Apology

I have taken my eye off the ball a little in the last week or so and have published a few posts without reading them carefully. I can make an excuse for a few too many commitments from parents on both sides, but..

Could you please ensure that comments about players are not personal. They have been getting too close to the bone of late and that is not what this site is about.

Irrespective of whether they are not scoring runs and taking wickets, they are OUR players and representing OUR club. Cricket is a fickle game, as anyone who has played it will know.

No one sets out to fail but sometimes things don't go your way. At times it seems like the middle of your bat has gone forever, but we shouldn't forget that they are still trying their best.

For some of them, the games until the end of the season represent perhaps their last games in first class cricket. If that is the case, they still deserve respect for being in the top 0.1% of cricketers in the country, good enough to play at first-class level.

Please remember that when you post.

Thank you.
