Slightly peeved !

It saddens me somewhat that during this rich vein of cricket the Irish team are enjoying, that some people still can't except that Ireland are a legitimate cricketing nation !

Something to do with flags,borders & land-mass etc. which I really don't know what that all has to do with sport, but some people will not bunch an inch !

So I composed a tribute poem to these begrudgers and ney-sayers, called 'The three Ameobi' which I thought was very fitting and appropriate, read all about them @ victoriacricketclub.co.uk and click onto the Vic Johns blog.

Cheers.

Don't worry we are not forcing you to vote if you dont want to.

It was only a polite request to support cricket against the other sports.

I don't think all the other sports are using your suggestion.

Basically its get as many votes clocked up as you can.

Thanks anyway
Andy

A massive congratulations to the Irish cricket team after their amazing 3 wicket win over England last week. I just wanted to take a minute to direct you to a story I've just written with CSNI captain Nigel Jones speaking to me from his hotel room in Bangalore ahead of their third match against India on Sunday.

All the best to the team. You have the support of everyone here in New Zealand!

Much as I applaud the performance of the Templepatrick Under 15's surely the Newtownabbey awards should be voted for by people from the Borough of Newtownabbey.

listen folks - there is a posting on the Cricket Ireland forum from the Nihoniho family in Christchurch that puts all this c**p into perspective.

"A.N - again READING & WRITING - two different subjects - in your case - " - what complete balderdash. Reading and writing are indeed two different subjects but they are not disconnected in your previous rambling. "If you READ my notes" you say. Presumably you wrote them and had you done so with clarity then there could be no mistaking your meaning; you would have no cause for criticising others who incorrectly decipher your messages.

I suggest that you need to spend your money on enrolling yourself on that communication course rather than enrolling everyone who reads this forum. In these times of austerity it makes so much more sense. Typing slips are excusable but not such badly constructed sentences.

Also bored, but only with your ramblings.

Enough on this topic.

A.N - again READING & WRITING - two different subjects - in your case - "wurds donnt com eazy"...........better to have a slip of the keyboard and hold convictions for one's thoughts than waffle - or is that waffel? Bored............

re DK

Perhaps the equally anonymous DK should learn to write with clarity before criticising the reading ability of others. Not shouting would help also.

tedious - will enroll you in reading classes and communications - if you READ my notes it discusses cricket for all..........! International, Provincial, Club and at all ages - sadly you and some others prove one of my points - you just DON'T understand - oh and this 'armchair critic' played more cricket at every level than you'll ever know - that's whyu i can relax in my chair now and speak with clarity.........folk like you bore me with you lack of understanding from a polaying point-of-view, admin and business acumen but as i said - we all have an opinion or i propose you move to Libya and set up the LCC with the good General as Patron a la Zimbabwe. Its a rap!

DK,
I think M Parks got you right.
Pretty boring stuff really and your criticism of everything is tedious. This is still an amateur sport not an international corporate. Delegates go to AGMs and express their views, votes are taken that reflect them, and committees do their best to run things on behalf of all the clubs. Guys like you offer nothing and speak for nobody.
UR entitled to your opinion but time to move on to something more interesting.
