OD Match Thread Round 8, Match 22 - Hugging Muffins v The Demons

[Perfect Square]

Hopefully we can defend this one. Muller is back in form and that is a good sign for The Demons

 

[Umair7]

Can we win this ?

 

[Biggs]

Batter up, team.

 

[Till Valhalla]

We lost a bit control in the middle over but Matt and everyone else bounced back well.

 

[Biggs]

Yeah, gonna need the top order to fire. That's a big score to chase down.

He is a human too and he has a life outside this site which is much more important that post a match. Be patient he'll give his best.

 

[Biggs]

he has a life outside this site which is much more important that post a match

All due respect, but I'm getting pretty f%$king tired of hearing that all the time in this forum. We ALL have lives outside the site. We all come here for fun, it's not work do any of this and if there's staff claiming that running a pretend league in an online forum is back-breaking work, there's half a dozen people who would put their hand up to do it, that I've seen. So yeah, we can park that line of chat thanks.

It's dull and insulting to the people who actively enjoy, participate and contribute around here and the other people that are running the league. We're all here to have fun, nobody is suggesting anything else. I don't understand the logic of posting MORE matches when there's 3 that are yet to be completed posted over 10 days ago, makes no sense to me. But what do I know?

...also you're in the wrong thread again.

 

[Deleted member 149013]

Wrong thread I know.
The games are moving slowly and that will make people lose interest there isn’t many active ones left compared to the pages of applications.

This I will protect admin/staff/sim members rubbish posted from members so one day maybe I can be one is getting old. The people constantly sucking up why? what for it just makes you look desperate. Leave this human alone, stop been bad to the human you make human cry, stop been nasty to human. We are not that far advanced we share the world with robots yet.

I don’t understand some admin/staff member’s full stop, sim aside. There is a line that once a member is made one they will change. That’s not to say all admin/staff members fall into this category and this is not me digging for trouble but how I see it.

The quietness and I will choose to ignore you option because I can is what I am getting at and it is not just me I see them doing it to others. I don’t know if this is a followed trait that gets picked up by some when they’re promoted but it creates a huge divide and a segregated community. I found the best admin/staff members are the ones that keep their feet on the ground and stay down to earth and are friendly plus helpful.

You can talk to a regular member and usually get a reply or you will reply back but with some admin/staff nothing and it comes across as arrogant to me. I don’t know how that is meant to be respected? That is not to say that they need to reply to every message on here but to show some responsibility and leadership at times to live up to that title.

In my line of work I still get plenty of time to post and I can’t ignore members of the public or staff members I have to address them and yes it can be shit at times but has to be done. I have to be serious for a good portion of the day but this is a forum ffs have fun with it...

Real life/forum huge difference. Some people oh yes I am Mr serious this is like a career to me I will wear a suit to post my next message get a grip seriously it is a title that in real life outside the forum means absolute jack.

This is not for when I look at the thread next time all admin/staff members are messing around and been idiots for the sake of it but been a bit well more on the same level, realising there is no status here that puts you ahead of anyone no matter how well you might think it does.

Again not all, some certain admin/staff…

 

[IceAgeComing]

I'm going to reply to a few of these posts; but I'll do so in the General Discussion thread so we take the chat out of this thread

I will say that I can understand people being annoyed about things being drawn out, and the plans that we have for the next season should make this sort of thing a lot less likely to happen.

 

[Biggs]

Sure, my point was just we all come here for fun. Nobody is here for any other reason. Someone suggesting that "staff members have lives" insinuates that others don't, which is nonsense. Everyone's here for the same reason, staff included.

         Siddhant Bharadwaj   47(39b 6X4 2X6)

Not surprisingly, Raghu Ultra took himself off immediately after a disastrous 18-run first over.

33.1  Raj to Bharadwaj, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from TS Challagolla     
33.2  Raj to Bharadwaj, OUT, Thick edge well taken by Chall'olla

         Lameck Onyango        1(1b)

Prithvi Raj finally broke the partnership. This breakthrough may have come a little too late for the Demons, with the Muffins having already scored 238 off 34 overs, and requiring another 49 from the remaining 16 overs.

The ultimate twist in the tale came in the 43rd over, when SKR was run out after a Klusener-Donald esque mix up with the Muffins skipper. The Muffins now had another 3 runs to get with only tailenders to call upon.

Thats was a close one, but in the end the Hugging Muffins tail batted quite responsibly
Hugging Muffins played very well chasing such a big total
Thats all the cricket for now

I don't understand why batting all-rounder get full 10 overs to bowl and pure ar can't able bowl one good over... and even after updating player to top level, he still play like C quality player... This season PCPL is really worst...
