Id just like to say how much I now realise how good this forum is, when
I was briefly banned all other cricket forums were awful. I dont want
to sound like Dips and start saying you guys are my family  but Id just like to say great forum and keep it up!

Over the time the forum has improved a lot and the process continues and I feel no hesitation to say that it couldn't be possible without the mods and admins doing a fantastic job, although nobody is perfect. As per my knowledge, this is the best cricket forum which is exclusively dedicated to cricket. All the best for good work mates. ------------- "Excellence is something we can reach for; perfection is God's business." |

Yeah, by large the best forum in the world allthough I have been on no other ones. It's a fantastic place to chat and share your views and also you learn what people of other backgrounds are like for e.g the English are great with wit and the Aussies are dead serious about the game. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

maybe thats where England have been going wrong all these years, theyre
more interested in the lunch time banter than the lunch time team
talks. I wouldnt say Shane Warne was the most serious person ever but I
suppose there have to be exceptions. ------------- [ |

I honestly think that this forum is better than the others which is why I chose to join this site over all the rest, all the other forums I've looked out are either of a very poor quality of posting or the members there don't know anything about cricket. I even saw a couple of forums with links to porn on them!
Also Hugo, does this forum that's better than this site as you say have exclusive interviews with international cricketers, umpires, match referees etc, have it's own live commentary and have live radio commentary on each international cricket match? I think not!
So I think Cricket World out runs all the other forums by a considerable amount. ------------- On extended leave... |

There's only so much we can do on a forum as regards equipment, but as a site we're hoping to do a lot more things. Watch this space... The magazine has extensive equipment features in too. [/sales pitch] |

This Forum is simply the best in the world. It's 100 times better than the others and i must pay a lot of respect to the bigger guys ( Sledger, Clobber, -JP- ) who keep this forum under good order and control.

| i love the forum but if I have one small criticism, I have been a member for 3 days and there arent many posts per day I've noticed. maybe you should advertise this site better. Its really good. Cant you pay google to have it at the top when you type in cricket or something? Or even sponsor a county match or something. |

| i agree completely but you sometimes come across guys who will give you both quality and quantity and you will prbably find him drinking a beer with his mates at a county ground. He looks at a bill board, sees cricketworld.com in big letters and thinks that he would love a good chat about cricket on the net. Now, you have a new member who will contribute well.

The thing I love about this forum, it's the way some members use their witty ability in between the cricket talks. The odd jokes make the forum way more enjoyable.
After posting that, the members are really the ones who make it a great forum and that includes the mods for getting rid of the......ones. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Cricket World Forum has been great. Having joined this forum over a year ago I have been on every since I was sick in May. I suffred from chronic fatigue for about 9 months and in that time not being able to see the people that you know, there isen't much to do I guess. My passion for cricket kept me on this forum where I expressed my views and met many fascinating members. I guess what I am trying to say is Cricket World Forum is a place where you can express your views and read other member's, but whether you are doing either of these the members here make it a great forum!

Well i was following some of the fun and games on this forum when i was bored on the computer, i never knew the rest of the forum was there!!!
anyway i decided to join and since then it has been totally addictive and the only bad thing is, like samhache thinks, nobody posts back quick enough
anyway since i joined ive been on the forum constantly and they should do a forum award system on google because this would win every single cricket one for sure it definately deserves an award
also thanks jp sledge and clobs for keeping this in order (without you it would be a mess)
having looked at other peoples posts about how this IS the best one i looked around and the report is that people are right most are truly dreadful and this is the best
thanks for everythin guys

I love this forum, I'v viewed other cricket forums like planet cricket, and I'v read the terms of conditions about registering(whitch I normaly don't do), and after I did that, I through errrrrr too serious, and changed my mind. I first found this forum when I was looking for a cricket 07(pc game) website on google, and spelt it like "cricket o7" acadenalty, I then clicked on the top site and found the cricket 07 forum, thinking that was the only discusion on the forum, I then registed and since then i'v been addictived to this forum. Great forum, very addictive, Keep the good work up. It's a good forum, All the other cricket forums like planet cricket have their posts all messed up over the page. This forum is presented so neat and tidy. The people that write posts on planet cricket sound like dips, The way they say things and hardly know anything about cricket. Thanks guys , For an exalent forum. ------------- |

pretty quickly. Alternatively , if the post says little (or nothing)
it'll be greeted with silence. Logical really. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I've looked through 293 different cricket forums and definatly the neatest I've found so far,I've had troubles understanding some of the other forums. Another thing is that this forum has jokes as well and that makes it all the more enjoyable(That's right isn't it ).
