.

So this bleep test will be really handy to find out if we can take quick 50s off pushes to the off side...

 

[Pratters]

Maybe you can suggest some thing next time to add to every thing rather than just being critical. I had notified regarding beep tests before the camp started and have always been willing to listen to feedback.

It is too late to tamper too much with the schedule of the camp.

 

[marc71178]

Here's a suggestion - give up the idea of a "coach"?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Because it's unnecessary and does nothing to affect the sim? True. Here's an idea Marc: let's give up the idea of captains, and team members at that. Neither classifications affect the sim in any way. Player X commenting on how thrilled he is at his performance for Durham does nothing to affect the sim, it only enhances the experience. Unnecessary really. Let's just make the CW XI an entirely simulated procedure by stripping away all human interaction and general interaction of any sort. That would make it oodles more fun!

Just chill. The point of the CW XI is that it's interactive. A coach adds to the interactivity of it all. Essentially it's all meant to be fun, but you just can't seem to allow it to be. Lovely.

Finally, someone makes a sensible post

 

[Tom Halsey]

Cut him some slack, for Christ's sake.

Brett Lee does seven weetbix, you'll be right

 

[Loony BoB]

I used to have, like, 8-12 every morning. When those ads came on I was all "haha, I'm cooler than those guys".

 

[age_master]

lol 8-12 is excessive
