I have just had to delete more than 20 posts, and there are still some left to go. The main culprit is James W.
The following are considered spam:
Posts that repeat commentary from elsewhere.
Posts that contain only the score.
Posts that are along the lines of "Symonds is in", "Six from Ponting", "Ponting is out"
One word posts.
Just one more of these will see this thread get closed.
Any complaints about this in the thread will also be considered spam, and will close the thread.

Its alright mate, no worries. It was great 30-40 minutes. We all had fun. Now I probably won't post here until the test begins.James_W said:haha, you must be joking mate! i was keeping them updated as cricinfo was slow or something.

A reminder as to what constitutes spam:
Posts that repeat commentary from elsewhere.
Posts that contain only the score.
Posts that are along the lines of "Symonds is in", "Six from Ponting", "Ponting is out"
One word posts.
Posting this sort of thing is fine, as long as it isn't the enitre content of your post.
If you want to post "Symonds hits a six!", then also post about why it was such a good shot.
If you want to post "Ponting is out", then also describe the dismissal.
If you want to post the score, comment on the game situation at the time too.
