Having read through the last few pages, I think I'll avoid playing Angry 'Fair Play Creed' Pixel for the moment until he proves that he is willing to play in the spirit of the game.
As Stevie said, he and I both used custom fields when playing each other, but neither of us were so moronic to:
1) Kill the game by putting everyone on the boundary in the last over or so (and before) to ensure he wins rather than win by his own good play.
2) Despite having been heavily criticised for doing that, to then go and have that ridiculous attacking field when he must know that bowling in the yellow markers will make it virtually impossible for his opponent to not offer a catching chance when playing an attacking shot.![facepalm :facepalm :facepalm](/forums/styles/planetcricket/xenforo/smilies/facepalm2.gif)
I think custom fields should still be allowed, but within reason (ie. max of 4-5 players on the boundary, like in real life.) I'd also advocate banning short cover, as the catching potential of that position is just ridiculously unrealistic. Anyone who fails to conform to these basics should be named and shamed (pref. with screenshots) by their opponents, like the_gas and Earl have done on here.
