Kindly quote me at any point in this forum where I have said that or at the very least gave that impression.

hhm wrote::lol: Very interestingly biased responses so far. Clearly you do not yet grasp the import of my message! Funnily enough, I remember when I first made my entry into this forum, the majority accused me of being in dreamland as I was so optimistic and expectant of our Zimbabwean cricket team, and I remain the same. What you fail to recognise is that I'm on either extreme, and never in the middle, which is necessary to arrive at assessments utainted with emotion and loyalty. Hence you conclude that I am negative. In many ways my article echoes the sparse comments of many in this forum, except it's in a condensed form. If you consistently review most of what you have posted here you will no doubt realise that you have been far more scathing in some of your comments, than some of my statements here, and you will struggle to absolve yourself form that allegattion. Free your mind and allow it to be enlightened!

This post above is one that reeks of smugness. You want us to free our minds and be enlightened - presumably that means agree with you and your enlightened mind? Apparently your message is also more important that we are realising. I think we realise it's importance.

:D Circumstantial. Anyway, I could do without the unnecessary arguments flying in my direction, so I'll give you benefit of the doubt. Will spare you guys the 'articles/reviews'. Enjoy the cricket.

Ah now, guys, I was the first to disagree with hhm but lets not get personal, he said his view, we disagreed with it and lets leave it at that. Hhm, we enjoy many of your reviews and analysis but probability states some will come that we won't like, don't take it personally but keep on with it, we're all sharing our views here.

I have no problem with your articles/blogs and views. It is good to read views that are more detailed than Player A is crap or Player B is the best. Just don't get annoyed if we don't always agree with you.

I'm hardly the one annoyed, trust me!

I am not annoyed that you have different points of view from me. I wouldn't have lasted as long as I have on this forum if things like that bothered me. Anyway, I know tone can be misinterpreted when only reading so I realise misunderstandings can occur. All of this aside, none of us want you to stop posting your thoughtful comments.
