Welcome to At the Wicket, a new message board for cricket.
To set up the boards, the following forums have been created:
* International cricket. This is to discuss Test and one-day international cricket. Tour matches (eg a state side v a touring side) also belong in that forum.
* Domestic cricket. This is to discuss first-class and domestic limited-overs games - in Australia this is the Pura and ING Cups, or the equivalent competitions overseas.
* Grassroots cricket. This is to discuss grade cricket, sub-district cricket, juniors etc. If you play cricket (unless we get some first-class players coming on here, and if we do welcome) talk about your games here.
* My favourite players. Have a bit of fun here, talking about which players you like and don't like and your brushes with fame.
* Stats and trivia. Cricket lends itself to all sorts of weird and wonderful records, so if you find out something interesting or have a question here's your forum. We'll also attempt to get a trivia quiz going on here to test your knowledge.
* General talk. Talk about whatever you like here - other sports, music, social gatherings, jokes, anything.
Of course the normal rules as to any forum apply. Debate is great, but keep it civil. Don't say anything that could get anyone in trouble in the defamation courts. And spammers will be severely battered around the head and body.
So everyone, welcome to At the Wicket. Hope you have fun, and that the game of cricket is the winner.
And now the stumps are up, the bails are in place and the batsman has taken guard. Let's play.
